Six Wisdom Management (六慧管理) – Lecture 4

Minda and I joined Prof. Pang’s (彭泓基教授) course named “From the wisdom of the I Ching to the Six Wisdom Management” (從易經智慧到六慧管理) Lecture 4 held on 10^th Oct 2026. In the beginning, Prof. Pang shared sharing his life insights.

Those life insights covered business, political, marriage, health and fate.

And then he reviewed the basic concepts of Eight Characters for Destiny (八字命理) and using AI for interpretation.

To make it easier to remember, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches (天干地支) are illustrated as diagram.

Those relationship of the conjunction (合) of Heavenly Stems were showed.

Ten Gods (十神) had three meanings level that including the first level for people relationship, the second level for issues functionality and the third level for personal characteristics.

After that Prof. Pang introduced “Zi Wei Dou Shu” (紫微斗數)” Natal Chart (命盤). And he explained how to read the "Three sides and four cardinal directions" (三方四正) that is the core concept in Zi Wei Dou Shu fortune telling. It refers to the combination of a main palace with its three sides (three-way combination) and the opposite palace (four cardinal directions), forming a four-palace combination.

Using the “Zi Wei Dou Shu” Sihua Flying Stars Natal Chart (飛星及命盤), it can predict natal chart, major luck cycle, annual luck cycle (本命、大運、流年).

We also learnt how to use the Zi Wei Dou Shu Self-Transformation Table (紫微斗數自化表).

Finally, Prof. Pang explained the 14 Major Stars are (14主星) and their location in the Natal Chart and its transformation in different year.

Since I had duty for PolyU Info Day, we hadn’t joined the I Ching lunch together. Then Minda led So Easy and her son to visit PolyU. We took a photo for memory.

After that they visited Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) and CityU. We had dinner in CityU at the end of their visit.

CMS1000 Guest Talk – Introduction to AI Coding（From Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering）

It is our honor to invite Mr. Keith Li (Co-founder and CEO, Innopage Limited) to give a talk for the 1^st year students in the course CMS1000 - Computer and Mathematical Sciences Professionals in Society under Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences (FCMS) on 5^th Oct 2026. The objectives of CMS1000 are to introduce students to variety of professions, enthuse students about their major study and engage students in desirable forms of university learning. It is the 5^th lecture and his topic named “Introduction to AI Coding – From Vibe Coding to Agentic Engineering”. In the beginning, I took a selfie with Mr. Keith Li. We met at the Cyber Security Summit last year.

In the beginning, Mr. Keith Li gave self-introduction about his background including AI and entrepreneur in industries and education. His companies got many different ICT awards.

Then he shared most updated news about AI including Anthropic boss views.

And then Keith shared 3 radical GenAI predictions for 2027 that it is the end of manual coding, infographics and commercial posters. He demonstrated how to do the infographic using GenAI onsite.

After that he introduced Vibe Coding that is a software development approach where you use natural language prompts to instruct an AI tool to write, run, and fix code.

He also quoted Andrej Karpathy (Co-founder, OpenAI) who explored the shift from casual AI prompting ("vibe coding") to structured oversight ("agentic engineering").

Mr. Keith Li showed a diagram which explained from prompting to agentic engineering.

Finally, he introduced NotebookLM to do slides and changed to editable PowerPoint!

Keith also compared the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) where SEO helps company’s pages rank in traditional search engine results (like Google and Bing), while GEO helps company’s brand get cited and included inside AI-generated answers and assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews).
