Features: The Ministry of Education has recently issued 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, examinations, and question setting. Compared to the previous Chinese teaching syllabus, the New Curriculum Standards enhance the modern awareness of the Chinese curriculum, actively promote innovative and engaging teaching methods for the Chinese course, and actively reform evaluation methods. They emphasize cultivating students' humanistic literacy and enabling them to have more direct contact with Chinese learning materials. One of the main goals of the New Curriculum Standards is to increase the amount of extracurricular reading, enabling students to understand and appreciate classic masterpieces and outstanding poems and prose.
