A Comparison of the Conceptual Elements of the Speech Verb “jiang” in Chinese and Its French Corresponding Words

Jian Dong, YU XIAO — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Both Chinese and French verbs of speech are high-frequency words, which are essential and important verbs in people's communication. At present, the comparison between Chinese and foreign speech verbs is mainly focused on Chinese-English comparison, mostly from the grammatical point of view. A comparative analysis of the characteristics and application differences of speech verbs in terms of conceptual elements and valence patterns can not only enrich the research path of speech verbs from a cross-linguistic perspective, but also provide theoretical support and practical ideas for applying the comparison between the two to the teaching of French and Chinese.

Chao Han, PONGDEJ CHAIYAKUT, PORADEE PANTHUPAKORN — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Confucius's benevolence not only occupies an important position in ancient ethics, but also has far-reaching significance for the moral practice of modern society. This study explores the integration of Confucian "benevolence" philosophy and installation art, and then creates an art installation that can convey Confucius' benevolence and promote its positive impact on modern society.

The installation work design creates a quiet space with a three-layer gauze curtain structure. Through the interweaving of light and shadow and the quiet atmosphere, it guides the audience into a state of meditation and introspection. The three reflective questions raised in the work: "Do you care about others?", "Do you restrain yourself and abide by legal ethics?", "Do you forgive others?". It not only promotes personal reflection on the core values of benevolence, but also calls on modern society to maintain the virtues of caring for others, abiding by social norms and forgiving others in a fast-paced life.

The combination of Confucius' benevolence and installation art not only expands the form and depth of cultural experience, but also provides a new method for the inheritance and innovation of Confucius' thoughts in modern society.

Visual verbs are an essential component of verbs. The verb "kan" has a wide range of meanings in both Chinese and Thai, with the basic meaning being "to bring the sight into contact with a person or object" and various derived meanings in contemporary Chinese and Thai. The basic meanings of the word "kan" in Chinese and Thai are very similar, and many of its derived meanings are the same or similar, while some derived meanings also have some differences. By analysing the basic and derived meanings of the word "kan" in both languages and comparing the similarities and differences of the conceptual elements in each meaning, we find that these basic meanings are very similar. Additionally, several of the derived meanings differ.

Construction of "UbD" Homework Optimization Model Based on SOLO Classification Evaluation Theory

huang zheng, BIN HUANG — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This paper delves into the construction of an optimized model for “UbD” assignments based on the SOLO classification assessment theory. The study first analyzes the appropriateness of the SOLO classification assessment theory in “UbD” assignment design, pointing out that it not only fits well with the teaching needs of the language subject but also aligns with the trend of deep learning, providing theoretical support for improving assignment quality. At the practical level, the theory emphasizes starting with the end in mind, progressing through graded pathways, and maintaining a consistent assessment orientation, ensuring the scientific and effective design of assignments. A “UbD” assignment optimization model based on the SOLO classification assessment theory is constructed, including assignment structure framework, specific processes, and reflection steps. In terms of assignment structure framework, hierarchical goal setting, rich assessment evidence, and progressive learning experiences are utilized to achieve the hierarchical, systematic, and coherent nature of assignments. In the detailed processes, aspects such as goal-setting, task design, implementation, and assessment feedback are elaborated to provide guidance for practical implementation. The reflection steps underscore the importance of regularly evaluating and reflecting on the effectiveness of assignment design to promote continuous improvement. This study not only enriches the theoretical content of “UbD” assignment design but also offers operational assignment optimization models for frontline educators. Implementing this model can help enhance students' thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and self-directed learning capabilities, thereby advancing the overall quality of language subject teaching.

A Survey of International Students in Chinese Universities in the Perspective of Their Use of and Demands on Foreign-Oriented Chinese Learning Dictionaries

LIU JIANING, LI SHICHUN — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

A foreign-oriented Chinese learning dictionary is a dictionary written specifically for learners whose native language is not Chinese, also called an outward-looking Chinese dictionary. The corresponding inward-oriented Chinese dictionaries are written for learners whose native language is Chinese. Therefore, in the process of compiling a foreign-oriented Chinese learning dictionary, we should take into account their cognitive rules, try to meet the needs of non-native speakers of Chinese, and avoid providing dictionary information based only on the subjective judgment of the editor. In this paper, we conducted a questionnaire survey on international students in China in order to find out more comprehensively the basic usage and related needs of international students as a foreign-oriented Chinese learning dictionary．

Luo Hongwei , Chou I-Wen — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between Learning Burnout and Internal and External Learning Motivation. Specifically, it will examine the relationship between Learning Burnout and Learning Motivation among Chinese College and University students in Thailand and confirm the impact of both Internal and External Learning Motivation on Learning Burnout. Data from two representative Chinese college students at Thai institutions was gathered for this study using the intention sample approach and online surveys; 240 valid questionnaires were obtained. The findings of this study, which was statistically examined using SPSS26.0, were as follows: (1) Learning Motivation positively affects Learning Burnout; (2) Among Chinese college students at Thai universities, Internal Motivation significantly inversely correlates with Learning Burnout; (3) Among Chinese college students at Thai universities, there is a strong negative correlation between External Motivation and Learning Burnout; (4) Internal Motivation has a greater effect on Learning Burnout than External Motivation (Beta=-0.262, p<0.05). External Motivation is less important than Learning Burnout (Beta=-0.262, p<0.05).
This study has significant implications for raising educational standards and Learning effectiveness in addition to offering theoretical justification for the practice of teaching Chinese. The study's findings can serve as a guide for the creation of relevant educational regulations and assist teachers in better managing students through Learning Motivation, which will lessen Burnout that arises during the Chinese language Learning process.

A Study on the Errors of Thai High School Students in Using the Chinese “X Bi Y Z” Sentence

natasa tangchaiwanna — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study investigates the errors made by Thai high school students in Chinese "X比YZ" sentences. A survey of 127 students from 10 schools in Thailand identified five main error types: substitution, word order mistakes, omission, addition, and improper collocation. The most common error was omission, especially with the particles "的" and "得." The second most common was word order mistakes, particularly with "more/less/early/late" +verbs. These errors are mainly due to negative transfer from the native language, overgeneralization of target language rules, the complexity of "X比YZ" sentences, and inappropriate communication strategies. To reduce these errors, the study suggests targeted teaching strategies, addressing issues like native language interference, overgeneralization, sentence complexity, and communication strategies.

The Impact of Chinese Loanwords in Thai on Thai Student's Acquisition of Chinese and Strategies for Improvement

PORNKARAN SANKLA, NATAWASSAYA KEERATIPOTIWONG — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Since ancient times, Thailand and China have had certain trade relations, and this economic exchange has facilitated the expansion of vocabulary between Chinese and Thai. Therefore, it can be said that the application of Chinese loanwords in Thai originated from three aspects: economic trade, immigration, and cultural interaction. With the increasing frequency of economic and cultural exchanges between Thailand and China in recent years, more and more Thai students are choosing to study in China. During their studies, they can discover many Chinese loanwords in Thai, which helps Thai students by providing some convenience in learning Chinese. The use of loanwords has created some mutual understanding between the two different language systems. On one hand, it helps Thai students better trace the origins of language and cultural exchanges between the two countries, and understand the factors influencing language changes, thereby gaining a better understanding of the sources and methods of loanword usage. On the other hand, studying this topic can further deepen the understanding of the scope of loanword vocabulary between China and Thailand, effectively expanding Thai students' Chinese vocabulary and improving their mastery of Chinese. This includes correctly understanding the contemporary meanings of Chinese loanwords, as well as understanding the differences between Mandarin phonetics and dialects.

The Inaccurate Use of Transliteration in the Language Landscape of Bangkok's City Center and Its Solutions

PREECHYA CHOONGERN — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This paper fully acknowledges transliteration as one of the fundamental translation methods while providing an in-depth analysis of its current usage in the linguistic landscape. Particularly focusing on non-standard translation phenomena in the center of Bangkok. Transliteration is a method that converts foreign words into the target language based on pronunciation. It is widely applied in multilingual environments, such as public signs, commercial advertisements, and cultural exchange venues. Although transliteration plays a significant role in cross-cultural communication, its practical application in Bangkok's linguistic landscape often exhibits deviations. This can be attributed to factors such as linguistic differences, varying cultural perceptions, and inconsistent translation standards. To gain a comprehensive understanding of transliteration usage in the center of Bangkok, a field study was conducted. This study included field investigations and systematically summarized the specific manifestations of non-standard transliteration in both official and unofficial linguistic landscapes. The research found significant differences between official and unofficial signs in terms of transliteration accuracy, standardization, and cultural adaptability. For instance, some official institutions and store signs exhibit non-standard transliteration practices, failing to adhere to established transliteration norms. Specific issues include not referencing dictionary standards or the Thai Prime Minister's Office guidelines for Chinese and Hindi transliteration, neglecting phonetic adaptation (such as vowel matching, syllable structure adaptation, tone alignment, and long/short vowel correspondence), disregarding equivalence principles in transliteration, and deviating from linguistic and cultural connotations. As a result, the pronunciation of transliterated foreign words often significantly differs from the original Thai, leading to inaccurate meaning conveyance or even misunderstandings. Furthermore, transliteration in unofficial signs tends to be more arbitrary and lacks consistency, often failing to consider key transliteration principles. This phenomenon, to some extent, increases the cultural adaptation challenges for tourists or foreigners in Bangkok.

A Study on the Organization of the Chinese for Airline Business Course in Thai Higher Education

DONGDONG QIN, KANOKPORN NUMTONG — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research aimed to provide an overview of the current state of Chinese for airline business courses in Thai Higher Education based on the TQF.2 in the CHECO website and to analyze the organization of these courses in order to suggest approaches that align with outcome-based education. It utilized Bloom's Taxonomy and the concept of “Chinese + Vocational Skills.” The findings revealed that: 1) Out of 120 programs related to airline business and Chinese language, 58 programs included “Chinese” + “airline business,” representing 48% of the total programs. This indicated that Thai higher education institutions have started to prioritize producing graduates with Chinese for airline business. 2) A 3(2-2-5) format for this course would enable students to gain the most practical experience possible. 3) In some programs, this course did not specify prerequisite courses, which could make it difficult for students without a Chinese language foundation to take the course. 4) The number of hours for this course varied across different programs. 5) In order to ensure that all students achieve the intended cognitive domain, the content and objectives of this course could be based on standards of vocational skills from both Thailand and China and designed in accordance with Bloom's Taxonomy. Instructors could also assess outcomes based on cognitive domain. Therefore, this kind of organization of Chinese for airline business aligns with outcome-based education and fits with the concept of “Chinese + Vocational Skills.”

A study of the meaning and intention of using Numbers in Chinese idioms

SARUTA UCHAI, CHALIDA JANDEEBUT, CHAYAPORN CHAOSIRIKUL — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This research aims to examine the intention behind the use of numbers that appear in Chinese idioms and to study the meanings of numbers within idioms that contain numerical elements. The study focuses specifically on four-syllable idioms that include the numbers “一至九” (one to nine), “十” (ten), “百” (hundred), “千” (thousand), and “万” (ten thousand), selected from the Xinhua Idiom Dictionary, 2nd edition (2001), totaling 162 idioms. These idioms are analyzed in relation to the meanings of numbers in the Chinese language.

The research findings reveal that numbers in Chinese idioms do not merely indicate quantity, but also reflect cultural ideologies and the values of Chinese society. The number that appears most frequently is “一” (one), found in 77 idioms, representing unity and significance. The second most frequent number is “三” (three), found in 16 idioms, which is associated with balance and perfection. Other numbers such as “四” (four), “五” (five), “八” (eight), and “九” (nine) appear in 3–4 idioms. Meanwhile, the numbers “十” (ten), “百” (hundred), “千” (thousand), and “万” (ten thousand) appear in 10–16 idioms and are often used to express quantitative meanings or comparisons.

In terms of communicative intention, the most frequent intention found is appreciation, appearing in 58 idioms. This is followed by the intention to express opinions, found in 50 idioms. The intentions to criticize and to warn appear in 38 and 18 idioms, respectively. The number “一” appears across all types of communicative intention, reflecting its cultural and linguistic significance.

The findings of this research indicate that the use of numbers in Chinese idioms is not only a linguistic component but also a reflection of the cultural values and ideologies of Chinese society. Each number carries a specific meaning that influences communication and interpretation across various contexts. This study helps enhance understanding of the intentions and implicit meanings within Chinese idioms that contain numbers and can be applied to the teaching of Chinese language and effective communication.

A Study of Chinese Idioms Containing the Word "Yellow"(huáng) : Functions, Meanings and Usage

SUNTAREE SRIVANTANEEYAKUL , DARUNEE BUNKRONG — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The research on Chinese idioms containing the word yellow (huáng): Functions, meanings and usage patterns aims to study the function and meaning of the word (huáng) in Chinese idioms, as well as to examine the patterns of its usage. The researcher has compiled a list of 147 idioms containing the word (huáng) from three databases: 1) Xiandai Hanyu Cidian, 2) Chengyu Da Cidian, and 3) the website www.cidianwang.com. The study reveals that the word (huáng) functions most frequently as an attribute, followed by its roles as an object, predicate, and subject, respectively. The function of (huáng) in Chinese idioms significantly affects its meaning. When (huáng) functions as an attribute, it describes the color tone of people, animals, objects, and nature, often carrying additional connotations such as decay, age, or being outdated. When used as an object or subject, (huáng) can represent things that are not color-related, such as dogs, horses, gold, names of Chinese herbs, minerals, virtues, and noble classes. As a predicate, (huáng) expresses changes in time or seasons. The meanings associated with (huáng) can be grouped into nine categories: 1) age, decay, or poverty; 2) time, period, or season; 3) family name; 4) the Yellow River; 5) goodness, virtue; 6) components of specific names with yellow; 7) gold; 8) elderly people or children; and 9) meanings related to emperors or the imperial court. The study also finds that idioms containing the word (huáng) are most commonly used neutrally, followed by negative, and then positive usage.

Wang Dagong, Kanokporn Numtong, Siriwan Likhidcharoentham — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Since its introduction to the academic community in China in 1995, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has undergone initial developmental stages and has been widely accepted over the past 30 years. An increasing number of Chinese scholars have begun to apply the principles and methods of CDA to explore the role of discourse in Chinese social life. Against this backdrop, this study selects 32 core articles from the CSSCI and Peking University Core journals in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database for the year 2024, focusing on chinese CDA research. The research findings are divided into two parts: theoretical research and practical research. Theoretical research explores the relationship between language and reality, as well as studies on CDA based on cognitive linguistics and psychological frameworks. The practical research examines CDA applications in politics and media, economy and energy, culture and literature, education and related fields, and socio-cultural aspects. This study concludes that the research themes of CDA in 2024 exhibit diversity and interdisciplinarity. The research methods mainly include the social cognitive approach, multimodal discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, metaphor analysis, three-dimensional discourse analysis, proximization theory, and others. Future research recommendations include exploring how to uncover the deep-seated structures and ideologies of discourse through large-scale corpus analysis, while also placing greater emphasis on cross-cultural discourse analysis within the context of globalization. This involves investigating how discursive practices interact and influence each other across diverse cultural, linguistic, and social contexts.

THE BIBLIOMETRIC QUANTITATIVE STATISTICS AND ANALYSIS OF MADHYAMIKA IN MAHAYANA BUDDHISM THOUGHTS

wang yang, Minxin Li — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The Nāgārjuna’s Mādhyamika (Nagarjuna’s Middle Way) is one of the principal schools of Mahayana Buddhism in India. The foundational framework of Mādhyamaka theory was established by Nāgārjuna and his disciple Āryadeva during the 2nd and 3rd centuries CE. Revered as the "Second Buddha" in Indian Buddhist history, Nāgārjuna and the Mādhyamaka school flourished between 150 and 250 CE. As a philosophical system, Mādhyamaka represents a seminal anti-essentialist tradition. While it systematically denies the inherent and independent existence of self-nature (svabhāva), it acknowledges the conventional reality of dependent origination (pratītyasamutpāda) and cyclic existence (saṃsāra) – a nuanced perspective that often challenges conventional understanding.This study adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing bibliometric methods to conduct statistical and analytical research on articles related to 'Mahayana Madhyamaka' from the CNKI database. By analyzing term frequency and reviewing previous scholarly interpretations, the research explores the developmental trajectory of Madhyamaka thought, its impact on modern society, and its contemporary significance

THE QUANTIFICATION OF CHINESE METAPHOR --"MODERN CHINESE DICTIONARY SEVENTH EDITION" AS THE RESEARCH OBJECT

wang yang, Sittichok Jalernkij, Shouquan Wang — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Metaphor is an important rhetorical means to enhance the expressive effect of language art, and it is a rhetorical expression method that every language in the world has. Jonathan Culler (2018) believes that "metaphor is a basic way of cognition, and we know it by seeing one thing as another thing." Metaphor can describe people or things more vividly, make profound truths simple, and concretize abstract concepts, becoming an indispensable factor for communication and understanding between languages.

First, this article exhaustively sorts out more than 69,000 Chinese words in the "Modern Chinese Dictionary" (7th edition) (2019) according to the classification standards of metaphor vocabulary, and finds that there are a total of 853 disyllabic metaphors. Then, the research methods of material example explanation and literature data are adopted for the 853 disyllabic metaphors. The research framework of this article is constructed with theories such as word formation, cognitive linguistics, and the 853 disyllabic metaphors are strictly classified according to the division standards of pre-metaphor, post-metaphor, and full metaphor according to the analysis methods of lexicography and quantitative linguistics. The purpose is to explore the factors that affect the cognitive mechanism and development of Chinese based on the analysis results and the use of metaphors; to enhance learners' understanding and communication of Chinese culture, and to accurately use and master metaphors; and to better improve learners' appreciation of the rhetoric of metaphors in Chinese literary works.

Behavioral Traits of Elderly Chinese Tourists: Thai Tour Guides’ Perception

Wiraphong Panyathanakhun — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Chinese tourists are the largest group of international visitors to Thailand in 2024. They have also been the dominant group of international tourists for many consecutive years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, research on the behavior of Chinese tourists, particularly elderly tourists, remains limited. This study aims to explore the behavioral characteristics of elderly Chinese tourists through the perception of Thai tour guides. The research employs a qualitative approach using unstructured in-depth interviews. The primary informants are Thai tour guides who are licensed and provide tour services in the Chinese language, with a minimum of three years of experience. A total of 20 tour guides were selected using the snowball sampling technique. Data was analyzed using summative analysis.

The study findings reveal the habits and personality traits of elderly Chinese tourists, as well as their travel behaviors in Thailand, including dining, lodging, shopping, and participating in activities at tourist sites, as perceived by Thai tour guides. This research suggests that tourism business owners and operators should improve their products and services to align with the behaviors and preferences of this tourist group.

WU JIAN, POONYAPHA SINGPRATHAN — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

To better advance international Chinese education for Thai high school students, it is essential to investigate and analyze their Chinese learning needs. This study explores the changes in Thai high school students’ Chinese learning demands before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the successful strategies schools have adopted in response. Using Ratwittaya School in Mae Sot, Tak Province, Thailand as a case study, we conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with school administrators, local Chinese teachers, and high school students. The study found that: (1) students’ Chinese learning needs focus on teaching methods, social media, and studying abroad in China; (2) the school’s response strategies center on textbook selection, platform development, and in-school teacher training. It is recommended that the digital and intelligent transformation of international Chinese education at the Thai high school level be continuously promoted through five strategic dimensions: the construction of online Chinese teaching platforms, the development of localized teaching materials, the establishment of collaborative co-teaching mechanisms, the formulation of localized Chinese language curricula, and the integration of artificial intelligence. These initiatives aim to empower Chinese language educators to engage in personalized, ubiquitous, and interactive pedagogical practices.

Research on the distribution of the word "mǎn" in modern Chinese based on the corpus

MENGQI BO, HONGJUAN AI — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Character words are one of the important words to describe the characteristics or states of people and things. As a high frequency character word, "mǎn" has many meanings in different contexts. Due to the limited grasp of corpus in the Modern Chinese Dictionary, the division of common sense items is shallow and the sense items are omitted. Therefore, it is an important subject in lexicology and lexicography to reclassify and describe the meaning. This paper uses corpus technology to re-describe and classify the meaning of "mǎn" in modern Chinese in the form of case study, and holds that there are 2 missing meanings in the Modern Chinese Dictionary (7th Edition). Therefore, the combination of corpus technology and lexicography is a feasible way to enrich the meaning of common words, and can also provide a reference for the revision of dictionaries.

The Linguistic and Cultural Ties Between ASEAN Countries and China, Especially Guangxi

LIQUN DENG , RENMIN XIE — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Connected by mountains and rivers, ASEAN countries and China, especially Guangxi, have a multi-level relationship in history, and have a profound connection in ethnic, language, cultural customs and other aspects. The main ethnic group of Vietnam, the Jing nationality, was formed by the mixture of the Luoyue people living in Guangxi in ancient times and the immigrants from northern China. The main ethnic group of Thailand, the Tai nationality, has a homology relationship with the Zhuang nationality in Guangxi; the Shan nationality in Myanmar and the Lao Long nationality in Laos have a close relationship with the Zhuang nationality. Many ethnic minorities on the border between China and ASEAN have a distant or close relationship with the Zhuang nationality. In terms of language, the Thai language is close to the Zhuang people, with many basic vocabulary in common, and there are many loanwords from Chinese. The Vietnamese language was heavily influenced by the Chinese language, forming the Chinese-Vietnamese word in the Vietnamese language, which is similar to the pronunciation of the Yulin dialect in Guangxi Province, and the Vietnamese borrowed the Chinese character to create the word. Culturally, they belong to the Confucian cultural circle. Other island states such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and the Philippines have a long history of exchanges with China, forming a tribute relationship with China in ancient times, and frequent personnel exchanges, trade and cultural exchanges. In modern times, due to the invasion of Western colonialism, this relationship was forced to break off. In modern times, China and ASEAN countries supported each other in fighting against foreign invasion and striving for national independence. The large number of Chinese living in ASEAN countries has become a bridge between Chinese culture and ASEAN culture. Today, China and ASEAN have established a free trade area and carried out comprehensive exchanges in politics, economy, culture and education, showing an infinitely bright prospect.

Phonetic Loan Characters and Chinese Language Teaching

นริศ วศินานนท์, SUKANYA WASINANON — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

ABSTRACT

This article explains phonetic loan characters (假借字), one of the six categories of Chinese characters construction (六书) in ancient China. In reality, phonetic loan characters represent a way of using existing Chinese characters rather than a method of creating new ones. Although this category is no longer actively used, phonetic loan characters still exist in modern Chinese, and many of them are frequently used. The article discusses the definition and distinctive characteristics of phonetic loan characters, their various forms, and the relationships between their structure, pronunciation, and meaning in comparison with newly created characters. Additionally, it offers suggestions for teaching phonetic loan character and emphasizes that Chinese language instruction, particularly the teaching of Chinese characters, should not overlook the importance of providing knowledge about these characters. Instead, educators should focus on helping learners understand and make connections between the structure, pronunciation, and meaning of phonetic loan characters and those of newly created characters. This approach not only enhance learners’ ability to memorize Chinese characters more easily and efficiently, but also expands their vocabulary.

THE ANALYSIS OF “ LIN ” HEXAGRAM IN THE I CHING

BIN WANG , CHAWEEWAN WONGCHAROENKUL — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study focuses on an in-depth analysis of the 19th hexagram in the Book of Changes (I Ching), known as "Lin" (Approach). It systematically examines the hexagram’s structural composition, textual interpretation, and the evolution of its understanding across different historical periods. Specifically, the paper explores the insights this hexagram offers for both traditional governance and modern application scenarios. The structure of “earth above the marsh” is commonly interpreted as a model of governance in which the ruler influences the people through moral virtue. Meanwhile, the phrase “misfortune in the eighth month” serves as a warning for rulers to maintain a constant awareness of potential crises. Historically, the study outlines the shift in interpretive focus—from Han dynasty scholars emphasizing symbolic derivation, to Song and Ming Neo-Confucians exploring ethical implications. Notably, modern scholars have adopted new perspectives by applying the wisdom of this hexagram to fields such as management and education, and even drawing comparisons with Western philosophies. The findings suggest that this ancient symbol not only reflects traditional Chinese views on the relationship between Heaven and humanity, but also provides valuable insights for contemporary challenges in organizational governance and leadership development. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this paper aims to demonstrate the potential for transforming traditional philosophical resources within the context of modern society.
