The Mr. Simon Suen and Mrs. Mary Suen Sino-Humanitas Institute of HKBU is committed to promoting and developing the studies of Chinese humanities, as well as promoting sinological research and traditional Chinese culture to the Hong Kong society. This March, our Institute organized the Lecture Series on Chinese Literary Genres & Techniques on campus and provided professional knowledge on Chinese literature to nearly 400 online and offline audience – HKBU students, local secondary school students, and those in Hong Kong and Mainland China who are interested in the topic.
Details of the four lectures are as follows:
1st Lecture: 文體批評視野下的唐詩欣賞
Date: 7 March 2023, Tuesday
Time: 16:30-18:00
Venue: Room 706, 7/F, Academic and Administration Building, Hong Kong Baptist University (AAB706)
Speaker: Dr. Tong Tsz Ben Benson, Assistant Professor, School of Arts and Social Sciences, Hong Kong Metropolitan University
Abstract: 唐詩的欣賞，一般偏重於在傳統「知人論世」的批評視野下進行，即從作者的生平經歷及其所處的時代背景切入詩歌文本，藉以進行思想內容上的解讀。事實上，唐詩的欣賞也可聯繫文體來理解。是次講座將深入淺出地舉例說明不同詩歌體式的賞析方法與鑒賞標準，引導聽眾品味唐詩的藝術美。
2nd Lecture: 散文的肌理：以《流雲抄》為中心
Date: 13 March 2023, Monday
Time: 16:30-18:00
Venue: Room 105, 1/F, Communication and Visual Arts Building, Hong Kong Baptist University (CVA105)
Speakers: Dr. Ho Tsz-hing and Dr. Lee Yat-hong, Instructors of Chinese Language Centre, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

3rd Lecture: 記憶．隱喻：文學的空間書寫
Date: 20 March 2023, Monday
Time: 16:30-18:00
Venue: Room 105, 1/F, Communication and Visual Arts Building, Hong Kong Baptist University (CVA105)
Speaker: Dr. Lam Chuen-pan, Instructor of Chinese Language Centre, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Abstract:
隨著小說敘事學的發展，敘事視角、敘事時間最先獲得關注，近年來有關空間的討論亦愈來愈多。在文學世界中，空間書寫不只是用文字描述、再現現實的物理空間，更可能是在空間之上寄託個人／集體的記憶，乃至將空間變成隱喻。是次講座將以不同的文學作品為例，引導聽眾跳脫物理空間，探索文學書寫中記憶的、隱喻的空間及其意義。
4th Lecture: 憂國傷時的歷史重量——從「用典」角度解讀辛棄疾《南鄉子．登京口北固亭有懷》
Date: 27 March 2023, Monday
Time: 16:30-18:00 Venue: Room 105, 1/F, Communication and Visual Arts Building, Hong Kong Baptist University (CVA105)
Speaker: Mr. Yiu To Sang, Chinese Teacher of Hoi Ping Chamber of Commerce Secondary School
Abstract:
「用典」是古典文學常用的一種修辭手法，特別在篇幅短小的詩詞裏，詩人詞人用得更多，例如宋代大詞人辛棄疾（1140－1207）就有「掉書袋」的外號。因此就選了他的《南鄉子．登京口北固亭有懷》為是次講座主題。
「用典」一般與人以「深奧難明」的印象，但「用典」其實也一樣可以舉重若輕，辛棄疾此詞就是一例。此詞是現行香港中學文憑試中國文學科的指定課文，修讀本科的同學應該不會陌生，以此詞為講題，相信中學生聽起來也較容易投入，而大學生也可以無溫故知新。
講者希望藉着是次演講與聽眾一起看看「用典」的一些特點，例如「用典」的定義、目的，以及通過「典故」的解讀來欣賞辛棄疾這首名篇。
The speaker has authorized the Institute to record the 4th lecture and make the video available on the HKBU Library website: https://hkbutube.lib.hkbu.edu.hk/st/display.php?bibno=st1090
