本課程希望透過閱讀、思考、從中提出質疑來達到思辨、表達能力的養成；由文本所呈現的各式議題，一方面由時人心態、社會文化切入討論，另一方面則試圖由今日吾人想法切入思考，從中習得珍貴經驗，學會以「同理心」來思考事物，成為一個有情感的「人」！因此本學期主要閱讀文本是（明）馮夢龍《三言》，即《警世通言》、《醒世恒言》、《喻世明言》，每本編錄小說四十篇，共一百二十篇。將從中選取作品數篇，做為本學期上課教材。
馮夢龍的作品不但反映明朝的社會文化政治等層面，亦關注到百姓的生活，或用「人性」的角度來看待紅塵中浮沉之男女，不以其行而定其罪；當然有些故事由今觀之，情節、結局稍嫌迂腐、不合理，但凡此皆是作者想法的呈現及當代思潮對文學的影響，同時亦提供吾人思考空間。更甚者，其篇章留傳至今，很多成為戲劇題材，如〈金玉奴棒打薄情郎〉、〈玉堂春落難逢夫〉、〈白娘子永鎮雷峰塔〉等；有些則是成為口語之一，如「亂點鴛鴦譜」一句出自〈喬太守亂點鴛鴦譜〉，又如「棒打薄情郎」則出於〈金玉奴棒打薄情郎〉等，皆可見馮夢龍作品的痕跡。

This course hopes to develop the ability to think and expressive through reading, thinking, and raising doubts; the various questions presented in the text, on the one hand, are discussed from the current human attitude and social culture, and on the other hand, we should think about things from today's thoughts, and learn to think about things with "empathy" and become an emotional "person"! Therefore, the main reading texts in this period are the (Ming Dynasty) Rong Menglong's "Three Words", namely "Caution of the World", "Awakening the World and Eternal Words", and "Metaphorous Words". Each of them has forty novels, totaling one hundred and twenty. Several works will be selected from them and used as course materials for this course.
Rong Menglong's works not only reflect the social, cultural and political aspects of the Ming Dynasty, but also focus on the lives of the people, or look at the men and women who are floating and ups and downs in the red from the perspective of "human nature", and do not condemn them by their actions. Of course, some stories are viewed from the present moment, and the emotions and conclusions are a bit pedantic and unreasonable. All of these are the presentation of the author's ideas and the impact of contemporary thought on literature, and at the same time provide us with space for thinking. What's more, the chapters have been passed down to this day, and many of them have become the subject of drama, such as "The Golden Jade Slave Beats the Falling Lover", "The Yutang is Falling in Spring", "The Leifeng Pagoda of the White Snake Yongzhen", etc.; some have become one of the oral words, such as "The Ancient Duckling Slogan" from "The Ancient Duckling Slogan of the Prefect of Joseon", and "The Ancient Duckling Slogan of the Golden Jade Slogan of the Golden Jade Slogan of the Golden Jade Slogan of the Golden Jade Slogan", etc., all of which can be seen from the works of the Dream Dragon.
