Chinese Traditional Wisdom Management Course (中華智慧管理學) - Lecture 4

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 four lecture was held on 9^th May 2026. This time, Prof. Pang introduced I Ching principles, Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi (《易經》和老子、莊子).

We had breakfast with Mr. Ben Tsang before the lecture.

Master Andy Law, Mr. Ben Tsang, Minda and I took a photo for memory.

Firstly, Prof. Pang briefed the core idea of I Ching. It included Change I (變易), Yin and Yang (陰陽), Change rule (簡易) and Unchange I (不易).

The reasons why the I Ching is hailed as the "Source of the Great Tao" are based on source of time, idea and function. For time, it covers thousands of years. For idea, I Ching affected all old Chinese ideas. For function, it related to the astronomy and calendar.

And then he explained the important role of the I Ching in modern people that it worked as Change Handbook, using it for predication and got the life opportunities and direction.

After that Prof. Pang reviewed the overall concepts of Confucianism (儒家思想) based on I Tao (易道). 

Then he introduced the Lao Tzu's philosophy for exploring the Wisdom and Mysteries of the “Tao Te Ching” (道德經). The source and rule of “Tao” were explained and key concept related to nature.

And he mentioned the Unity of Opposites (對立統一) based on the Yin and Yang (陰陽). He concluded that the Tao follows nature's way. Through simplicity, non-action (無為), and harmony, one aligns with the universe's flow, finding balance and authentic power.

The last part was The Wisdom of Zhuangzi: The Philosophy of Life of a Taoist Cultivator (莊子的智慧:修道者的人生觀). 

Prof. Prof. Pang demonstrated how to cultivate the Inner Alchemy (修炼內丹). Understanding life based on Zhuangzi, 50 years old is a watershed moment. Before that, your life is for others; after that, your life truly belongs to yourself.

Finally, Prof. Pang quoted the chapter 38 of “Tao Te Ching” (道德經) that critiques Confucianism.

Lastly, he analyzed the significance of Zhuangzi's philosophy in modern society.

After the lecture, we had lunch together.

Luckily, I met my old HD classmate Roger in the restaurant.
