Features: "Teaching Chinese as a Second Language is a science." This is a definitive judgment made by the linguistic master Mr. Wang Li. Any science reflects a systematic body of knowledge that studies the objective laws of nature, society, and thought. Over the past few decades, the discipline of Teaching Chinese as a Second Language has made significant progress. The 18 articles in this book, written between 1987 and 2002, cover three aspects: Modern Chinese Lexicology, Teaching Chinese as a Second Language, and Academic Reviews. These contents reflect the author's research work over these 15 years, excluding grammar studies. The four articles on Modern Chinese Lexicology mark the author's academic starting point in studying Modern Chinese. Although the author later shifted his focus, he rarely discussed lexical issues, yet lexical research left a profound impact on him. The six articles on Teaching Chinese as a Second Language, though mostly consisting of speculative discussions, are traces of the author's dedication to this field. The seven conference summaries and book reviews that follow are part of the author's work as an editor over more than a decade. The last article is a heartfelt expression of idealism, conveying the author's passion for Chinese linguistics.
