The selected texts in Classical Chinese have been significantly updated, increasing the proportion of pre-Qin and Han Dynasty selections while expanding the content scope. The annotations for Classical Chinese now include two types: a "classical annotation plus modern annotation" format and a pure classical annotation format. In Modern Chinese, the introduction and phonetics sections have been supplemented with dialect features, the grammar section has incorporated semantic analysis, and the rhetoric section has added 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 literature reading, with a particular emphasis on introducing fundamental theories and research methods.
