(City, 10th) The Jide Care Association’s "Cultural Learning Academy," held every Thursday evening at Honghua School, will continue its lectures in August. This session’s curriculum continues to arrange for participants to take part in sharing activities, enhancing interaction and learning among students.
This academy session focuses mainly on general cultural knowledge, introducing the flourishing development of thought during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, which ushered in an era where a hundred philosophical schools contended and thrived. Different schools of thought, such as Confucianism, Daoism, Legalism, Mohism, military strategists, Logicians, Yin-Yang school, and others, all emerged, pushing Chinese intellectual civilization to new heights.

The lecturer also gave a brief introduction to the course of Chinese history through interesting picture presentations, especially highlighting the evolution of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Using the form of military maps, participants were guided to understand historical events such as King Wu's campaign against King Zhou, the Duke of Zhou’s eastern expedition, the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn period, the Seven Warring States, and the rise and unification by the state of Qin.
