The selected texts in Classical Chinese have undergone significant updates, increasing the proportion of pre-Qin and Han Dynasty selections and expanding the scope of content. The annotations for Classical Chinese now include two types: a "traditional annotation with modern commentary" format and a pure traditional annotation format. In Modern Chinese, the introduction and phonetics sections have been supplemented with dialect features, the grammar section has been enhanced with semantic analysis, and the rhetoric section has been expanded to include spoken rhetoric, body language rhetoric, and a greater variety of rhetorical devices. Traditional Linguistics and Philology is a textbook designed for in-depth study of classical Chinese, covering five parts: writing systems, phonology, etymology, grammar, and classical literature. It combines theoretical study with textual reading, with a particular emphasis on introducing fundamental theories and research methods.
