An Innovative and Contemporary Public Health Forum on Tao Te Ching

2011-09-16
 
A group of traditional culture lovers have been studying the Chinese classic text Tao Te Ching every Wednesday night since May 11 in a house on Chenjiang Road, Chenzhou City.
  
The group usually practices the Chinese martial art Tai Chi Chuan for a while. Then, the lecturer gives a one-hour explanation of one chapter of Tao Te Ching, followed by a half-hour discussion among the learners.
  
Since the initiation of this activity, 6 main lecturers including Professor Wang Pengling from Xiangnan University and 30 other lecturers have stepped on the platform. They combined classic culture with traditional health preservation in their speeches, providing mental nourishment and enriching cultural life of the people.
  
Wang Pengling said that compared with similar public forums in other cities, this can be regarded as a very successful one.
