Minda
and I joined Prof. Pang’s (彭泓基教授) course named “Chinese
Traditional Wisdom Management” (中華智慧管理學) and the third lecture named “I
Ching and Sun Tzu's Art of War” (《易经》与 《孙子兵法》) was held on 9th May
2026.
We
took a photo with Prof. Pang and Master Andy Law.
Then
Tai Chi class members took a photo with Master Andy Law.
I also
took a photo with our Pinkle Ball teacher Mr. Partick Lui.
In the
beginning, Prof. Pang explained “Tao” (道) which is to understand the
nature. Life is from learning the Tao (學道) to cultivating the Tao (修道)
to understanding the Tao (悟道) and finally attaining the
Tao (得道).
The I Ching is the source of the Tao. Many classmates attended onsite.
Also
included online classmates!
Prof.
Pang described the core idea between I Chine and Sun Tzu’s Art of War. It included 1) Yin-Yang dialectics, 2) the
concept of change, 3) the three powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and 4) the
idea of cautious warfare.
Then he
briefed the content of the hexagram Shi (師) and The hexagram Bi (比)
as well as their modern application. Two Guos (卦)
indicate from war to peace.
And
then Prof. Pang explained the strategy named Winning Mindset (全勝思維).
I Ching is like underlying operating system and Sun Tzu's Art of War is like application
program.
The
hexagram Shi (師) and its Yao (爻)
had different meanings at different stages.
The
hexagram Bi (比) and its Yao (爻)
are also discussed.
After
that Prof. Pang using “Coin Divination” (金錢卦) predicted the result of “From
Iran's Perspective: The Advantages and Disadvantages of the US-Iran Conflict
and Solutions to the Dilemma”.
Prof.
Pang got the hexagram Ben (賁)
and explained each Yao (爻).
Since 3,
4 & 6 Yao are Moving Yao (動爻), the final result should be the
hexagram Zhen (震).
The hexagram Ben (賁)’s
mutual hexagram (互卦) is the hexagram Xie (解)
which is the process.
And
then Kinsen used “Coin Divination” (金錢卦) to predict the leader
meeting between US and China. I recorded the result and we got the hexagram Jiji
(既濟卦)
with two Moving Yao (1st and 5th Yao).
Finally,
Prof. Pang briefed the tactical thinking of surprise and conventional tactics (奇正戰術思維).
Some war
cases were quoted.
Lastly,
he explained the Winning Mindset (全勝思維) application in the modern
competition.
The
core concepts of Winning Mindset including Indirect Confrontation (非直接對抗,),
minimal cost (最小代價), Overall Success (整體圓滿)
and Positive Strategies (積極策略). Master Andy Law tells us
that Winning Mindset is the same as the core concepts in Tai Chi (太極)!
After
the lecture, we had lunch with Prof. Pang together.
