SUMMARY:How to Entertain: A Confucian Guide to Being the Host or Guest
DESCRIPTION:How to Entertain: A Confucian Guide to Being the Host or Guest – Lecture for SACU \nThe essence of propriety is to “be humble and respect others\,” according to the Chinese classic on ritual. This dual sentiment is manifestly lived out in the interaction between host and guest\, which can range from a casual visit to a friend to meeting parents-in-law for the first time. Through various situations\, we examine how Confucian thought esteems adaptability to the context in these complementary roles. \nThis lecture is one of a series: \nA Practical Guide for Every Day – The Art of Living from The Confucian Tradition \nSeries two – Making Friends and Entertaining (Series two\, May – July 2025) \nLecture 6. How to Entertain: A Confucian Guide to Being the Host or Guest (17 July 2025) \nConfucius lived over 2000 years ago\, yet his influence remains very strong in China. During the Han dynasty\, ‘Confucianism’ was adopted as the underlying ideology for imperial rule and family order. Throughout China’s history\, Confucianism has been challenged\, reinterpreted\, and appropriated. From the 20th century\, after a period of disfavour\, politicians and educationalists in China are once again turning to Confucianism for guidance. \nThis event is free but registration is required. Please book on Eventbrite here. \nTo understand what Confucianism is\, SACU is pleased that experts Dr Katherine Ngo and Dr Kelly Ngo\, from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David\, will be running a series of seminars for us in 2025\, our 60th year. \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Dr Katherine Ngo\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Dr Kelly Ngo\n				\n		\n\n  \nThis event is free but registration is required. Please book on Eventbrite here. \nFull Programme of the Seminar Series here \nThe seminar series will run monthly on the third Thursday of each month at 7.00-8.00pm UK time (with a month’s break between each series). Just before each seminar\, a Zoom meeting link will be sent to those that have registered via Eventbrite. \nThese seminars are open at all.

SUMMARY:How to work together: A Confucian guide to workplace relations
DESCRIPTION:We may spend more time during the day and most days of the week with colleagues than family members\, which makes work relations vital to realising the good life. In early Confucian thought\, the shared goal of mutual personal growth for both leader and subordinate was to ensure a thriving community. We bring to light how the seemingly hierarchical work setting accommodated a dynamic nature to the relationship – drawing on Confucius and other exemplars who creatively engaged with others even in difficult situations. \n \nConfucius lived over 2000 years ago\, yet his influence remains very strong in China. During the Han dynasty\, ‘Confucianism’ was adopted as the underlying ideology for imperial rule and family order. Throughout China’s history\, Confucianism has been challenged\, reinterpreted\, and appropriated. From the 20th century\, after a period of disfavour\, politicians and educationalists in China are once again turning to Confucianism for guidance. \nIn order to understand what Confucianism is\, SACU is pleased that experts Dr Katherine Ngo and Dr Kelly Ngo\, from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David\, will be running a series of seminars for us in 2025\, our 60th year. \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Dr Katherine Ngo\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Dr Kelly Ngo\n				\n		\n\nThis is Lecture 7 in Series 3 ‘In the world of work and study’. \nEach lecture will be approximately 45 minutes followed by 15 minutes for discussion.  Participants will be encouraged to ask questions using the Zoom chat function so that the speakers can respond to as many points as possible. \nRegistration on Eventbrite is required here \nJust before each seminar\, a Zoom meeting link will be sent to those that have registered via Eventbrite. \nThis seminar series is free and open to all. We invite attendees to join SACU here \n

SUMMARY:How to lead: A Confucian guide to wise leadership
DESCRIPTION:Leadership has never been easy – even over two thousand years ago in ancient China. Confucius and those who followed in his footsteps travelled to various states to offer ideas on better leadership for all levels of government. They argued that wise leadership is not a skill developed in isolation\, but rather the culmination of an embodied virtuosity in interactions. For example\, the exemplary Shun developed within a dysfunctional family\, influencing his closest family members as well as his community and state. \n \n\nConfucius lived over 2000 years ago\, yet his influence remains very strong in China. During the Han dynasty\, ‘Confucianism’ was adopted as the underlying ideology for imperial rule and family order. Throughout China’s history\, Confucianism has been challenged\, reinterpreted\, and appropriated. From the 20th century\, after a period of disfavour\, politicians and educationalists in China are once again turning to Confucianism for guidance. \nIn order to understand what Confucianism is\, SACU is pleased that experts Dr Katherine Ngo and Dr Kelly Ngo\, from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David\, will be running a series of seminars for us in 2025\, our 60th year. \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Dr Katherine Ngo\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Dr Kelly Ngo\n				\n		\n\nThis is Lecture 8 in Series 3 ‘In the world of work and study’.  \nEach lecture will be approximately 45 minutes followed by 15 minutes for discussion.  Participants will be encouraged to ask questions using the Zoom chat function so that the speakers can respond to as many points as possible. \nRegistration on Eventbrite is required here \nJust before each seminar\, a Zoom meeting link will be sent to those that have registered via Eventbrite. \nThis seminar series is free and open to all.
