Features: This book is a modern Chinese language teaching material with a new system. The entire book adheres to an open principle, widely and cautiously incorporating the research achievements of scholars from recent years both domestically and internationally (including Taiwan and Hong Kong). It revolutionizes the old teaching framework from both content and form, reforming the rigid paper model, discarding outdated views, and appropriately introducing important schools of thought, achieving a balance between systematicity and inclusivity. The editors break the traditional narrative format of phonetics, vocabulary, and grammar as the three core elements, adding semantic, pragmatics, contrastive and comparative studies, and Chinese character culture, providing a comprehensive analysis of modern Chinese. The book strives to avoid repeating content learned in middle school, aiming to offer students new knowledge. It uses small print for some paragraphs to facilitate selective adjustments during teaching. The writing style is lively, accompanied by charts, experimental records, quantitative analysis, references, and a large number of systematic exercises. It can serve as a textbook for modern Chinese foundation courses in various undergraduate and graduate universities, as well as a reference for modern Chinese researchers.
