Today we had IS throughout the day. In the morning we had Taoism and Buddhism. We learned how Taoism and Buddhism were established. The lecturer was the same person as yesterday. Today topic was interesting, because i like religion stuff, as religion stuff really makes you think beyond the limits.
After lunch, we had another IS lecture, it was about Traditional Chinese Wedding and Feng Shui. This topic was also interesting, as I get to know how the Chinese celebrate their wedding. Then at around 4 pm was Feng Shui lecture. Feng shui this topic really makes people wonder, because in Feng Shui, things that you won’t be expecting might affect your life, it really keeps you in mystery.
After lesson, we went for a earlier dinner and then went back to our dorm to do our IS summary.
REFLECTION
Today i gained the most information so far in Wuhan, i learned the history of Taoism, Buddhism and gained some knowledge on Feng Shui and Chinese wedding culture.
However i felt that the lecturer doesn’t really tell us what Taoism and Buddhism are really about. I can tell that his knowledge of Taoism and Buddhism is limited. Maybe he just want to briefly explain what Taoism and Buddhism are about...
Next was Chinese weddings i learned that auspicious dates are required for the Chinese wedding, the betrothal and the installation of the bridal bed. A Chinese monk, a temple official or a fortune teller are able to advise on a suitable date based on the couple's birth dates and times. Some may also refer to the Chinese calendar or almanac for good days. Usually, even numbered months and dates are preferred, and the lunar seventh month is avoided as it is the month of the Hungry Ghost Festival, haha.
Lastly was Feng Shui, I learned that Feng Shui is about the 5 elements, FIRE - PASSION AND HIGH ENERGY , EARTH - NOURISHMENT AND STABILITY, METAL - CLARITY AND PRECISENESS, WATER - EASE, FRESHNESS AND ABUNDANCE , WOOD - HEALTH AND VITALITY. I also learned the things placed in your bedroom may affect your luck and life. A slight repositioning of furniture will be sufficient , repositioning the bedroom art or decor items is good enough. If you make a big change in the positioning of your furniture, the Feng Shui will be changed.

Overall, the IS lecture really worth listening, as I get to know lots of new stuff…
