Legendaarinen filosofi Lǎo Zǐ (noin 580-470 eKr.)

Lao Zi’n sukunimi oli Li ja hänen oikea nimensä oli Er. Lao Zi on kunnianimi. Lao Zi on yleisesti tunnustettu yksi Kiinan historian kunnioitetuimmista filosofeista. Hänen syntymästään, urastaan, opetuksestaan ​​ja filosofisista ajatuksistaan ​​on lukuisia legendoja.

Erään suositun legendan mukaan Lao Zi siitettiin, kun hänen äitinsä näki tähden putoavan syliinsä, ja hän pysyi kohdussa 80 vuotta. Syntyessään hän oli jo aikuinen mies, jolla oli harmaa parta ja pitkät korvanlehdet, jotka symboloivat onnea ja pitkäikäisyyttä.

Hän piti aikoinaan kuninkaallisen hovin arkistoja Zhou-dynastian ajalta (noin 1000-luku – 256 eaa.). Myöhemmin hän kuitenkin erosi ja meni länteen levittämään ajatuksiaan ja filosofiaansa.

Eräänä päivänä ratsastaessaan härällä hän lähestyi Hangun solaa ja solan vartija Yinxi pysäytti hänet. Lao Zi’n filosofian uskollisena seuraajana upseeri tunnisti suuren mestarin heti. Mutta pyytääkseen Lao Zi’ta opettamaan hänelle jotakin filosofiastaan ​​upseeri vaati vanhaa miestä esittämään virallisen luvan poistua maasta. Lao Zi’lla ei ollut asiakirjaa, joten hän suostui kirjoittamaan 5 000 sanan esseen filosofiastaan ​​vastineeksi matkasta länteen. Essee osoittautui kuuluisaksi Daodejingiksi (myös ”Tao Te Ching”) eli ”Hyveen kirjaksi”.

Tutkijat ympäri maailmaa keskustelevat edelleen siitä, kirjoittiko kirjan Lao Zi itse vai kokosivatko sen hänen oppilaansa ja opetuslapsensa.

He kaikki ovat kuitenkin yhtä mieltä siitä, että kirja heijastaa Lao Zi ajattelua. Kirjassa Lao Zi käytti Dao (Tao) -käsitettä selittääkseen kaikkia maailmankaikkeuden muutoksia. Dao, joka on käännetty myös ”tieksi” tai ”suureksi rehellisyydeksi”, on kaiken olemassaolon salaperäinen lähde tai ihanne.

Lao Tsen ”Tao Te Ching” on kiinalaisen filosofian klassikko. Paras tapa ymmärtää syvällisesti tätä teosta on tulla Kiinaan ja osallistua kokopäiväiselle kiinan kielen kurssille. Parhaana maana oppia kiinaa Kiina ei ainoastaan ​​tarjoa korkealaatuisia kielikursseja, vaan antaa myös mahdollisuuden kokea perinteisiä kulttuuriaktiviteetteja, kuten kiinalaisia ​​festivaaleja, omin silmin.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

At Keats, I have a lot of opportunities to practice what I have learned. I really like this school, because I can learn Chinese in one-on-one style, so I think this is the best immersion program in China and my teacher is the best teacher. I feel that without my teacher, my Chinese will definitely not improve so much. I’m very happy because, at Keats, I have improved my Chinese significantly.

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.

I’ve been at Keats school and Kunming now for one month doing the one-on-one Chinese lessons with two different teachers. I really enjoy it. Both of my teachers are very friendly and patient. They really helped me to improve my Chinese, both of my reading and speaking. I really enjoy studying Chinese in Kunming as well. This city is really beautiful and the weather is nice, the air is clean. It’s one of the best cities in China to study Chinese.

My name is Sarah Fish. I am 81. I knew very little Chinese when I arrived. How was I going to survive 2 weeks of intensive Chinese course? I have to laugh when I think of that now. What a positive experience this has been! I really wish we could be here a little longer. The teachers are extremely encouraging, evaluating first how much someone knows, and then starting from there.
