En legendarisk filosof Lǎo Zǐ (ca. 580-470 f.Kr.)

Lao Zis efternavn var Li, og hans fornavn var Er. Lao Zi er en ærestitel. Det er bredt anerkendt, at Lao Zi er en af ​​de mest ærede filosoffer i kinesisk historie. Der findes adskillige legender om hans fødsel, karriere, undervisning og filosofiske ideer.

Ifølge en populær legende blev Lao Zi undfanget, da hans mor så en stjerne falde ned i hendes skød, og han blev i livmoderen i 80 år. Da han blev født, var han allerede en voksen mand med et gråt skæg og lange øreflipper, et symbol på lykke og et langt liv.

Han opbevarede engang det kongelige hofs arkiver for Zhou-dynastiet (ca. 11. århundrede-256 f.Kr.). Men han trak sig senere tilbage og drog vestpå for at udbrede sine ideer og sin filosofi.

En dag, mens han red på en okse, nærmede han sig Hangu-passet og blev stoppet af Yinxi, en vagtpost, der bemandede passet. Som en trofast tilhænger af Lao Zis filosofi genkendte officeren straks den store mester. Men for at bede Lao Zi om at lære ham noget om hans filosofi, krævede officeren, at den gamle mand fremviste en officiel tilladelse til at forlade landet. Lao Zi havde intet dokument, så han indvilligede i at skrive et essay på 5.000 ord om sin filosofi til gengæld for passage til Vesten. Essayet viste sig at være den berømte Daodejing (også “Tao Te Ching”) eller “Dydens Bog”.

I dag diskuterer forskere verden over stadig, om bogen faktisk blev skrevet af Lao Zi eller samlet af hans elever og disciple.

De er dog alle enige om, at bogen afspejler Lao Zis tankegang. I bogen brugte Lao Zi konceptet Dao (Tao) til at forklare alle forandringer i universet. Dao, som også er blevet oversat til “Vej” eller “Stor Integritet”, betragtes som den mystiske kilde eller idealet for alle eksistenser.

Lao Tzus “Tao Te Ching” er en klassiker inden for kinesisk filosofi. Den bedste måde at forstå dette værk i dybden på er at komme til Kina og deltage i et fuldtidskursus i kinesisk. Som det bedste land at lære kinesisk tilbyder Kina ikke kun sprogkurser af høj kvalitet, men giver dig også mulighed for at opleve traditionelle kulturelle aktiviteter såsom kinesiske festivaler på første hånd.

HAVE STUDIED AT KEATS

Small Group Chinese Class

Kunming is a great place to learn Chinese in China because not many Chinese on the street speak English. Keats has been a great school for me and a lot of other foreigners who studied in China recommended it to me. I think they are all right. The study method here is really structured. They make learning Chinese really easy. There are also a lot of cultural and natural places to visit.

Before I came to Keats School, I had no confidence in my Chinese proficiency. I did not have the confidence to speak Mandarin Chinese and chat with Chinese people. However, after 4 months of study at Keats, I become more and more confident in speaking Chinese now. Studying Chinese in China at Keats School has been the best decision I have ever made. There are many games in the class, and my teacher’s teaching methods are also very interesting. My experience at Keats School has changed my view of China and Chinese people.

I took the one-on-one Intensive Chinese class for 6 hours a day. The classes are very interesting. The teachers are caring and the content the teacher teaches me is suitable for my level. It is an easy way to learn Mandarin. I have a lot of time practicing Chinese in class. The food is great here. I have improved my Chinese through this program at Keats.

They really care about what our interests are, what questions we have, what requirements we have. Then they adjust our Chinese language program content according to the situations. One teacher and one student, so it is easy to keep your focus for the 6 hours of immersion Mandarin lessons. It is very convenient to study, live and eat in one building.

I’ve had a really great time here. I’ve studied a lot with my teacher who was fantastic. Keats School tried very hard to match its students with really good teachers that their personality works very well together. I really enjoy studying Chinese at Keats and I will definitely come back.

I can’t tell you how much I liked it. The thing I liked about the teachers and the teaching method is that there is so much flexibility. The other thing I liked about the teaching is the combination of classic textbook learning and going outside. I loved it! I like getting to know other students. Everybody shared the same goal and that’s making their Chinese better. Kunming is a big city, but it is very safe to live here. Another thing I liked about Keats is the idea that people here help you. I can’t recommend it enough. I think it was a valuable experience. Looking forward to coming back!

It doesn’t matter what level of Chinese you have, or even you can start from the zero level. Your teacher will prepare the lessons according to your requirements. The advantage of living in the school is that you will have your tutoring, you will have your private accommodation with your own bathroom and all the meals provided. I highly recommend everybody to actually take the whole package because you get to meet other students.

One thing I really liked was that I was able to work with my teacher to make an individual plan of study. Another really nice thing is that you live at the school, you feel completely safe.  You always have a group of people who are willing to do things with you on the weekends or in the evenings. They are serving you all the 3 meals a day, the food was excellent.
