The "Reading, Appreciating, and Reflecting" series, as a research-based curriculum, introduces "micro-fiction, poetry, prose, essays, stories, and other literary genres" into secondary school Chinese language teaching. It enables students to learn how to conduct research around a topic and express their findings in writing. Thus, it has become a comprehensive activity that integrates reading, appreciation, research, and writing, benefiting students' literary appreciation and analytical skills, as well as their overall Chinese language proficiency.
Reading requires appreciation and reflection, but it is even more inseparable from readers connecting with their own experiences. Reading in the context of experience leads to deeper appreciation and clearer insights. All concepts are abstract, but it is experience that makes them concrete and vivid. The "Experience" series respects students' reading experiences and advocates personalized reading. The selected articles are both intellectually enriching and emotionally uplifting.
