Features: This book is a public course textbook suitable for undergraduate university students, as well as a popular reading material for Chinese language and literature knowledge. The same course will first be widely offered to freshmen in the science, engineering, and liberal arts at Shanghai University. How to teach public foundation courses suitable for the requirements of the 21st century and enhance the humanities quality of college students is a topic worthy of deep reflection and serious discussion. In the 1980s, during the period of educational recovery, the College Chinese textbook played a significant role in supplementing and strengthening Chinese language knowledge for freshmen in science and engineering universities and non-Chinese majors in liberal arts, achieving remarkable results. However, by the end of the 20th century, the knowledge structure of university freshmen had changed. They had already received a solid foundation in Chinese language and literature during their high school years and could learn systematic classical and modern Chinese texts from the newly adopted high school Chinese textbooks. Therefore, further supplementary learning in article selection and basic Chinese language training after entering university has lost its original teaching significance.
