First, the learning content
The knowledge learned includes: by reading novels, poems, operas and other Japanese and world literary works, Japanese unique ancient literature, songs, haiku, and even movie scripts and comic books, analyzing the inner activities of the characters and the author's intentions; Regard literary works as a cultural phenomenon and analyze the social background and history of the writing period.
There are many research methods, including writer research, vocabulary and grammar research of language and so on. Literary research is like human research, so its research field is quite extensive.
To study literature, we should be interested not only in literature, but also in linguistics, folklore, philosophy, history, psychology, sociality and art.
Second, the branch introduction
Japanese literature departments can be divided into two categories. Ask the Japanese Literature Department (China Literature Department) which studies Japanese literature works and the foreign literature department which studies foreign literature works respectively.
In addition, there is a comparative literature department to compare the two. Of course, the Department of Foreign Literature also gives lectures on China literature. In addition, it should be noted that the Japanese Literature Department is not the so-called "japanese language school" for learning Japanese, but a major for studying literary works written in Japanese.
In college, the basic knowledge of literature is usually learned in the first and second grades. The department of foreign literature will also carry out language education so that students can understand their works in the language of the country. After the third grade, they usually study their works in depth in the form of research classes.
Third, employment prospects.

The knowledge of arts and sciences has a wide range of applications, so the place of work is not only the place where the majors of universities match. Like other liberal arts departments, jobs related to mass media and publishing are very popular.
In addition, because I know foreign cultures, I have an advantage in the employment of travel agencies and other enterprises.
Fourth, the school selection guide
Because of the wide range of research objects and methods of literary works, each university has its own characteristics, so choosing a university is the key. In addition, it is particularly important to find out the research fields of professors in this university.
Especially in the research class, the literary works studied by different professors are very different. Therefore, if the writers and literary works to be studied are determined, you can investigate in advance whether there are professors who study this field in voluntary universities.
