Features: This textbook, "College Chinese," emphasizes the inheritance of the fine traditions of Chinese civilization and the promotion of the spirit of the Chinese nation, highlighting the spirit of democracy and science. The selected works not only possess high literary and aesthetic value but also emphasize democracy and science, focusing on increasing the awareness of governance for the people and democratic legal systems. These works aim to inspire thinking, reflect innovative awareness, and showcase scientific value. We are concerned with the fruits of intellectual liberation and the flourishing of new literature in the past one and a half centuries. From Gong Zizhen, who pioneered the modern literary style, to the great figures in modern Chinese history such as Sun Yat-sen and Mao Zedong; from Cai Yuanpei and Lu Xun to contemporary masters like Mao Dun, Zeng Guofan, and Ba Jin, their representative works are included in the textbook to allow students to observe the tumultuous changes of the past century and understand the significant transformations in modern China. The book collects over 230 famous works from the pre-Qin period to the contemporary era, serving as both a "College Chinese" textbook and a reader for humanities education. In terms of structure, it consists of four parts: author introductions, main text, annotations, and reading suggestions.
