If you're not a beast, you're a saint"If you're not a saint, you're a beast". This statement reflected a dual life value orientation. From the perspective of Confucianism, a sage was a perfect and ideal personality model. He needed to reach a high level in terms of virtue (such as compassion, shame, humility, right and wrong, etc.) and intellect (knowledge level, etc.).
From the perspective of the School of Confucianism of the Cheng and Zhu dynasties, they emphasized the way to become a saint through the study of things and the principle of things. The School of Mind of Yang Ming was more inclined to start from the principle of virtue and advocated "conscience". He believed that as long as he believed in the conscience in his heart and seriously implemented it as a moral and behavior code, everyone could be a saint. However, the expression "if you are not a saint, you are a beast" reflected to a certain extent that if a person did not work hard in the direction of becoming a saint (possessing noble morality and wisdom), then he was no different from a beast who acted only by instinct and lacked morality and wisdom. In the historical context at that time, Zeng Guofan's similar views also contained multiple meanings such as encouraging himself and others to follow Confucian ethics, be positive, and assume social responsibility.

We're a family when we're togetherA family could usually refer to members of the same family, members of the same clan, or people of the same path. From the perspective of a family, parents and children formed a family group through blood relations; family members became a family because of the common family origin; from the perspective of a broad sense of "kindred spirits", groups with common goals and beliefs could also be regarded as a family. For example, in Journey to the West,"all are a family" refers to the situation where everyone is kindred spirits.
