Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital Successfully Hosts 'Chaeum Lecture' with Artist Kim Youngsoo
Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital recently announced on the 10th that it held a Chaeum Lecture at the hospital's Yeomi Hall, inviting writer Kim Young-soo, an active expert on Chinese history and culture.
In this lecture, writer Kim spoke on the theme "Lead with Classical Chinese Idioms," sharing lessons and historical stories learned through advertisements of Korean airlines using classical idioms such as "Gukmusanggangmugangyak (國無常强 無常弱)" and "Saengjichukjisaengibulyu (生之畜之生而不有)."
Writer Kim emphasized, "Classical Chinese idioms encapsulate compression, implication, indirectness, rhetorical devices, and historical-cultural content."
He continued, "Studying classical idioms can develop summarizing skills, situational awareness, language proficiency, wisdom of circumvention, ability to harmonize contradictions and conflicts, relationship sustainability, and storytelling skills. It will also help in understanding China and fostering self-reflection."
Kim Young-soo currently serves as the chairman of the Korean Sima Qian Society and is also the first foreigner to be an official member of the Sima Qian Society in Hansheng City, Shaanxi Province, China.
He received the Minister of Science and Technology Award for "The History of Ancient Chinese Iron Smelting Technology Development" and the Gilchun History Award from the Shaanxi Literature Creation Research Association for "Sima Qian, Asking the Way of Humanity."
His publications include ▲History Study for Leaders ▲Sima Qian and Noblesse Oblige ▲The Hundred Schools of Thought Speak on Economics ▲I Learned Management from Records of the Grand Historian ▲Winning Every Battle: Management Strategies and Tactics ▲The Emperor’s People ▲100 Questions and Answers on Records of the Grand Historian, among others.
