《道德經》是東方文化的代表，是中國哲學的主根。《道德經》可以引導人們深入思考自然、社會與人生，提昇其思想道德修養與為人處世之能力，對於推行人的素質教育有其深刻的意義。此外，隨著社會發展，人們在享受現代文明所帶來的便利與舒適時，卻同時不得不忍受背後的負面痛苦：環境污染、生態失衡、氣候惡化、精神空虛、道德淪喪等。希望從《道德經》中能找到解決人類面臨的各種問題與醫治人類身心不安的良方。透過經典之研讀、講解分析與討論，一方面了解老子之思想，一方面借助老子這面鏡子反思觀照我們的人生，期望尋得人生安身立命之道。The Tao Te Ching is the representative of Eastern culture and the main root of Chinese philosophy. "Tao Te Ching" can guide people to think deeply about nature, society and life, improve their ideological and moral cultivation and their ability to deal with the world, and has profound significance for the promotion of people's quality education. In addition, with the development of society, while people enjoy the convenience and comfort brought by modern civilization, they have to endure the negative pain behind it: environmental pollution, ecological imbalance, climate deterioration, spiritual emptiness, moral decay, etc. It is hoped that the "Tao Te Ching" can be used to find solutions to various problems faced by human beings and cure human physical and mental insecurities. Through the study, explanation, analysis and discussion of classics, on the one hand, we can understand Laozi's thoughts, and on the other hand, we can use Laozi's mirror to reflect and observe our lives, hoping to find the way to settle down and live in life.

General courses are different from professional courses. They actually focus on guiding students to actively care for, explore and practice the ultimate value and wisdom of mankind. At the same time, the knowledge provided by general courses is not the superficiality of professional courses, but basic knowledge with a solid sense. . Based on the school’s founding tradition, school motto and school philosophy, the school has formulated four basic qualities for general education: truth-seeking quality, belief quality, practical quality and general quality, in order to concretely implement the school’s ideals of general education. We hope that our students can develop their independent learning spirit and gradually develop their basic literacy in general education under the guidance of general education teachers, and look forward to lifelong learning. Each basic literacy has specific learning effectiveness indicators for self-examination of teaching and learning effectiveness, which are described below: Truth-seeking literacy (natural field): 1. Learn the methods or philosophy of natural science to explore physics and the subtleties of the living world, 2. Use the spirit of discussing matters as they are, 3. Be able to participate in public affairs related to scientific issues. Belief literacy (humanities field): 1. Learn the humanistic spirit to explore the inner self and understand the deep value of human civilization, 2. Develop self-discipline, 3. Be able to use rationality for moral reasoning. Practical literacy (social field): 1. Use social science methods or philosophy to stimulate students' listening and communication skills, 2. Recognize and respect diversity, 3. Practice the spirit of democratic deliberation. Hongtong literacy (cross-field): 1. Pursue the overall value of human beings, 2. Integrate qualities such as truth-seeking, faith, and practice into personal life. Courses in various fields can choose from different learning outcome indicators, so there is no need to be rigid.
