    隨著國際社會對中國的關注度日益提升，越來越多的外國人開始對中國和中國文化感興趣，但是大學英語教材普遍存在著“多以英美文化為主，缺少中國文化內容”的問題，與嶺南文化相關的英語類教材更是少之又少，導致本土文化“失語癥”現像在大學生中越來越普遍，更談不上幫助學生擔當“講好中國故事，傳播中國聲音”的時代責任。大學英語教學中本土文化內容缺失的現狀與“傳播中國優秀傳統文化”的目標極不相稱。
    《高等學校課程思政建設指導綱要（2020）》強調：立德樹人成效是檢驗高校一切工作的根本標準。《大學英語教學指南（2020）》也明確提出： 大學英語教學應自覺融入社會主義核心價值觀和中華優秀傳統文化，引導學生樹立正確的世界觀、人生觀和價值觀。為了彰顯大學英語課程的思政育人價值，本書圍繞中華優秀傳統文化，聚焦嶺南文化，通過對嶺南文化的概覽及其各類文化主題內容的介紹，使學生更加了解嶺南文化底蘊及其蘊含的精神內核（開放、包容、進取、務實、堅、創新），並學習如何用英文表述本土文化，從而進一步增強對外交流的自信心。同時引導學生通過對文化現像進行批判性思考，正確認識傳統文化、外來文化和現代文化的聯繫和區別，樹立科學的文化觀和文化主體意識，增強對中國文化的熱愛之情，從而自覺維護民族文化。
    本書體現了“思政育人”的價值。編者團隊充分挖掘教學材料中蘊含的社會主義核心價值觀及嶺南文化中的精神內核，對所有的教學資源都進行了課素的梳理及優化。都有與該文化主題相關的“勵志名言”，同時在顯著位置篇章所蘊含的思素。在讀後活動及觀後活動中，通過討論相關的主題並完成項目任務，讓學生在了解、認識嶺南文化的基礎上，思考嶺南文化的繼承和創新問題，從而提高學生的人文素質，增強學生的民族自信心、自尊心、自豪感，促成“傳承地方文化 語言運用 價值傳遞”的有機融合。本書精選8 個內容：嶺南文化概覽、建築、飲食、歷史文化遺址、傳統藝術與民間工藝、武術、名人、非遺。在的介紹、閱讀材料及視聽說材料中，既有與主題相關的宏觀介紹，也精選了具有濃郁地方特色的個例，包括廣東涼茶、騎樓、粵劇、潮劇、廣州早茶文化、詠春拳、黃埔軍校、開平碉樓、客家土樓等。本書的8由易興霞、武衛、黃敏、章心怡、凌芳、丁燁、陳鶴方、餘紅暉、陳文宜、何曄、段國祥老師共同編寫。
    本書既可作為大學英語課程思政教材、大學英語後續拓展課程教材，也能作為外國留學生學習中國文化及地方文化的教學用書，同時本書也可供對中國傳統文化及嶺南文化感興趣的人參考、使用。
    文化是一個包羅萬像的體繫，浩如煙海，博大精深，非一本書能窮盡。同時，由於編者水平有限，難免掛一漏萬，書中不當之處，敬請讀者批評指正。
