Joint Elective Course:
The Intersection of Humanities and Sciences, Exploring the Wisdom of Daoism
The elective course on Daoist culture jointly offered by Mr. Wang Wei and Mr. Xie Bo is a pioneering initiative at Hongrun Boyuan. One is deeply involved in the humanities, and the other in the sciences. The cross-disciplinary collaboration of the two teachers makes the abstract Daoist thought tangible and understandable.
"The thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi are inherently integrated. We hope to convey the root wisdom of Chinese culture through different approaches," Mr. Wang Wei and Mr. Xie Bo both chose to "transform the abstract into the concrete," using real-life examples such as driving and basketball to allow students to first experience, then understand, and finally reflect. "Education has a lag. What we do now is to plant the seeds of culture in students. Perhaps they only understand a little now, but in the future, when they encounter difficulties and need guidance, these seeds will take root and grow, becoming their confidence to understand the world and solve problems."
