香港中文教學兼顧語文、文學及文化，這三項原也互相兼容。針對 社會人士評論香港學生文化素養及思辨能力不足之現象， 本文從文化及思辨角度切入課題討論。本文認為，中國文化之偉大在於不斷吸收 和補充新養份，中國文化不斷南移正達到這一目的。 當今世界潮流朝著民主、人權、法制、公義發展，香港社會既秉了中國文化南移 的傳統精神，又充分掌握人類社會進步的脈摶， 香港文化已成為華人社會的楷模，香港學生宜由此點反思，重訂學習目標，並將 香港建設成華夏模範城邦。
"Curriculum of Chinese" in Hong Kong consists of subjects of Chinese Language, Chinese Literature and Chinese Culture. As practices change with time, the elements of traditional Chinese culture in the content of Curriculum of Chinese has becom e less and less. In the other side, new elements like democracy, freedom, human right, justice and legality, modern management philosophy and skill, etc., is increasing in local culture of Hong Kong. Obviously, this indicated that Hong Kong society is mor e progressive than elsewhere of Chinese (including overseas Chinese) societies. This paper intended to point out that teachers of Chinese in Hong Kong should recognize this and encourage students to ponder, to criticize more about the development of moder n and contemporary culture in Hong Kong and China. Hong Kong citizens have ability to build the special region to be a model city of societies of Chinese. For this purpose, we should not change the current direction of culture development, and, to enchanc e this, our teachers should educate the young generation to study more in thinking art and contemporary culture.
