* * The History of Plague in Famous Paintings is an online general education course created by Huang Gang, the first president of Shanghai Medical College.

This course aims to create a medical humanities education with school characteristics and social concern, which embodies the cross-integration of medicine and art, history, society, psychology and other disciplines, and has the characteristics of new medicine and new liberal arts. At the same time, it is also a teaching practice that combines "ideological and political education of epidemic situation" with "aesthetic education" in the context of COVID-19's global ravages.
