Introduction
This book offers a comprehensive analysis of Zuo Zongtang’s legendary life, from an ordinary peasant family member to a state minister, in a simple but profound manner. It not only details Zuo Zongtang’s outstanding contributions in military, political, and diplomatic fields, such as his achievements in quelling the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and recovering Xinjiang, but also deeply explores his unique personality. In addition, through a large number of historical materials and vivid narratives, the author demonstrates Zuo Zongtang’s firm beliefs and indomitable spirit in the face of national crises, as well as the wisdom and courage he displayed in handling state affairs. This book not only provides readers with an opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of Zuo Zongtang’s life and deeds but also offers a valuable perspective for us to understand the historical changes of Chinese society in the late Qing Dynasty.
