本課程預計透過古典小說所呈現出的人生百態來和吾人生活做結合。前事不忘後事之師，古人所歷經的人生也許是我們未來所將經歷的。誰說古典文學中的世情就連接不上現代？因此本學期將從以下三個主題切入：「愛情」— 付出與放手的智慧、「人生」— 做人處事哲學、「自我」— 個人目標及理想確立。冀由小說所展現的不同思維，加之配合當時的社會背景，試圖解讀作者的本義；並連結至現今吾人所面臨的各式問題與挑戰，以做為我們參考的目標。同時，也在古今不同的社會背景中，學著不以現代的新思維考量古典小說內容的不盡合理處，也試著將這些舊經驗賦予新思維，使之更符合時代所需。透過文本的閱讀及賞析，訓練學生閱讀及掌握重點的能力；藉由問題的提出與討論，激盪出各學系同學的不同看法，在彼此意見交流中，使同學的看法可以更多元；或將小說文本與歷史、文化、現代文學–如詩、戲劇或小說做結合，加強同學對文學、文化的熟悉度；輔以分組報告或討論，使學生由多角度來看待世事，以提升自我思辯及語文表達能力。

This course is expected to integrate various aspects of life presented in classical novels with our lives. A person who remembers the past and remembers the future. The life experienced by the ancients may be what we will experience in the future. Who says that the world in classical literature cannot be connected to modern times? Therefore, this semester will focus on the following three themes: "Love" - ​​the wisdom of giving and letting go, "Life" - the philosophy of life and doing things, and "Self" - the establishment of personal goals and ideals. We hope to interpret the original meaning of the author based on the different thinking displayed in the novel and the social background of the time; and connect it to the various problems and challenges we face today, so as to serve as our reference target. At the same time, in the different social backgrounds of ancient and modern times, we have learned not to consider the unreasonable content of classical novels with new modern thinking, but also try to imbue these old experiences with new thinking to make it more in line with the needs of the times. Through the reading and appreciation of texts, students are trained to read and grasp key points; through the raising of questions and discussions, the different views of students from various departments are stirred up, and students can have more diverse views during the exchange of opinions; or by combining novel texts with history, culture, and modern literature - such as poetry, drama or novels, to enhance students' familiarity with literature and culture; supplemented by group reports or discussions, students can view world affairs from multiple perspectives to improve their self-thinking and language expression skills.
