甘肅敦煌自古是中原通往西域絲綢之路上的重鎮，歷代以來，經歷多元文化的融合，使得敦煌藝術無論是繪畫、彩塑、服飾等，都反映出中西文化交流的社會風貌。除了豐富的創造力和想像力外，敦煌藝術還包含了儒釋道三教合一的圖像，呈現了歷代的社會生活情狀，是中國古代的重要文化遺產。
本課程透過選材講授及專題討論，輔以Power Point 及影片教材，引導學生深入瞭解敦煌藝術文化的重要內涵，擴充人文領域學習面向，厚植學生藝術鑑賞修養，並啟發現代文化創意產業開發靈感。Dunhuang, Gansu Province, has been an important town on the Silk Road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions since ancient times. Over the past dynasties, it has experienced the integration of multiple cultures, making Dunhuang art, whether it is paintings, colored sculptures, costumes, etc., reflect the social style of Chinese and Western cultural exchanges. In addition to its rich creativity and imagination, Dunhuang art also contains images of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, showing the social life of the past dynasties, and is an important cultural heritage of ancient China.
Through selected lectures and special discussions, supplemented by Power Point and video teaching materials, this course guides students to gain an in-depth understanding of the important connotations of Dunhuang art and culture, expands the learning aspects of the humanities field, enriches students' art appreciation, and inspires the development of modern cultural and creative industries.

General courses are different from professional courses. They actually focus on guiding students to actively care for, explore and practice the ultimate value and wisdom of mankind. At the same time, the knowledge provided by general courses is not the superficiality of professional courses, but basic knowledge with a solid sense. . Based on the school’s founding tradition, school motto and school philosophy, the school has formulated four basic qualities for general education: truth-seeking quality, belief quality, practical quality and general quality, in order to concretely implement the school’s ideals of general education. We hope that our students can develop their independent learning spirit and gradually develop their basic literacy in general education under the guidance of general education teachers, and look forward to lifelong learning. Each basic literacy has specific learning effectiveness indicators for self-examination of teaching and learning effectiveness, which are described below: Truth-seeking literacy (natural field): 1. Learn the methods or philosophy of natural science to explore physics and the subtleties of the living world, 2. Use the spirit of discussing matters as they are, 3. Be able to participate in public affairs related to scientific issues. Belief literacy (humanities field): 1. Learn the humanistic spirit to explore the inner self and understand the deep value of human civilization, 2. Develop self-discipline, 3. Be able to use rationality for moral reasoning. Practical literacy (social field): 1. Use social science methods or philosophy to stimulate students' listening and communication skills, 2. Recognize and respect diversity, 3. Practice the spirit of democratic deliberation. Hongtong literacy (cross-field): 1. Pursue the overall value of human beings, 2. Integrate qualities such as truth-seeking, faith, and practice into personal life. Courses in various fields can choose from different learning outcome indicators, so there is no need to be rigid.
