本課程的目標是，使學生在閱讀任何種類文本時，能帶著批判性思考的意識，發掘文本中所隱藏的問題，並對這些問題提出自己的分析。此外，同學應培養公開表達意見的能力，學習如何上台在眾人面前發表自己的觀點，與其他人進行對話。在發表過程中，可以從溝通中發現自己不曾注意到的思考觀點，增加自己的反省能力。課程設計每次上課指定閱讀的教材，預定會使用一到兩節課講解背景和文義，然後開放學生自由討論二十分鐘。學生以五到六人為一單位，分成五組到六組，每組同學討論完文本後，應推派代表整理組員的意見上台發言，教師會針對每組同學的發言提出討論的意見。課程的教材以明清兩代的作品為主，但是要提醒的是，選材是古代或現代並不是決定性的因素，閱讀文本時也不應拘泥在文本當中，應該廣泛將自身的經驗、查詢網路資料和所有學科的知識，用在分析和思考中。任何種類的意見在課堂上都可以容許，沒有標準答案。唯一的要求是立論必須有根據，不要隨意揣測上意，或是盲信網路上看到的資訊。最後，學生應在廣泛閱讀不同形式的古代文本中，培養對古代文化知識的敏銳度，作為後續專業科目的基礎能力。

The goal of this course is to enable students to use a sense of critical thinking when reading any kind of text, discover the problems hidden in the text, and put forward their own analysis of these problems. In addition, students should develop the ability to express their opinions publicly, learn how to go on stage to express their opinions in front of everyone, and engage in dialogue with others. In the process of publishing, you can discover perspectives you have not noticed through communication and increase your ability to reflect. The course design specifies reading materials for each class. It is scheduled to use one or two lessons to explain the background and meaning of the text, and then allow students to discuss freely for twenty minutes. Students are divided into five to six groups in units of five to six. After each group of students has finished discussing the text, a representative should be nominated to sort out the opinions of the group members and speak on stage. The teacher will provide discussion opinions based on the speeches of each group of students. The teaching materials of the course are mainly works from the Ming and Qing dynasties. However, it should be reminded that whether the material is ancient or modern is not a decisive factor. When reading the text, you should not stick to the text. You should extensively use your own experience, Internet information and knowledge of all disciplines in analysis and thinking. Opinions of any kind are allowed in the classroom, and there are no standard answers. The only requirement is that the argument must be well-founded and do not make random guesses or blindly believe in information you see on the Internet. Finally, students should develop a sensitivity to ancient cultural knowledge through extensive reading of ancient texts in different forms, as a foundation for subsequent professional subjects.
