Please join Professor Sun in a fun and interactive exploration of a key mode of discourse in classical Chinese texts. Some famous but still not sufficiently understood passages from the Analects and Zhuangzi, as well as selected classical poems, will be discussed. You might just find something intellectually stimulating from these texts and even gain new insights in the way native Chinese speak today.
