Zeng Guofan's family letter 曾国藩 970Words 2018-03-18
【original】 Around Chenghou's fourth younger brother: After receiving my brother's handwriting, I know that my brother will recover within a few days of illness.Consolation and luck!Weidi took a lot of medicine, and insisted on Ze'er to seek medical treatment, but Yu Po didn't think so.When my ancestor Xinggang was around, he didn't believe in medicine, monks and witches, and earth masters. These three, my younger brother must be able to remember them one by one.Brothers of my generation should also follow this idea a little bit, so as to show the family tradition.This year I have been in the Taoist temple twice, and I have heard that there are often prayers and sacrifices. It is a festival of not believing in monks and witches, and I have lost my family tradition.Buying land for as much as thousands of gold is a disbelief in the land master, and it is against the family tradition.As for medicine, the whole family, old and young, almost no one does not want medicine, and no medicine is not expensive.①When the tonic medicine goes wrong, take cold medicine to attack it, and if the yang medicine goes wrong, take the yin medicine to moisten it.

In the spring of this year, I take more tonics, more cooling agents in late summer, and more moisturizing agents in winter.I hope that my younger brother will stop taking medicine less and focus on diet for recuperation.Although Ze'er is weak, the way to maintain her body is to eat carefully and control her appetite, not to take more medicines. Hong Qiupu was not present to sign the title deed of the Hong family, so there may still be tongue-in-cheek in the future.My brother has never been very convinced of the masters, monks and witches, and it is inevitable that they have been moved by customs recently. In the future, I will pray for great insight and firmness, and it is important to keep a little of my grandfather's family tradition.People who believe in monks and monks all over the world, have they ever seen someone who is invincible?In the public housing in Beiguo, I have no money to donate; in the winter of Jihai, I went to the mountains for surveys, and felt that it was at a loss. (December 24th in the tenth year of Xianfeng)

【Note】 ① Land Master: Mr. Feng Shui. ②迨: To, and. 【Translation】 Around Chenghou's fourth younger brother: Received a letter from my younger brother, and learned that my younger brother is recovering soon, I am very relieved!It's just that my younger brother took too much medicine and repeatedly asked Ze'er to seek medical treatment for you. I don't think so.When my grandfather Xinggang was alive, he had three non-beliefs: no superstitious medicine; no monks and wizards; no Feng Shui master.If you don't believe these three things, my brother will definitely remember them.Now we brothers should also follow this instruction, so as to inherit my family tradition.This year, my family has run a Taoist temple twice this year, and I heard that there are often prayers and sacrifices. It seems that I don't believe in monks and wizards, and I no longer follow them.Buying land for several thousand taels of silver, it seems that you don't believe in the land master... It is also against the family tradition.As for medicine, almost no one in the whole family, old or young, does not take medicine. No medicine is not expensive.Such repeated mistakes must be a serious illness.

My younger brother took more tonics in spring this year, more cold medicines in late summer, and more moisturizing medicines in winter.What I mean is that I want to persuade my younger brother to stop using drugs for a while and use diet to recuperate.Although Ze'er has a weak constitution, the way to maintain her body is just "eat carefully and control her appetite", and she will never take more medicine. Hong Qiupu was not present to sign the Hong family's land deed, so there may be a verbal dispute in the future.The younger brother has never believed in the land master, the monk and the witch, and it is inevitable that the local customs have changed recently. In the future, he hopes that his own vision will be unwavering, and it is important to preserve his grandfather's family tradition.People all over the world who believe in masters and monks, which family have you seen that has not been ruined because of this?Beiguo public housing, I have no money to donate.In the winter of Jihai, I climbed the mountain and surveyed it myself, and I felt that it was too vague. (December 24, the tenth year of Xianfeng)
