Description
Mastering Advanced Modern Chinese through the Classics is a textbook to teach those who wish to achieve an advanced or native proficiency and cultural competence in modern Chinese, as well as to experience the beauty of Classical Chinese literature.
Collecting representative works containing vibrant views of Chinese culture from different dynasties, this book is focused on how the grammatical patterns, vocabulary, and idioms that are found in Classical Chinese are relevant in the modern adaptation of the language, and how the accumulated traditional values and beliefs found there still shape the thinking and lifestyle of modern society.
Online resources including audio, answer keys, and instructor aids will be part of the teaching package.

Reviews / Votes
"Mastering Advanced Modern Chinese through the Classics fills the gap in teaching Chinese as a second language by providing well-designed lessons that make the study of Classical Chinese accessible. The linguistic and cultural knowledge presented in this book is indispensable for all learners of Chinese."Ying-Che Li, Professor Emeritus, University of Hawaii, USA
"Due to lack of suitable teaching material, Classical or Literary Chinese has become a subject unavoidable for learners and intractable for teachers of Chinese. By means of balancing between breadth and depth; connecting the past to the present; and integrating the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing; this book has successfully alleviated this difficulty faced by learners and teachers."
Yubian Ma, Zhengzhou University, China
