Features: This textbook is designed for university Chinese language majors and can also be used by readers with equivalent academic qualifications. Based on the study of ancient Chinese, this textbook systematically introduces the fundamental knowledge of ancient Chinese, aiming to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of the general aspects of ancient Chinese. For those who wish to continue their studies, it lays a solid foundation for further professional learning in the history of the Chinese language. For general learners, it can enhance their ability to read classical texts, improve their cultural literacy, and better learn the history and culture of their motherland. This textbook introduces the general knowledge of ancient Chinese, combining both theoretical depth and strong practicality. On one hand, learners should master the various concepts, technical terms, basic viewpoints, and general theoretical knowledge introduced, with some of the knowledge requiring thorough memorization. When studying this knowledge, it is essential to focus on understanding and grasping its fundamental meaning, rather than rigidly memorizing it for exam purposes. On the other hand, the learning of general knowledge should be combined with the practice of reading classical texts. For the majority of learners, this course is not taken to pursue specialized research but to enhance cultural literacy. Therefore, it is particularly emphasized that learners should apply the knowledge they have learned to solve problems encountered while reading, further consolidating their understanding through practical application.
