Features: With the promulgation of the new Chinese language curriculum standards by the Ministry of Education, the goals, tasks, teaching methods, and evaluation of Chinese language teaching have been infused with new ideas, taking another step toward the "ultimate truth" of the Chinese language subject. It is our good wish to incorporate the spirit of the new curriculum standards as much as possible in the revision of How to Learn Chinese in Junior High School. Based on the philosophy of the new curriculum standards, we have made appropriate changes in modern prose reading, classical Chinese reading, and narrative writing in this revision. The requirements for modern prose reading have been expanded compared to the past, emphasizing not only overall comprehension but also the formation of reading experiences, emotions, attitudes, and values. It focuses on the evaluation of content and the appreciation of expressive forms, highlighting the cultivation of questioning and inquiry skills, innovative abilities, and the absorption and accumulation of social and cultural knowledge. The quantity and difficulty of classical Chinese reading have also been increased. Relying on the limited classical Chinese poems and articles in the textbook alone is insufficient to meet teaching needs. The expansion of extracurricular classical Chinese reading materials is inevitable. The requirements and evaluation criteria for writing have also undergone gradual changes. In light of the above reasons, we have reexplained the framework of basic modern prose reading skills and meticulously compiled examples and exercises. We have added extracurricular content for classical Chinese reading and made significant adjustments to the content of writing, emphasizing the expression of emotional experiences and the formation of values and concepts, guiding students to pay more attention to the accumulation of life and thoughts.
