Why did Hunan produce so many outstanding talents in modern times?

Hunan is most famous for its Xiang army's combat capability.

From the geographical distribution of Hunan, Xuefeng Mountain divides Hunan into two halves, and Xiangjiang River and Zijiang River Basin are located to the west of Xuefeng Mountain. Zijiang and Xiangjiang river basins are located in the east of Xuefeng mountain, and Xiang army figures are mostly out of this.

after ten years of chopping wood, it is believed that Lianshui, as the largest tributary on the west bank of Xiangjiang River, is the most important channel leading from Zijiang River Basin to Xiangjiang River Basin in the water transport era, and it is also the most important area where Huxiang culture with Confucianism as its root spread to the west and collided and blended with Meishan culture, which advocates mysterious witchcraft in Zijiang River Basin.

"Hu Linyi is the representative of Zishui, Zuo Zongtang is the representative of Xiangjiang, and Zeng Guofan is the representative of Lianshui between Zijiang and Xiangjiang." Ten years' firewood cutting believes that the mutual support between the "friends circle of Zixiang" composed of Zeng, Zuo and Hu, the representatives of Xiang Army, is one of the important reasons for many famous soldiers in central Hunan.

In addition, the three fairs all have the values and life goals of "putting public interests above private interests, caring about the country's prosperity and people's livelihood, and clarifying the world's death before death". It is precisely because they are deeply rooted in the cultural soil of Hunan that such feelings and values can be cultivated. "If you are United as gold, if you attack the wrong stone", this is a summary of the relationship between Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and Hu Linyi after ten years of chopping wood.

Extended information:

The basic spirit of Huxiang culture is "simplicity and emphasis on righteousness", "courage and martial arts", "practical application" and "self-improvement". "Simple", that is, honest, vigorous, unadorned and unconstrained. "Heavy righteousness" means a strong sense of justice and group orientation. The integration of the two forms a unique Huxiang culture.

Hunan spirit: loyalty, responsibility, truth-seeking and ambition.
