本次讲座内容从岭南文化的概念出发，围绕岭南文化的构成、表现、特征、发展走向等四个部分展开。
在讲座上，陈老师首先带领大家重新了解岭南文化的概念，从文化、岭南两方面入手，以地理人文学科角度诠释岭南文化的涵义。
接着，结合不同区域介绍岭南文化中的广府文化、潮汕文化、客家文化等区域文化之间的差异和各自特点。陈老师认为岭南文化是在土著文化的基础上，接收中原及各地优秀文化，并吸收海外文化精华，而形成的富有活力和地方特色的本地区文化。它与中华传统文化、岭南文化各地域文化之间蕴含着大同存异的共性关系。岭南文化经历两千多年交融汇聚，形成了兼收并蓄，勇于开拓，大胆革新，讲求实用的特点，进而形成广东人开放、务实、敢为人先的精神品格。
