Glocalisation Series：The use of Change – Interpretation on the Hexagrams Xi Kan (習坎) and Li (離) [2]

A few years ago, the BBA Alumni Association of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) organised five lectures on Hexagrams / Yijing (易經)  under the theme of “Chinese Traditional Scholarship”, focusing on new interpretations of the Hexagram sequence. Between 2020 and 2022, 14 lectures have been organised under the “Glocalization Series”, which examined on the global dissemination and interpretation of the Yijing, with a view to reflecting on the globalisation of the world through the Yijing’s global footprints.  The Series was co-organised with the Department of Literature and Culture of the Hong Kong Education University.

This year, we are honoured to co-organise the seminar with Hok Hoi Library and invite Mr Raymond Lo Wai Shing, a researcher in Yijing, to be the speaker. Mr Lo is the President of the our association and also one of the directors of the Hok Hoi Library.  He is a businessman by profession, and in terms of service, he has been a member of a think-tank, the chairman of a business association, and a part-time lecturer at a QS100 university in HKSAR.

In recent years, he has become more concerned about education and culture, and is currently a member of the Advisory Board of the Master of Arts in Chinese programme of Hang Seng University, and a member of the Advisory Board of the Department of Chinese Language and Culture of the Lingnan University. With a BBA (International Business) and MSc (Global Business) from the Chinese University of Hong Kong , Mr. Lo has studied Yijing for over two decades, and believes that it has inspired him in the areas of politics, economics, management, and public policy, and he would like to systematise the role of the Yijing.

Again, we have specially invited Professor Tze-ki Hon to be the commentator and discuss with the speaker. Professor Hon is a renowned sinologist, historian and Yijing scholar. He is currently the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College in Zhuhai.

In the first talk, we divined for the performance of Hong Kong economy in the second half of this Year of Dragon. Further interpretation on the results will be made to showcase Yijing as a “study of life”.
