Seorang Filsuf Legendaris Lǎo Zǐ (sekitar 580-470 SM)

Nama keluarga Lao Zi adalah Li dan nama pemberiannya adalah Er. Lao Zi adalah gelar kehormatan. Secara luas diakui bahwa Lao Zi adalah salah satu filsuf yang paling dihormati dalam sejarah Tiongkok. Ada banyak legenda tentang kelahirannya, kariernya, ajarannya, dan gagasan filosofisnya.

Menurut salah satu legenda populer, Lao Zi dikandung ketika ibunya melihat bintang jatuh ke pangkuannya dan ia tetap berada di dalam rahim selama 80 tahun. Ketika ia lahir, ia sudah dewasa dengan janggut abu-abu dan cuping telinga panjang, simbol keberuntungan dan umur panjang.

Ia pernah menyimpan arsip istana kerajaan untuk Dinasti Zhou (sekitar abad ke-11-256 SM). Tetapi kemudian ia mengundurkan diri dan pergi ke barat untuk menyebarkan ide dan filosofinya.

Suatu hari, saat menunggangi lembu, ia mendekati Gerbang Hangu dan dihentikan oleh Yinxi, seorang penjaga yang bertugas di gerbang tersebut. Sebagai pengikut setia filsafat Lao Zi, perwira itu segera mengenali sang guru besar. Namun, untuk meminta Lao Zi mengajarkan sebagian filsafatnya, perwira itu menuntut agar lelaki tua itu menunjukkan izin resmi untuk meninggalkan negara tersebut. Lao Zi tidak memiliki dokumen, jadi dia setuju untuk menulis esai sepanjang 5.000 kata tentang filsafatnya sebagai imbalan untuk perjalanan ke Barat. Esai itu ternyata adalah Daodejing (juga disebut “Tao Te Ching”), atau “Kitab Kebajikan” yang terkenal.

Saat ini, para cendekiawan di seluruh dunia masih memperdebatkan apakah buku tersebut benar-benar ditulis oleh Lao Zi atau disusun oleh murid-muridnya.

Namun, mereka semua sepakat bahwa buku tersebut mencerminkan pemikiran Lao Zi. Dalam buku tersebut, Lao Zi menggunakan konsep Dao (Tao) untuk menjelaskan semua perubahan di alam semesta. Dao, yang juga diterjemahkan sebagai “Jalan” atau “Integritas Agung,” dianggap sebagai sumber misterius atau cita-cita dari semua keberadaan.

“Tao Te Ching” karya Lao Tzu adalah karya klasik filsafat Tiongkok. Cara terbaik untuk memahami karya ini secara mendalam adalah dengan datang ke Tiongkok dan mengikuti kursus bahasa Mandarin penuh waktu. Sebagai negara terbaik untuk belajar bahasa Mandarin, Tiongkok tidak hanya menawarkan kursus bahasa berkualitas tinggi, tetapi juga memungkinkan Anda untuk mengalami langsung kegiatan budaya tradisional seperti Festival Tiongkok.

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.

Small Group Chinese Class

The place is very cool. I am with a great group of people in my class, so coming to classes is very enjoyable. It is fun, we have a lot of discussions, games, activities. Our teachers are also very good, very supportive. Learning Chinese is intimidating at the start because you have so many questions. But I would advise coming to Keats because the atmosphere for learning is great. It is very relaxing. I would recommend the school.

I come to Kunming because I think the environment in Kunming is better and I heard that Keats School is better. I like the small group Chinese class because my classmates study hard and our teachers are very good. I like the teaching method of Keats because I like the activities at Keats. I think Yunnan is a particularly beautiful Chinese province.

Small Group Chinese Class

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.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

Listening and speaking in the classroom every day has improved my communication skills. After three weeks, my new words and sentences became more and more natural and fluent. Now I am used to thinking in Chinese, and I understand better what other people say, to be able to have real conversations with other people.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

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.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

So during my first week at Keats, I didn’t dare to speak any Chinese words. I found out that my Chinese level quickly improved since then. Although I have many options to study in China, for example, some other schools have homestay, I found I could immerse myself and fully focus on learning Chinese by staying at Keats.
