Features: Classical Chinese poetry and prose place great emphasis on formal beauty, including the regularity of sentences, the parallelism of tones, and the harmony of phonology. When reading classical Chinese, attention should also be paid to reflecting these characteristics. Therefore, I believe it is necessary for students to have some basic knowledge of ancient phonology so that they can better and more engagingly "read" classical Chinese poetry and prose. I think that if students complete the "three readings" and reach a certain level, reciting classical Chinese will no longer be a mindless chanting like a little monk, nor will it be a grueling torture of strained tongues and exhausted lips, but rather an aesthetic pleasure that is full of emotion, enthusiasm, and a deep connection between voice and heart, where hands and feet dance without realizing it. When reading, if students can savor the "flavor," they will enjoy reading without fatigue.
