Today, liberal arts education in colleges and universities has achieved great success and gained a good reputation. However, with the progress of society, there are many problems in the development of liberal arts, not to mention its increasingly marginalized position. In the face of "competing for money every day" in science and engineering, the department of financial management has developed "riding the dust", while the humanities are in a bleak situation except for a few.

But after 20 19, the advocacy of new liberal arts is really refreshing.

Especially in the low tide of the global liberal arts, the advocacy issued by the Ministry of Education is definitely a bright color in the gloomy background. What is the new liberal arts? Generally speaking, on the basis of the original liberal arts education, it is intended to cultivate students' academic imagination and creative ability across science, engineering and medicine, so as to cultivate innovative talents in the future.

At present, many colleges and universities have responded to the call to actively build new liberal arts and strive to seize the opportunity in the new journey. For example, the School of Humanities of Guangzhou University is one of the most effective universities in the construction of new liberal arts. Guangzhou University Guangzhou, a provincial-level high-level construction university, is also a powerful reserve army in the "double first-class" construction project.

Founded in 1953, the School of Humanities and Arts has an excellent historical and cultural heritage and continues to deliver tens of thousands of outstanding humanities and social sciences talents to the society.

At present, the majority of humanities colleges adhere to the development concept of dislocation development in the mainstream and highlighting characteristics in the intersection, giving priority to the construction of "new normal" and "new liberal arts", highlighting the integration of normal, comprehensive and humanistic, and striving to cultivate compound innovative talents that meet the needs of local cultural and educational construction.

At the same time, in the process of vigorously developing the new liberal arts, the strength of Chinese language, literature and history in the majority of humanities colleges is also very good, which has attracted the attention of the majority of students.

The major of Chinese language and literature, founded in 1958, is one of the majors with the longest running history and the deepest accumulation. Relying on the strong discipline strength and academic platform of the school, this major has become a key major in Guangdong Province and has been rated as a national first-class undergraduate major construction point of the "Two Million Plan".

In the process of training, the school takes the training of Chinese teachers as its traditional advantage, and pays equal attention to the training of talents in drama, film and television, editing and publishing, Chinese communication and administrative secretarial work, and develops in a diversified way.

History major is also one of the best liberal arts majors, with first-class educational strength.

20 14 this major was identified as the pilot construction major of comprehensive reform in Guangdong province, and was approved as a national first-class major in 2020. In the ranking of soft science majors, it ranks among the top universities in China and has great advantages in applying for the exam.

The above two majors are both liberal arts majors worth applying for in Guangzhou University, and with the help of the new liberal arts strategy, the training schemes and advantages of these two majors are better than those of similar institutions.
