Chinese is certainly not philosophy. Although Chinese has a strong ideological content, the ideas embodied in the selected articles do not need to be "universally applicable", nor do they need to guide us forward from an absolute height, as long as students can understand these articles after learning.
Chinese is not technology. If you learn Chinese well, you can have strong expression and communication skills, cultivate your self-cultivation, be far-sighted and benefit for life, but you may not get a job that is urgently needed at the moment. Chinese is a "primary school", as small as a "pair of accompanying carp"; Chinese is a "university", as big as "cultivate one's morality, keep one's family in order and level the world"
Chinese is a tool, but it doesn't need utility, especially when it is combined with the market economy, because the application scope of Chinese is far beyond the market economy.
Chinese is useless and extremely useful. Doing nothing and doing everything is required by the university.
How to express the humanity of Chinese?
Chinese is literature, and it is the aestheticism of "going to the West Building alone without words".
Chinese is a philosophy, and it is "both mysterious and mysterious" wisdom.
There are swords and swords, tender feelings like water, lofty aspirations of "laughing and thirsty for Huns' blood" and lingering feelings of "Yang Liuan, Xiao Feng's waning moon".

What exactly is Chinese?
Our textbooks can't give you a standard answer, but we can interpret Chinese in our own way. In compiling this textbook, we have highlighted the following characteristics:
First, this textbook tries to avoid using middle school Chinese textbooks. We don't want to turn college Chinese textbooks into senior four Chinese textbooks, and we don't want students to "eat leftovers" in college Chinese classes. However, in view of the fact that there are too many versions of Chinese textbooks in middle schools, almost including ancient and modern classic selections, we can only try to avoid them.
Second, the selected articles strive to highlight the classics. The "Charming Thinking" unit selects representative articles or fragments of Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and Military Strategists, aiming at guiding students to learn classics and think about life. In the "Image Bloom" unit, select the essence of the classic "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so that students can learn the classics more deeply.
Third, boldly choose some popular excellent works. For example, Jin Yong's novels, such as vincent fang's lyrics, such as Liu Yong's inspirational essays ... We believe that what is popular is not necessarily temporary, and what is excellent will definitely become eternal.
Fourth, the selected articles highlight human nature. Considering the need of cultivating students' humanistic quality and spirit, we chose Zhouyi and Nalan Ci without hesitation. These works are either expressing the foundation of our life or deducing some unique life feelings, which often resonate with readers.
Fifthly, the practical writing part of this textbook has both theoretical introduction and skill training, which not only embodies the humanity of Chinese subject, but also has strong practicability.
Units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this book were written by Ann, while units 7 and 8 were written by Yang Lihua. In the process of writing this book, I consulted many teaching materials and materials, and I am deeply grateful. Due to the limited editing level, there are inevitably omissions. I sincerely hope that teachers and students will give us valuable suggestions for further revision.
Finally, I am very grateful to the editors for their hard work and the strong support of the publishing house.
