Zeng Guofan, a scholar, entered the civil service through imperial examinations and rose to prominence, becoming a minister and military general. His success can be attributed not only to his "masterful arts" in navigating the court but also to his proven "techniques for recognizing people" in official circles, which he had summarized. It was this technique that allowed him to attract a large number of outstanding talents in a short time, such as Li Hongzhang, Li Han Zhang, Zuo Zongtang, Guo Shoukang, Peng Yukun, Shen Baozhen, Jiang Zhongyuan, and others. These brilliant figures not only helped Zeng Guofan achieve his great achievements but also left their mark on history.
