(Bandar Seri Begawan, 10th) The Jide Care Association’s "Culture Classroom," held every Thursday evening at Chung Hwa School, will continue its sessions in August. This session’s course continues to arrange for students to participate in sharing activities, enhancing interaction and learning among attendees.
The main focus of this classroom was cultural knowledge, introducing the flourishing period of thought during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States eras, which ushered in an age of philosophical diversity and the contention of a hundred schools of thought. Different schools, such as Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism, Mohism, Militarism, Logicians, Yin-Yang School, etc., successively emerged and drove the brilliance of Chinese intellectual civilization.
In the topic "Shuowen Jiezi" (Explaining Simple and Analyzing Compound Characters), the lecturer gave a detailed explanation of the evolution from Oracle bone script and Bronze inscriptions to the Small Seal script, and explored the creation of the character for “road” (路) and the derivation of related characters, including 路 (road), 蹊 (path), 径 (trail), 途 (way), 道 (avenue), 歧 (fork), 岔 (branch), 康 (broad road), 庄 (manor), 街 (street), 巷 (alley), 弄 (lane), 阡 (field path), 陌 (field road), etc., explaining the cultural and historical backgrounds of different types of roads.
Through interesting pictorial flowcharts, the lecturer briefly introduced the course of Chinese history, focusing especially on the evolution of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Using a military march diagram, students were led to learn about King Wu’s campaign against Zhou, the Duke of Zhou’s eastward expedition, the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Seven Powers of the Warring States, and the rise and unification of the Qin state.
During the student interaction session, in addition to jointly reciting classical poetry, teacher Shen Zongxiang also provided a detailed analysis and introduction of "Guan Ju" from Book of Songs (Shijing·Zhou Nan). Teacher Xing Xiuzhu compared modern poet Yu Guangzhong’s “Nostalgia: Four Rhymes” with classical poetry, highlighting the mutual brilliance of ancient and contemporary verse.
Finally, in the scripture reading segment, the teachers explained the meaning and connotations of four passages from the Analects, further enriching students’ cultural knowledge.
