Features: The origin of this "Neijing" is that Zeng Guofan completed it in the eighth year of the Tongzhi era. This was inspired by the "Huangdi Neijing," and he compiled his six-plus years of experience in self-cultivation and nurturing the mind into a classic of life wisdom. In this highly rich and insightful work, we see a Zeng Guofan who has thoroughly understood life and is adept at matters. His ability to persevere through storms and remain steadfast is because he practiced nurturing the mind, hiding the mind, protecting the mind, guarding the mind, letting go of the mind, changing the mind, and calming the mind, using these methods to deal with evil intentions, corrupt thoughts, and twisted thoughts. From this work of broad vision and sharp insight, we can see that Zeng Guofan was an "expert in inner sanctity," and it further proves that this masterpiece, which combines the desolation of life, the strategy of mastering one's destiny, and the unleashing of inner vitality, is a timeless classic.
