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」！透過小說中的人生百態來和吾人生活做結合、連結到自身。由小說所展現的不同思維，配合當時的社會背景，試圖解讀作者的本義；並連結至我們可能面臨的各式問題與挑戰，做為我們參考的目標。也在古今不同的社會背景中，學著不以現代的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。
又，因應修課同學之專業，將藉由小說內容反應明代商業活動及當代人對商業的想法，或可使同學思考古今商業活動或概念的異同。

This course hopes to develop the ability to think and expressive through reading, thinking, and raise doubts from the source; the various questions presented in the text, on the one hand, are discussed from the current human mind and social culture, and on the other hand, we will think about things from today's thoughts, and learn to think about things with "empathy" and become an emotional "person"! Through the life experiences in the novel, we combine and connect with our lives. The different ideas shown in the novel, combined with the social background at that time, try to explain the author's original meaning; and link them to various problems and challenges that we may face, as our goal for reference. In the different social contexts of ancient and modern times, we have learned the inappropriateness of not considering the content of classical novels with modern thinking, and tried to give these old experiences new ideas to make them more in line with the needs of the times.
Furthermore, due to the professionalism of the students in the course, the novel will reflect the business activities of the Ming Dynasty and the ideas of contemporary people about business, which may make the students think about the differences between business activities or concepts in ancient and modern times.
