Intermediate Class for I Ching (易經中班) – Lecture 4

Prof. Peng’s (彭泓基教授) Intermediate class for I Ching (易經中班) Lecture 4 was held on 24^th Jun 2023. The course has six lectures from 3^rd Jun to 15^th Jul 2023. I would like to summarize some key points of the lecture below. His first topic named “Looking at Team Spirit from the Management Wisdom of I Ching”.

Firstly, Prof. Peng briefed Maslow hierarchy of needs and added more details such as “Need to Avoid Pain & Experience Pleasure”, “Need to Contribution”, “Need for Understanding”, “Need for Beauty” and “Transcending the Self”.

Then he discussed the individual and team. In Chinese, company is like family.

And then he explained the position in the right location of Hexagram / Gua (卦) that different position has different role in the organization. 

After that Prof. Peng mentioned three levels of organization structure and they were basic, middle and top level. Different level staff considered different values. He concluded the characteristics of human organization including changing level, role & responsibility, as well as, Humanism (情), Rationality (理) and Rules (法). 

The second topic is Family Hexagram (家人卦) and he explained harmony enhancing the competitive power.  

Family Hexagram (家人卦) that upper is Xun Gua (巽卦) and lower is Li Gua (離卦). Look like wind blow the fire.

Zhongyong (中庸) is the key for management that close to Tao (道) / nature (自然).

And then he explained the level of each Yao (爻) meaning on Family Hexagram (家人卦).

Like previous lecture, he also showed the different change of Family Hexagram (家人卦) to other Gua (卦).

Finally, Prof. Peng briefed “Till Philosophy (止學) and I Ching Investment”. 

He used Qian and Kun Gua (乾坤卦) as life cycle for explaining stock market change.

He used wave theory to compare layman investors and professional investors.

Lastly, Prof. Peng combined different Chinese philosophies and life cycle from Qian Gua (乾卦). 

After the lecture, we had lunch together.

Then Minda and I visited PolyU.
