Polygamy is a "bad habit" in ancient China, and of course, as a man, polygamy can be said to be everyone's dream.
In ancient times, ordinary people with slightly more privileged families would at least accept a concubine for the male owner, not to mention a large family, and three wives and four concubines were commonplace.
But at the same time of three wives and four concubines, whether it is a slight impact on the body or career, there are not a few cases of irreparable consequences caused by lust, and there are many people who want to restrain themselves and change the bad habits of lust.
In the late Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan was also a member of the army of quitting sex, he tried countless methods, all of which ended in failure, but in the end he thought of a stupid way to successfully quit sex, which made Zeng Guofan put a lot of energy on his career and made great achievements in his career.
In fact, this method is really a stupid method, that is, to keep yourself busy, so that there is no extra energy to covet beauty. It sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult to do.
Zeng Guofan only stepped into the official career at the age of twenty-seven, at this time Zeng Guofan and his wife Ouyang have been married for more than ten years, the relationship between the husband and wife is very good, and Zeng Guofan did not take concubines like others or anything.
But after becoming an official in the capital, everything slowly changed. When he first entered the capital, Zeng Guofan was shocked by the prosperity of the capital, met all kinds of people and things, and also met the first friend in the capital, in the friend's house, Zeng Guofan saw his friend's wife and concubine, the wife was dignified and generous, the concubine was playful and cute, and the flame in Zeng Guofan's heart was ignited.
During the period of being an official in the capital, Zeng Guofan was drunk all day long, and he sank into the land of fireworks every day with his three or five friends.
It wasn't until Zeng Guofan's father came to visit him in the capital and heard about Zeng Guofan's actions that he returned to his hometown after a short stay of a few days and left a letter for Zeng Guofan. The letter warned Zeng Guofan that he was nearly 30 years old, and it was the time to make meritorious contributions, and he must not covet beauty and nostalgia for the land of fireworks. Zeng Guofan woke up after seeing his father's earnest teachings to him, and suddenly realized that he had studied hard for decades, how could he forget his original intention, so he made up his mind to start quitting sex!
Zeng Guofan, who began to quit sex, thought of a way, that is, to record his lustful behaviors one by one in the codex and look through them every day, so that he could be alert!
But this method did not work, as long as you forgot to record or deliberately did not record, it will not play a role in alerting yourself at all.
Zeng Guofan thought about it left and right, and finally thought of the root of the problem, if he focused on his career during the day, then he would have no other thoughts to think about other things at night.
Even if he had free time, he would invite his friends to study ancient books, practice calligraphy, and discuss national affairs, so as to ensure that he would not have other energy to do other things.
Since then, Zeng Guofan has been getting smoother and smoother on his official journey, and he has gradually gained a firm foothold in the imperial court. After a long period of self-discipline, Zeng Guofan's whole temperament has also been greatly improved, and his bosses also praise Zeng Guofan.
In this way, Zeng Guofan and his wife were together until they grew old, of course, Zeng Guofan also accepted a concubine, but this was also at the strong request of his wife Ouyang, Zeng Guofan agreed, otherwise Zeng Guofan would only have Ouyang's wife in this life. In their time, it was a rare feat to be monogamous! **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
