本課程設計以喜愛「細讀經典原著」之學生為授課對象。
《紅樓夢》作者虛構了「大觀園」此一理想世界，苦心經營以之表徵賈寶玉和眾女兒的生命中唯一且絕對意義的詩性空間、塵俗中的蜃樓樂園，歷來讀者眼光或因這座花園的樂園意義，或受寶黛浪漫情緣所吸引，常不免忽略了園內園外尚同時運行著的現實世界。在小說中，這座園林的建造基地是利用了寧榮二府的舊園子起蓋，本就無法自書中述及的現實世界徹底斷開，「理想」和「現實」於構設初時顯然就密切地糾纏在一起。
事實上，作者對於發生在成人世界、現實世界的種種艱難，同樣費盡心機地刻劃，其筆墨渲染下的園外世界雖代表骯髒、墮落、污濁等負面意義，恰與保護眾女兒的堡壘「大觀園」之封閉性與清淨感相對，然而二者間存有的卻是相互補襯之義，換句話說，唯有同時把握住二者，才能稱得是掌握作者的創作企圖、貫穿全書的重要線索，以及作品內在之完整性。小說家張愛玲有段評論紅樓的文字寫到：「散場是時間的悲劇，少年時代一過，就被逐出伊甸園。家中發生變故，已經是發生在庸俗黯淡的成人的世界裡。」「抄家」事件是百年家族面對皇權行使、屬於政治上的橫暴外力，其對於大觀園理想性的破滅所引發的文學效果固然顯著，然另一隱性、靜態且更為強大的悲劇重心卻是「時間」，時間促使少男少女長大成年，不僅寶玉必須遷出園子，少女們也要出嫁。家族衰敗的潦倒之罪、裙釵風流雲散的無可奈何，最終引度賈寶玉出家的結局，關於紅塵俗世裡的幻緣和快樂不能永久依恃，此刻的他已經懂得。
本學期課程規劃，即是從《紅樓夢》小說人物在成長過程及成年後的生命關卡、個別生命面臨的劇烈變化，安排了：讀書志業、欲望調節、身分階級、管理危機和禮法秩序等四大主題，結合相關小說回目進行細讀，期克服經典因時代、文化隔閡，或個人閱讀喜好等因素造成的偏食；教師亦將引導同學立足現世的生命經驗和生活基底回應經典，以現代眼光和個人類似的生命情境進行議題審視和反思，品讀作者筆下兼涵社會各層級身分之弱勢處境，解讀夾藏在日常現實生活裡的各式世情與悲憫。
This course is designed to teach students who like "read classic original works carefully".
The author of "Red House Dream" virtually constructed the ideal world of "Great Garden", and worked hard to use it to express the only and absolutely unconventional meaning of the life of Ja Baoyu and the daughters, and the mirage garden in the mundane customs. When readers' vision is either attracted by the park's meaning or by the romantic emotions of Bao Dai, they often ignore the real world that is still running at the same time inside and outside the garden. In the novel, the construction base of this garden is built using the old gardens of the two palaces of Ningrong. It cannot be completely opened from the real world mentioned in the book. "Ideal" and "Reality" obviously closely reconciled together at the beginning of the structure.
In fact, the author also carved the difficult things that occur in the adult world and the real world. Although the outside world rendered by the ink represents negative meanings such as dirty, slump, and dirty, it is exactly the "Great Garden" that protects the daughters. "The nature of the closure is consistent with the sense of purity, but what exists between the two is the meaning of mutual resonance. In other words, only by grasping the two at the same time can we be called mastering the author's creative ideas, the important thread of traveling through the whole book, and the inner integrity of the work. The novel Zhang Ailing commented on the red building and wrote: "The tragedy of time is the tragedy of time. As soon as he was young, he was expelled from the Garden of Eden. The family changed its fate and it happened in a vulgar and bleak adult world." The "Home Search" incident was a century-old family's exercise of imperial power and political The violent external force in governance, which is certainly significant in literary effects caused by the destruction of the ideals of the Grand View, is the focus of the tragedy, which is tranquil and more powerful, is "time". When time promotes young boys and girls to grow up and become adults, not only must be born in the garden, but girls must also get married. The sin of family decline and the helplessness of the scattered skirt and the scattered skirts finally caused the end of Ja Baoyu's becoming a monk. The illusion and happiness in the world cannot be relied on forever. At this moment, he already understands it.
The course planning of this school is a dramatic change in the growth process of the characters in the novel "Red House Dream" and the life links after adulthood, and the scenes of life. It arranges four major themes: reading, journalism, desire adjustment, identity level, management crisis and gift order, combined with the relevant novels for detailed reading, in order to overcome classical reasons and cultural separations. Or a partial diet caused by factors such as personal reading preferences; the teacher will also guide students to respond to classics based on the current life experience and life foundation, and review and reflect on issues with a modern perspective and a personal life situation. Under the author's book, he also covers the weaknesses of all levels of the society, and explains the various worldly emotions and sorrows hidden in daily life.
