Features: The learning system of this book is basically as follows: The content in the section "Learning Materials" mainly consists of three parts: learning requirements, author (collection) or genre introduction, and learning procedures. The learning procedures are composed of several parts: overall perception, local understanding I and II, questioning and discussion, thinking and exploration, transfer training, and answers and translations.
Overall perception aims to help students grasp the content, writing style, language, and genre characteristics of the material broadly, laying a foundation for the subsequent local understanding. Local Understanding I consists of annotations on the text, summaries of paragraph meanings, analysis of doubts, and key points of classical Chinese basics. In the classical Chinese basics section, there are categories such as homophones, verbal collocation, ancient and modern differences in meaning, classification of one-word multiple meanings of real and virtual words, and sentence patterns. These are very helpful for students to grasp classical Chinese words, phrases, and sentences. The analysis of doubts involves interpreting controversial or difficult parts of the text, which not only helps students accurately understand the meanings of certain words and phrases but also cultivates their ability to comprehend texts in specific linguistic contexts.
Local Understanding II consists of background information on the text, appreciation of content and writing characteristics, thinking frames, and thinking and exploration. In the section on content appreciation and writing characteristics, emphasis is placed on the appreciation of the content and writing style of classical Chinese poems and prose. This part addresses the common issue of insufficient analysis of writing characteristics in traditional teaching and reference materials, providing direct help for students to self-study classical Chinese, develop their ability to understand and appreciate texts, and prepare for exams that require analysis of classical Chinese content and writing.
Thinking and Exploration includes questioning and discussion and association and reflection. Questioning and discussion involves questioning and discussing the content and ideas of the text, offering different analyses and evaluations of the content, ideas, and authorial attitudes. Association and reflection focuses on the impact of the text's content on readers, its connection to contemporary society, the influence on readers, the inspiration provided by the author's writing talent, and comparative analysis of works. This section emphasizes the stimulation of perspectives, which will play a significant role in cultivating students' thinking abilities, thinking structures, and enriching their mental capacity. It also greatly helps in developing students' ability to learn from the past and apply it to the present.
Transfer training involves exercises on the words, phrases, sentences, and content and writing style of new classical Chinese texts, based on exam question types. To facilitate learning and practice, reference answers and explanations, as well as translations of classical Chinese texts, are provided after the transfer training. The entire learning program is relatively comprehensive and will meet the needs of students in their study of classical Chinese.
