====== About ======
We read various Chinese classic works together, either in English or Chinese, and through a pleasurable, free discussion, we enjoy sharing our different opinions and interpretations, often experiencing a meeting of minds. We all benefit from the inspiration and wisdom we find in traditional texts.

诵读千年经典,变化生命气质。已读经典包括《大学》,《中庸》,《道德经》,《千字文》。正在研读《论语》和《诗经》,计划研读《孟子》,《礼记》,《弟子规》,《传习录》,《易传》,《易经》(选)等。或有主讲人带读,同时结合自由提问和讨论,中西朋友聚集一堂,用中文和英文朗读和讨论中国传统经典。参照中西文化背景的异同,以及结合当下社会和生活现实。感受自由讨论的快乐,思维碰撞的喜悦,经典智慧对人生的启发,以及对生命成长的帮助。


===== Format of a reading session =====
Our reading session consists of two parts: [[http://baike.baidu.com/view/277336.htm|蒙学 Meng Xue (elementary study)]] for about 30mins) and 大学 (advanced study) for about 60 mins. Meng Xue, in ancient China, serves as children's first formal education, to learn either the Chinese characters, rhythms, or the basic requisites for being a good person and living in harmony with others. Meng Xue is the basis for understanding more advanced texts. In the Da Xue part, we read and discuss these texts from [[http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%BB%8F%E5%8F%B2%E5%AD%90%E9%9B%86|Jing 经 Shi 史 Zi 子 Ji 集]], such as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analects|The Analects]], etc.

We read and memorise the Meng Xue text in the first 30 minutes of a reading session. There will be brief explanation or discussion of the texts. For the rest 1 hour, we will focus on the reading of the Da Xue text, including the English translation, explanation of the texts and difficult words, and discussion of our own feelings and interpretations.
