First, the international background of the development of Chinese international education
With the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive strength, more and more countries in the world have turned their attention to the vast land of China. As the most populous language in the world and the working language of the United Nations, Chinese plays an important media role. Therefore, for foreigners, learning Chinese and understanding China culture has become a necessary condition for dealing with China people, while for China people, it is an excellent opportunity for Chinese and China traditional culture to go global. There is a "China fever" in the world. Thanks to the good background of the times, Chinese international education has made continuous breakthroughs.
Second, the history and present situation of China's international education development
International Chinese education in China has a long history. From the Han Dynasty, "Hu Ren" came to China to learn Chinese. Since the reform and opening up, more and more foreign students have come to China to study Chinese. Nowadays, foreign students who come to China are no longer learning languages just for communication, but more students are learning and feeling China culture.
Chinese international education in China has gone through half a century, which can be roughly divided into two periods, namely, the formation period of 30 years before the reform and opening up and the development period of 20 years after the reform and opening up. The former has gone through four stages: establishment, consolidation, recovery and development. In the whole development process, international education in China has maintained a strong development momentum.
