This course hopes to develop the ability to think and express through reading, thinking, and raising questions. On the one hand, the various issues presented in the text are discussed based on the mentality of the people of the time and social culture. On the other hand, it attempts to start thinking from the thoughts of today's people, learn valuable experience from it, learn to think about things with "empathy", and become an emotional "person"! Through various aspects of life in classical novels, we can combine it with our lives and connect to ourselves. Therefore, this semester will start from the following perspectives: "Love" - ​​the wisdom of choice, sincere giving and letting go, "Life" - the philosophy and principles of life and doing things. From the different thinking shown in the novel, combined with the social background of the time, we try to interpret the original meaning of the author; and connect it to various problems and challenges we may face, as our reference goal. In the different social backgrounds of ancient and modern times, we have learned not to consider the unreasonable content of classical novels with modern thinking, but also try to imbue these old experiences with new thinking to make them more in line with the needs of the times.

In addition, depending on the majors of the students taking the course, unearthed cultural relics and historical documents will be used to explain the laws and punishments of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so that students can have a preliminary understanding of ancient history and systems. It may also trigger students to study the laws and systems of other dynasties, which will serve as a preliminary foundation for connecting to their own majors in the future.
