Advanced Class II for I Ching (易經高班II)–Lecture 3

Minda and I joined Prof. Pang’s (彭泓基教授) advanced class II for I Ching (易經高班) and Lecture 3 was held on 23^rd Mar 2024. Today’s topic was “I Ching and Wisdom of Man Being” (易經與做人的智慧). 

Firstly, Prof. Pang compared the application of Eastern and Western management. He said that Western management focused on handling matters but Eastern management focused on people themselves. 

Western management mainly handled the people (e.g. Human Resource) and projects. I Ching taught us how to face others and yourself. 

Then Prof. Pang briefed the characteristics of Chinese Culture including Harmony Society, Human Relations, Closeness and Distance, Loyalty and Competence. 

The most important is Social Norms (禮) that included in Confucianism.

The diagram showed the relationship among Survive, Living and Life (生存、生活、生命). 

After that He then explains the pursuit of wisdom and the path is from surface to deep and then understood the nature.

Prof. Pang also introduced how to be excellence management talent under Chinese culture.

The Confucian ethical and moral system centered on "Benevolence / Humanity (仁)" that is the essence. It is one part of Prof. Pang’s thesis that combined I Ching and Confucianism.

Finally, Prof. Pang discussed the litigation hexagram (訟卦).

The hexagram of litigation could be changed in mutual hexagram (互卦) that indicated different trend of change.

Based on the description of litigation hexagram (訟卦), some suggestions were proposed to solve the conflict. 

After the class, classmates had lunch with Prof. Pang together.

Then Minda come with So Easy to Huawei shop for managing her apps problem.
