Features: The Ministry of Education recently promulgated the "Full-time Compulsory Education Chinese Curriculum Standards" and the "General High School Chinese Curriculum Standards," abbreviated as the new curriculum standards. They serve as the basis for teaching, exams, and question setting. Compared to the previous Chinese teaching syllabus, the new curriculum standards strengthen the modern awareness of the Chinese curriculum, actively promote new and innovative teaching methods, and reform evaluation methods. They focus on cultivating students' humanistic literacy, allowing them to have more direct exposure to Chinese language materials. One of the main goals of the new curriculum standards is to increase extracurricular reading volume, enabling students to understand and appreciate classic masterpieces and outstanding poetry and prose.
