Un filósofo legendario Lǎo Zǐ (alrededor de 580-470 a. C.)
El apellido de Lao Zi era Li y su nombre de pila, Er. Lao Zi es un título honorífico. Es ampliamente reconocido que Lao Zi es uno de los filósofos más venerados de la historia china. Existen numerosas leyendas sobre su nacimiento, carrera, enseñanza e ideas filosóficas.
Según una leyenda popular, Lao Zi fue concebido cuando su madre vio caer una estrella en su regazo y permaneció en el vientre materno durante 80 años. Al nacer, ya era un hombre adulto con barba canosa y largos lóbulos en las orejas, símbolo de buena fortuna y longevidad.
En su día, conservó los archivos de la corte real de la dinastía Zhou (aprox. siglo XI-256 a. C.). Sin embargo, posteriormente dimitió y se dirigió al oeste para difundir sus ideas y filosofía.
Un día, mientras montaba un buey, se acercó al Paso Hangu y fue detenido por Yinxi, un centinela que custodiaba el paso. Como fiel seguidor de la filosofía de Lao Zi, el oficial reconoció de inmediato al gran maestro. Pero, para pedirle a Lao Zi que le enseñara algo de su filosofía, le exigió al anciano un permiso oficial para salir del país. Lao Zi no tenía documentos, así que aceptó escribir un ensayo de 5000 palabras sobre su filosofía a cambio de un pasaje a Occidente. Ese ensayo resultó ser el famoso Daodejing (también conocido como «Tao Te Ching»), o el «Libro de la Virtud».
Hoy en día, académicos de todo el mundo siguen debatiendo si el libro fue escrito por Lao Zi o compilado por sus estudiantes y discípulos.
Sin embargo, todos coinciden en que refleja el pensamiento de Lao Zi. En él, Lao Zi utilizó el concepto de Dao (Tao) para explicar todos los cambios del universo. El Dao, que también se ha traducido como «Camino» o «Gran Integridad», se considera la fuente misteriosa o el ideal de toda la existencia.
El Tao Te Ching de Lao Tzu es un clásico de la filosofía china. La mejor manera de comprender a fondo esta obra es venir a China y asistir a un curso de chino a tiempo completo. Como el mejor país para aprender chino, China no solo ofrece cursos de idiomas de alta calidad, sino que también permite experimentar de primera mano actividades culturales tradicionales como los festivales chinos.

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.
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.
Since last semester, we started studying Chinese at Keats. It was the best choice we can ever make. It is a really good school. The classes are a lot of fun, you learn a lot, but very interactive, so you talk a lot which means it is not just books and writing. Kunming is a really pleasant city to live in, especially if you compare it to other cities in the east. If you like to travel, if you like to study Chinese in a fun way, Keats has the best Chinese language program for you.
I really enjoy studying Chinese in Kunming at Keats. The teachers are great and my classmates are awesome. It is an unforgettable experience for me. I also got the chance to travel to other places in Yunnan. Those places are amazing and you definitely need to visit these places when you study Chinese in China at Keats.
I have 2 teachers, and I do 4 hours a day. So I have got Dong Laoshi and Jin Laoshi. Both of them are very good. They made the experience very nice to me. They are willing to help you whenever, so if you ever have a question here, the teachers are always there to help you whether it is visas, whether it is getting around the city. Everyone wants to talk to you.
It is very convenient to come to Kunming from Thailand. I really like my Chinese class and my Chinese improved a lot in a few months. There are many benefits of learning Chinese. The best thing I like about Keats is that it is in Kunming, a city with eternal spring. There is so much to see in Kunming and you will love this city after you come.
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.
It has been notable because I have met a lot of people who I met first time last year like me to come back to Keats this year. The teaching has been fantastic. The teachers carefully prepare each lesson. I think this one-on-one approach is really a great way to rapidly increase your level of Chinese and increase your confidence and fluency with the language.
