Translating Chinese Literature and the Innovation of Knowledge: James Legge's Chinese Classics
| Date: | 2019/2/23 (Saturday) |
| Time: | 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. |
| Venue: | City Hall Public Library (Extension Activities Room) |
| Description: | How does the translation of classical Chinese literature enable us to innovate knowledge, inspiring us to reconsider and rejuvenate what we think we already know? This lecture will discuss the innovation of knowledge in the sinologist-translator James Legge's (1815–1897) Chinese Classics. We will explore various examples in Legge's translation of the Confucian Analects, Great Learning, Doctrine of the Mean, Mencius, and Book of Historical Documents. In doing so, we will see how Legge develops in-depth dialogue between the Chinese and Western traditions in his translation, and how he invites us to renew many concepts that are relevant to our daily practices and intellectual growth through such cross-cultural dialogue, such as the concepts of virtue, principle, human nature, religion, philosophy, and universal love. |
Tin Hau Festival and Local Communities
Other Talks / Workshops /Local History and Culture /Subject Talk Series on Hong Kong Memory (2018/19)
| Date: | 2019/1/26 (Saturday) |
| Time: | 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. |
| Venue: | Lai Chi Kok Public Library (Extension Activities Room) |
| Description: | Tin Hau is a popular goddess in the coastal regions of South China. Originally named Lin Mo, Tin Hau is called "Maniang" in Hong Kong and neighbouring regions. Every year, on the 23rd day of the third lunar month, followers celebrate Tin Hau's birthday by lighting incense at Tin Hau Temples and paying tribute to the goddess for her protection. Local organisations will organise Cantonese opera performances and "fa pau" exchange ceremonies (paper floral tributes), and parades will be held in some places. While a great deal of manpower and other resources are required for the planning of a Tin Hau festivity, it is a vital juncture for social cohesion. In this talk, activities of the Tin Hau Festival and its correlation with local communities will be explored. |
