� As a part of the “New Education Guidance Experiment Chinese Civilization Course Research Project”, the project is taught by Zhu Yongxin, and is carried out specifically by the project’s responsible person Huang Mingyu and his team. It is supported by the “Chinese Civilization and Basic Education Guidance Research” special fund under the New Education Guidance Foundation. This article is a series of teaching records of modern historical figures taught by Yao Zhongqiu in February 2019, published publicly to treat readers.
We will talk about Zeng Guofan tomorrow, Zeng Wenzhenggong. Zeng Wenzheng has also been a bigmanager has manyBaocai Love When learning Chinese civilization, everyone is very good at learning about Zeng Wenzheng, especially many entrepreneurs. Especially after the writer Tang Haoming wrote a novel about Zeng Guofan, this Zeng Wenzheng was widely spread across the country. “Zeng Wenzheng Public Book” and other special styles of national academic readings. Zeng Wenzheng was indeed a very important thinking and political figure in his later generations! He is also a model for a master of a master who is in the transition period, and he has a good attitude towards the professionalism that “takes the whole country as his responsibility” and changes his personality energy.

Zeng Wenzheng’s career was in the mid-19th century, when China was on a downward tide. We want to briefly talk to the master about why China is in decline. Zeng Wenzheng’s first achievement was to calm down the “Hongyang Incident”, which was the largest rebellion from the agricultural base in history. The reason for the scale is that there are two reasons: one is that in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, after the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, the birth of the rebellious generation reached the ultimate scale, and the growth of the rebellious generation will increase in the same proportion. This is a reason. Another reason, Hong and Yang applied religions from Europe as things for their rebels. So we can also say that this “Hong Yang’s affair” is the first time that Eastern civilization has had an in-depth impact on China. It is a very distorted method – as a rebellious act as a bottom-level rebellious act.

Of course, the most basic reason is that there is still a problem in Chinese society itself. To put it simply, it is the original economic situation and there is no way to solve the problem of eating so many people. The actual rebellion of the uppermost layer began to rise and fall after the end of the Kangxi and Qianlong periods. The relatively large-scale rebellion in the early 19th century, such as the Baili Cult, also broke out in western Guanxi, Sichuan and Hubei. There are many nearby implications in this mountainous area. Later, there was “Hong Yang’s affair”, and later there were Nian bandits… In the end, the chaos continued to last for the 19th century, and it was obvious that society was in trouble.
The important thing about this problem is that it cannot achieve economic situational breakthrough. Because the rebellious cause of the bottom layer is very simple, he has no high-profile fantasies, he just wants to find a bowl of rice to eat. He didn’t fall to the ground, and he became a slumber. As long as someone instigates you, you will become rebellious. So it can be said that the Kangxi and Qianlong world is committed to our traditional society reaching a peak state. We all know that prosperity and decline, and reaching the peakThe situation is about to go downhill. The birth of the genus had reached more than 300 million in the late Qianlong period. It is actually a big problem to eat so many raw meat. In this regard, industrialization is China’s savior. In fact, in China’s past thousands of years of history, the rebellion of the bottom layer without eating food has always occurred periodically. Traditional society has this problem. In this regard, we should thank the British for taking the lead in completing the industrial reaction, so that humans can be better preserved and found a solution plan. Of course, China itself has still undergone some twists and turns to industrialization. Therefore, there is an internal reason for the explosion of “Hong Yang’s affair”. But Eastern religion also had a major impact on the scale of this chaos and its continued time.
The situation of scholars in the Qing Dynasty
Let’s talk about this outlook first. I think the masters are a little clearer about the experience of Zeng Wenzheng. I just want to emphasize that Zeng Wenzheng was also a very important figure in the history of Confucianism in the Qing Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty entered the reign of the Qing Dynasty, on the one hand, they highly respected Confucius and had simple matters and reason, because they were an alien race. Not only did the Han people think so, but they also felt very self-righteous about it. Although we said in the forefront that the Qing Dynasty Huang Taijin, the Chinese-level rulers, was actually the highest among the southern tribes who entered the Hanxia region, and could be considered as the most important Han people. But in all aspects of clothing and respect, there is still a difference between them and the Han people. Therefore, I have suspicion about Han people.

In order to understand the conflict with the Han people and to touch people’s hearts, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was extremely respectful of Confucius. He wanted to win the determination of the scholars for it, so like Kang and Qianlong, they all went to Guozijian and even Qufu. It’s like Qianlong had to pass through Qufu during his southern tour and go to Confucius with great determination. But the emperor did not have one before. They did not have such a frequent tour of the south, so they would not have the chance to go to Qufu. Qianlong seemed to have married his daughter to Yan Shenggong, which seemed to have never been before.
So on the one hand, they especially respect Confucius, but on the other hand, they are strictly guarding against scholars. Shunzhi made a monument, which could be called the scholastic standards of scholars. He ordered the whole country to place this stone carving in the palace, so every hole has such a monument, and now some holes still have it. There are various requests for scholars on the monument. It is like saying that you must not speak without authorization, and you must not publish and print collections without authorization.No discussion on national affairs, no writing to the emperor, etc. In short, it is a bit similar to the policies adopted by Li Si and Qin Shihuang, although it is a little gentler – to strictly guard against the political affairs of scholars.

In common with this, the master knows that he is excited about the “text gang” and aims to shock the crowd. Especially the “Writing Ball”, the important thing is to capture the literati in Jiangnan. Because Jiangnan had a pure and literati since the Middle Tang Dynasty, there were the most literati, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the literati of Jiangnan pointed out mountains and rivers and inspired the words, so the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty defeated this. This reduced the popularity of the Qing Dynasty’s taxi.
This scholar is specifically about Confucian scholars, and we are all more experienced. So when you do your studies, you will be able to learn from Qianlong, Jiaqing and Han dynasties. You will be careful to take the exam, put them in the pile of old papers, and do some writing exam tasks. Of course, we talk about it from the perspective of the long history of civilization development, it is also interesting. Most of the ancient books we see tomorrow are actually cleaned up by the Qing Confucians, so we can read them and be more reasonable. There are many books, such as “Mozi”, which was not followed for one or two thousand years, but the Qing scholars turned it over and carried out written proofreading, so that we can read it tomorrow. There are many books, but they
