Speaking of this, Zhao Min raised his head and looked at Tang Lin opposite. Not only did his face no longer have the anxiety and recklessness before, but on the contrary, there was a hint of calmness and indifference. It was obvious that he was listening very seriously and would never interrupt.
At this time, he can be said to be completely different from the reckless man just now. Zhao Min nodded slightly, "You haven't been to that place, right?" Tang Lin replied directly, "I haven't been, but I must find an opportunity to go.
You see, seeing the place where that person lives with your own eyes is very different from reading a book. Just go on, if you have been there, you can be a tour guide for me."
Zhao Min continued quietly, "Zeng Guofan's former residence calls itself Fuhoutang, which is a typical Ming and Qing cloister-style building group that is symmetrical along the central axis. But among the houses he built himself, there was only one "Siyun Pavilion", with a front and a back.
The brave animal donated by people to ward off evil spirits basically embodies Zeng Guofan's view on building a house: "The house is not beautiful, but it must have a variety of bamboos and cypresses, and a vegetable garden, that is, it will occupy
It means "it's okay to go to four acres". What really makes people envious is their family's library, with its traditional wooden building, wooden stairs, wooden windows and wooden balcony, and the quiet bamboo forest leaning on a mountain, with towering ancient trees and good birds chirping from time to time.
Well, it is really a perfect place to study. When studying in a place like this, Zeng Guofan said that one should have the spirit of "the old rain turns fine into blue in three years, and the solitary lamp keeps green in the five nights."
"In addition to studying, Zeng Guofan also had his own experience in health preservation, and he imitated it for later generations. He once set twelve courses for himself, which are excerpted below: "The main respect: neat and serious, Qingming is bowing, like the sun rising; sit quietly
: No matter what time of day, sit quietly for four moments every day, with your posture straight and focused, like a town on a tripod; Get up early: Li
Get up at dawn, don't fall in love after waking up; read the same book: don't read other books before finishing one book; read history: read the three histories (referring to "Historical Records", "Hanshu", "Houhanshu"), circle ten points every day
page, even if there is something going on, it will not stop; I would like to say: pay attention at all times, the first step; nourish qi: qi is stored in the Dantian, there is nothing that cannot be said to others; keep safe
Body: be restrained in labor, abstinence, and diet; be aware of what you have every day: read every day and record your thoughts and words. Seeking deep meaning is showing favoritism; not forgetting what you can do every month: write a few poems every month to test your accumulation.
The amount of truth depends on how well the Qi is nourished. Don’t dwell on it, as it is most likely to become demoralizing. Writing: write for half an hour after a meal. All writing and ink entertainment
, take it as your own course. If you don’t wait for tomorrow, it will be harder to clear up the accumulated accumulation; if you don’t go out at night; if you are exhausted from work and work, you should be careful to avoid it.” Zeng Guofan believed: “There are about five things in the method of maintaining health: one is to sleep and eat regularly, and two
The third is to punish poverty, the third is to abstain from sexual intercourse, the fourth is to wash feet every night before going to bed, and the fifth is to walk three thousand steps each after two meals a day."
Zhao Min stopped again, with the same evil smile on his face that he showed upstairs, "You definitely can't do it when it comes to health care, but Mr. Lu has been doing very well. How long a person's career will last depends first on
How long is his life? This is a very simple truth, but now people
Some businessmen or successful people exchange their lives for power and money. This is what makes Mr. Lu unique. How many people in China have read this book? How many people want to see something from it?
Something? But how many people can actually do it?"
Tang Lin looked up at the sunset that was about to set, "It seems that it is not me but you who grow old before we grow old. I am very interested in one thing now. Who are you?"
However, Zhao Min did not argue with him on this issue, but continued her previous topic. This Tai Chi was played very well, without any trace of deliberateness.
"Zeng Guofan's will is also interesting. I think these words are the motto he left to his descendants through his life. The descendants of the Zeng family have broken the rule that wealth cannot last more than three generations, and there are talents in each generation. This scene should be said to be consistent with the family.
The family motto passed down from generation to generation is inseparable. He said: "I have been a member of the imperial family for more than 30 years, and I have reached the highest level of officialdom. However, I have achieved nothing in my studies and have no moral character. I am old and injured, and I am extremely terrified and ashamed. Today
I will bid you farewell forever, and I have established four special rules to teach you brothers."
"Firstly, being cautious about being alone will bring you peace of mind. The way to self-cultivation is never difficult to cultivate the mind; the difficulty of cultivating the heart is to be cautious about being alone. If you can be cautious about being alone, you will not feel guilty when you introspect, and you can blame the gods and ghosts in the world. If a person has nothing to be ashamed of, then the world will be at peace.
You should be calm, your mind is always quick and broad, it is the first way to self-improvement in life, the first way to find happiness, and the first priority to protect yourself."
"Second, the Lord is respectful, which makes the body strong. Internally, he should be focused, quiet and unified, and externally, he should be orderly and solemn. This is the work of respect. When going out, it is like seeing a distinguished guest, so that the people can accept the big sacrifice, and the atmosphere of respect is also there. Cultivate yourself to calm the people, and be respectful to the world.
Ping, the effect of respect is also the result. Intelligence and wisdom all come from this. The more solemn, the stronger, and the more peaceful, the more stealthy. If there are no crowds, no matter how big or small, everyone is respectful and does not dare to be slow, how can the body be strong?
Doubtful?"
"Thirdly, seeking benevolence will please others. All human beings are born with the principles of heaven and earth to form their nature, and the breath of heaven and earth to take shape. I and the people are basically from the same source. If you only know your own selfishness but don't know it,
Benevolence to the people and love for things is contrary to the original principle of one source. As for respecting officials and being rich in salary, Gao
If you live above the people, you have the responsibility to save the people from drowning and starvation. Reading and studying the ancients, and having a rough understanding of the great meaning, means that you have the responsibility to wake up and realize later. Confucius teaches people that nothing is greater than seeking benevolence, and the first thing is not to be
If you want to establish people, you want to reach people and speak words. Is there anyone who is unhappy with the people who have established people and returns home?"
"Fourth: Practicing labor will lead to spiritual enlightenment. The food a person eats in the clothes he wears in a day is commensurate with the strength used in what he does in a day. Then others will greet him, ghosts and gods will promise him, thinking that he earns his own living. If a farmer weaves a woman,
Work diligently throughout the year to make several stones
There are several feet of millet for the cloth, but the rich and noble family enjoys themselves all the year round without running a single business, but the food must be rich and delicious, and the clothes must be beautiful. Sleeping soundly in the sky, and calling hundreds of promises, this is the most unfair thing in the world, and it is not allowed by ghosts and gods.
How long can it last? Ancient sages and wise men
, you must always strive for self-improvement through hard work. If you are planning for the world, you must practice skills, hone your muscles and bones, practice what you know, and worry about dangers, and then you can increase your wisdom and knowledge. If you are planning for the world, you must be hungry for yourself.
Drowning, one man does not have sex, leads to
Yu Gu. Dayu and Mozi were both extremely frugal in order to devote themselves to life and extremely diligent in saving the people. Diligence will lead to longevity, ease will lead to premature death, diligence will lead to talents that will be used, and ease will lead to abandonment in vain. Diligence will benefit the people.
However, if the gods admire you, you will not be able to help others, and the gods and ghosts will not respect you."
…
Tang Lin had to start to seriously admire the woman in front of him who was almost the same age as him, because it was really rare for a woman to memorize Zeng Guofan's will so skillfully.
Today is an impetuous society, where money is becoming more and more important, and people's hearts are becoming more and more erratic. Therefore, a woman like Zhao Min even seems to be a little incompatible with this society and environment, but on the other hand, she has become Lu Zhanxing's most trusted one at such a young age.
As his right-hand man, he bluntly said that his current achievements are definitely above his.
But the question seems to have returned to its original point: why is she so obsessed with Zeng Guofan's family letters?
Who is she?
Tang Lin didn't ask further questions. He knew that the woman would tell herself when she should speak. When she shouldn't speak, it would be useless to ask. He couldn't arrest her and torture her.
"Big people are big people. They pay more and achieve more. What's even more rare is that most of them are consistent. But you are definitely not saying this because you see the potential and shadow of such a big person in me, right? What about me?
