Zeng Guofan's twelve articles of self-cultivation

1. Main respect: neat and serious, never careless. When nothing happens, the heart is in the cavity; When dealing with matters, we should be single and not mixed, like the rising sun.

2. Sitting in silence: Sit in silence for half an hour at any time every day, and experience the kindness of restoring the vitality of the static pole. The upright position is like the town of Ding.

3. Get up early: get up when you wake up.

4. Reading is not second: Never read another book before you finish reading it.

5. History reading: The twenty-three history of C's subscription is read ten pages a day, although there are things that do not stop.

6. I would like to say that time comes first.

7. Nourishing Qi: Qi is stored in the elixir field, and nothing can be said to people.

8. Safeguard the body: save labor and diet, and always treat it as recuperation.

9. Know its death day by day: I will talk about it after I remember tea every day. It is divided into morality, learning, economy and art.

10. Don't forget what you can do every month: write several poems every month to test the amount of accumulated wisdom and the strength of qi. Don't just stare at it. It's most easy to become addicted and frustrated.

11. Writing: Writing for half an hour after breakfast. All the entertainment in writing and ink will be regarded as your homework. Don't wait for tomorrow. The more you accumulate, the more difficult it is to clear.

12. Don't go out at night: I'm tired of my work!

曾国藩修身十二款

１、主敬：整齐严肃，无时不慎。无事时心在腔子里；应事时，专一不杂，如日之升。
２、静坐：每日不拘何时，静坐半时，体验静极生阳来复之仁心，正位凝命，如鼎之镇。
３、早起：黎时即起，醒后不沾恋。
４、读书不二：一书未点完，断不看他书，东翻西阅。
５、读史：丙申购二十三史，每日读十页，虽有事不间断。
６、谨言：刻刻留心，是工夫第一。
７、养气：气藏丹田，无不可对人言之事。
８、保身：节劳节欲节饮食，时时当作养病。
９、日知其所亡：每日记茶余偶谈一则。分德行门、学问门、经济门、艺术门。
10、月无忘所能：每月作诗文数首，以验积理之多寡，养气之盛否，不可一味眈着,最容易溺心丧志。
11、作字：早饭后作字半小时，凡笔墨应酬，当作自己功课，不留待明日，愈积愈难清。
12、夜不出门：旷功疲神，切戒切戒！
