曾国藩在许多人的心目中就是一个不折不扣的理学家。确实,他在许多方面都带有理学家的特点。但是,他在理学发展史上却没有留下什么著作,而且他对理学思想的议论也多重复和阐述朱熹等人的余唾。因此,曾国藩是否是个理学家这个问题还有待考证。 In many people’s minds, Zeng Guofan is an out-and-out physicist. Indeed, in many ways he carries the characteristics of the physicist. However, he did not leave any writings in the history of the development of Neo-Confucianism, and his remarks on Neo-Confucianism also multiply and elaborate the rest of Zhu Xi and others. Therefore, whether Tseng Kuo-fan is a rationalist remains to be verified.
