文學是精煉的語言文字藝術，表現了人類文明最璀璨的一頁。小說更是當代最受讀者青睞的文類，義大利小說家安伯托•艾可(Umberto Eco)說過：「建構一個由無數事件與人物組成的世界，無法鉅細靡遺，面面俱到，只能提示，然後由讀者自行去填滿所有的縫隙。每一個文本，就像我以前寫過的，都是部疏懶的機器，要求讀者也分擔部分工作。」一部完美的作品，少了讀者的閱讀，實在無法堪稱完整。拜科技之賜，訊息騰捷的結果卻剝奪了人們靜心閱讀的樂趣，反而使得芸芸眾生迷失於浩瀚的數位汪洋，輕易被枝節的訊息海浪所掩沒。

本學期以金庸的長篇武俠小說──《天龍八部》為指定參考書籍，以期能從精微的閱讀與品評中，跟著小說人物遊歷江湖，互訴衷情，恣意優遊於想像的大海。再者，從小說中錯綜複雜的人物關係，與環環相扣的情節安排中，探討本學期博雅中文共同書寫主題──「家」，釐清傳統觀念與人性慾望的累世衝突，重塑人、家、族、國的多重價值。

Literature is the refined art of language and writing, expressing the most brilliant page of human civilization. Novels are the most popular genre among contemporary readers. Italian novelist Umberto Eco said: "Constructing a world composed of countless events and characters cannot be exhaustive or comprehensive. It can only prompt, and then readers can fill in all the gaps. Every text, like what I have written before, is a lazy machine that requires readers to share part of the work." A perfect work cannot be called complete without the reading of readers. Thanks to technology, the speed of information has deprived people of the pleasure of reading quietly. Instead, all living beings have been lost in the vast digital ocean, easily drowned by the waves of irrelevant information.

This semester, Jin Yong's long martial arts novel "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" is used as the designated reference book. Through detailed reading and criticism, I hope to follow the characters in the novel as they travel around the world, express their feelings to each other, and swim freely in the sea of ​​imagination. Furthermore, from the complex character relationships and interlocking plot arrangements in the novel, we explore the common theme of this semester's liberal arts writing - "family", clarify the conflicts between traditional concepts and human desires for generations, and reshape the multiple values ​​of people, family, clan and country.

　　本校大一中文課程名稱為「文學欣賞與實用」（一般班）與「文學閱讀與寫作」（加強寫作班），奠基於培養文學素養的基礎上，因應各學院學科屬性之不同，以及面對職場的多元需求，將課程內容規畫為四大方向：
A. 經典閱讀：針對各學院系學科屬性，擇選相應之文本進行閱讀與討論。
B. 溝通表達：藉由各式課程活動，提昇學生的書面寫作與口語表達之能力。
C. 場域連結：透過文本的閱讀與書寫，引導學生思索「自我」與社會的橫向連結。
D. 文本實踐：將文本閱讀與日常生活進行連結，付諸書寫與創作。
　　未來四大模組可依學院系性質、任課教師專長、以及學生興趣與需求，配搭出不同模組之組合，供學生多元學習。

The freshman Chinese courses at our school are titled "Literary Appreciation and Practicality" (General Class) and "Literary Reading and Writing" (Enhanced Writing Class). Based on the cultivation of literary literacy, in response to the different subject attributes of each college and in the face of the diverse needs of the workplace, the course content is planned into four major directions:
A. Classic reading: Select corresponding texts for reading and discussion based on the subject attributes of each college and department.
B. Communication and Expression: Improve students’ written writing and oral expression abilities through various course activities.
C. Field connection: Through the reading and writing of texts, students are guided to think about the horizontal connection between "self" and society.
D. Text practice: connect text reading with daily life, and put it into writing and creation.
In the future, the four major modules can be combined with different modules according to the nature of the college and department, the expertise of the teachers, and the interests and needs of the students to provide students with diversified learning.
