Seeing the spirit through face: Ma Yi's divine face Zeng Guofan on seeing the spirit of a person

Original text: The spirit is easy to see when it is vigorous, but difficult to see when it is intermittent. The one who breaks it breaks at the source, and the one who continues it continues at the closed place. The Taoist theory of tidying up as a starting point means that if something is not done, it is seen from the negligence, and if something is done, it is seen from the stitches. A careful person looks at it from the perspective of what he does not understand, and looks at it with a broad mind. If he is careless, it is what is called negligence. A bold person can be judged by what he has done: he is careful and thorough, never doing things half-heartedly, just like needle and thread. Both of them are actually looking inwards; if they move slightly outwards, they will fall into emotional states, and the emotional states are easy to see.

Colloquial language: When observing and identifying a person's mental state, it is easier to identify the one who is just pretending to be energetic, while it is more difficult to identify the one who seems to be pretending to be energetic but may actually be energetic. Even if one pretends to be cheerful and shows it outwardly, the characteristics of deficiency cannot be concealed. The abundance of spirit comes from its natural expression and is contained within.

Taoism has a theory of tidying up and getting started. When it comes to observing spirits, the key is: if one has not yet tidyed up, one should focus on his carelessness and unrestrainedness; if one has already tidyed up and got started, one should focus on his meticulousness and carefulness. For a cautious person, you have to look at him before he gets into the routine. In this way, you can find that the more cautious he is, the more careless and unthoughtful his actions are, and he always seems careless. This mental state is the so-called frivolous and careless. For a straightforward and bold person, you have to look at him after he gets into the routine. In this way, you can find that the more straightforward and bold he is, the more cautious and careful his actions are, and he does everything meticulously. This mental state actually exists in the inner world, but as soon as it is slightly revealed to the outside, it will immediately turn into mood, and mood is easier to see.

Author's note: From the above, we can see that Zeng Guofan judged a person based on his spirit and behavior. Applying this to modern society, we can summarize the following principles.
1. People who keep trying to gauge the direction all day and act according to circumstances are extroverts. This type of person is power-hungry and will do anything to achieve his goals.
2. People who accept a job and first consider responsibility and worry about gains and losses are conservative and incompetent. In order to cover up his incompetence, he often takes both positive and negative actions.
3. If he fails at work, he will become a neurotic person, withdrawn and unable to work harmoniously with others, but he will be careful and down-to-earth at work.
4. People who pretend to be busy, show off their authority, are complacent and have a strong desire to show off. He also likes to show off, is very arrogant, and is good at self-promotion.
5. People who often blame others for their poor performance may appear to be strong-willed, but they are actually lazy in nature.
