The name of the Reading Club comes from the Analects: “The gentleman makes friends through learning, and through friends cultivates virtue.” Learning alone leads to narrow understanding, while diligent study combined with exchange leads to breadth and wisdom. The book club is held regularly, inviting distinguished scholars and professors to serve as hosts and guide students in reading classical works from China and beyond, such as The Analects, Zhuangzi, Records of the Grand Historian, The Book of Changes, and Antigone. By engaging with these masterpieces, students enter into a dialogue across time and space with the great minds of the past, cultivating a deep appreciation for classical texts and quality literature.

Here, whether you choose to read classical passages aloud, share your personal reflections, or engage in close textual analysis, you will surely gain new insights through thoughtful discussion with like-minded companions.
