Features: This series first focuses on selecting immortal historical masterpieces in various fields such as ancient Chinese philosophy, history, geography, literature, and science, as well as famous and widely circulated selected works passed down through generations. Considering the need for popularization and the target audience, each masterpiece, except for a few that are fully translated, is primarily a selection, where selected parts are annotated. The translations strive for accuracy and fluency, relieving readers from the difficulties of dealing with complex and obscure ancient texts. This makes the series suitable for the fast-paced modern era, allowing readers to directly engage with the essence of ancient Chinese culture while learning and applying it. The main content of this book is the complete compilation of original and duplicate manuscripts of Zeng Guofan's works over the decades he served in the imperial bureaucracy. This relentless dedication over the years has enabled us to be fortunate enough to see over 150 million words of his written materials, from which we can feel the fluctuations of the times, the personal teachings of a "revivalist minister" who never overlooked small acts, and the inner turmoil of Zeng Guofan, whose great achievements made him feel as if he were walking on thin ice and on the brink of a deep abyss.
