Chinese Traditional Wisdom for the Study of Knowing People II (中華智慧知人學 II)–Lecture 4

Minda and I attended Prof. Pang’s (彭泓基教授) course named “Chinese Traditional Wisdom for the Study of Knowing People II” (中華智慧知人學 II) lecture 4 on 4^th Oct 2025. In the beginning, Prof. Pang told a story about career.

One cartoon slide said “Your performance is determined by the tasks your boss assigns you, not by what you can do.”

Then he reviewed the “I Ching and Wisdom of Man Being” (易經與做人的智慧).

Prof. Pang compared the application of Eastern and Western management, indicating that Western management focused on handling matters and Eastern management focused on people themselves.

There were new students today, and many students had participated online.

And then he briefed the Chinese characteristics. The last term named “Red & Profession”. Red means loyalty and Profession means capability.

After that Prof. Pang continued the remained part of “The wisdom of power” (權的智慧) that included the power plotting (謀權)、consolidating (攬權)、mastering (通權)、securing (固權)、exercising (用權)、containing (制權)、delegating (分權)、usurping (擅權) and cautious use (慎權). 

Then he briefed the concepts and story about Guiguzi's Wisdom (鬼谷子的智慧).

During the break, we discussed together.

After that Prof. Pang introduced Zeng Guofan's wisdom of Identifying and Employing People (曾国藩的识人用人智慧)

Finally, we discussed The Way of Loyalty and Treachery based on Shiyingxue (仕贏學) and Luozhijing (羅織經). 

The overall flow charts were demonstrated and explained. 

Lastly, he briefed how to manage your boss, sub-ordinary as well as self-protection.

After the lecture, we had lunch together. The new classmate in the middle (beautiful girl) who studied PhD in Political Philosophy in HKU.
