Features: While modern and foreign literary works certainly abound in masterpieces, they generally do not pose language barriers, and students can read them smoothly without instruction. In fact, in previous teaching of "College Chinese," due to limited class hours, classical texts were often emphasized, while modern and foreign works were rarely included in self-study. In light of this, this textbook selects 57 ancient works. The book is divided into two parts, classified by genre, and arranged chronologically. The first part consists of prose without rhyme, including six units: philosophical prose, political essays, lyrical prose, biographies, notes and sketches, and letters and memorials, totaling 36 pieces. The second part consists of rhymed works, including four units: poetry, fu, ci, and qu, totaling 21 pieces. All selected texts are renowned ancient masterpieces, aiming for broad content and diverse forms, but due to space constraints, many beautiful works had to be omitted. Considering the characteristics of medical schools, some articles related to medical content were appropriately selected, but they avoid repetition with the "Medical Ancient Chinese" textbook, such as "Qi Shou," "Dao Xu," "Jian Yao," "Song Qing Zhen," "Xin Zhao Yi Yi," "Hong Guang Yan Shi," "Su He Xiang Wan," "Song Ren Yi Xue Bi Jie San Zhe," and "Yi Su Ting Ji."
