文學家王爾德曾說：「在惠斯勒的畫之前，倫敦沒有霧」。意謂著倫敦雖長期灰霧濃鎖，然而卻是透過畫家惠斯勒的畫作，大家才意識到霧的無所不在。這學期的大一中文課程，希望透過藝文的獨特視域，使同學能在閱讀與理解後，將文學/藝術內裡蘊含的審美特質、社會意識、文化價值，甚而是批判意識逐漸滲透釋放，重新反身審視生活中存在已久卻或視而不見事物，建立關懷社會，親近藝文的博雅人文素養。

The writer Wilde once said: "Before Whistler's paintings, there was no fog in London." This means that although London has been covered in thick fog for a long time, it was through the paintings of the painter Whistler that everyone realized the omnipresence of fog. This semester's freshman Chinese course hopes that through the unique perspective of art and literature, students can gradually penetrate and release the aesthetic qualities, social consciousness, cultural value, and even critical consciousness contained in literature/art after reading and understanding, re-examine things that have existed in life for a long time but have been ignored, and build a liberal arts and humanistic quality that cares about society and is close to art.
