Classical Chinese is the carrier of China's cultural accumulation for thousands of years. By studying classical Chinese, we can broaden our horizons and cultivate our own cultural heritage. Chinese civilization is continuous and Chinese culture is integrated. A lot of knowledge we need now can be found in ancient books. If you don't know anything about classical Chinese, you can't study deeply at all. And classical Chinese is not for people who study liberal arts. For example, if you want to be a physicist, there is a lot of physical knowledge in ancient literature, which is recorded in the form of prose or notebook novels. You need to refer to these documents, but no one will help you translate ready-made modern Chinese, so you can only read ancient Chinese with ancient books. For example, if you want to be an entrepreneur, there are many management philosophies to learn from in ancient times. You need to learn ancient books. Isn't it miserable not to know classical Chinese?
From the perspective of personal cultivation, learning classical Chinese can improve one's quality, deepen one's thoughts, and have an impact on one's temperament and attitude towards life.
So, if you are interested, study hard. If you are not interested, at least lay a foundation. It will come in handy one day.
2. What is the importance of ancient classical Chinese in China? Classical Chinese is a language with a history of thousands of years, while vernacular Chinese is a language with a short history.
Classical Chinese has accumulated a lot of expressive allusions, vocabulary and words in the historical development of thousands of years, but it has only been a hundred years since the birth of the May 4th Movement. The vernacular Chinese has not yet created its own "brilliant" and "rich" historical "accumulation". Vernacular Chinese basically comes from classical Chinese. Today, the basic vocabulary of vernacular Chinese is almost attached to and born out of classical Chinese, and the grammar of vernacular Chinese has not surpassed classical Chinese.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, the relationship between classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese is a mother and a son, and a book is in the end. In the "language sensitive period" of children, people start to learn language from the "root", read and recite a certain number of ancient poems and prose, lay a solid foundation in classical Chinese, and then express it in vernacular Chinese. Then, the written words will be concise, clean, pure, elegant, vivid and vivid; On the contrary, learning to use vernacular Chinese is difficult to reach the above level, but it may be procrastinating, lengthy, cumbersome, Europeanized, verbose and abstract.

3. The more classical Chinese explanations (write whatever you can), the better. Write classical Chinese before translating/Key words/A basic method: literal translation and free translation. There are two basic methods to translate classical Chinese. The so-called literal translation refers to the word-for-word translation of the original text with modern Chinese words, so that the content words and function words are as relative as possible. The advantage of literal translation is the implementation of each word; Its disadvantage is that sometimes the meaning of the translated sentence is difficult to understand and the language is not fluent enough. The so-called free translation means translating according to the meaning of the sentence, conforming to the original intention as much as possible, and taking care of the original intention as much as possible. Free translation has certain flexibility, which can add or subtract words, change the position of words and change sentence patterns. The advantage of free translation is that the meaning is coherent, and the translation conforms to the expression habits of modern languages. It is fluent, fluent and easy to understand. Its disadvantage is that sometimes the original text cannot be realized word for word. These two translation methods should be literal translation, supplemented by free translation. The specific methods are: leave, delete, supplement, modify, adjust and modify. "Stay" means stay. All words with the same meaning in ancient and modern times, as well as ancient names of people, places, things, officials, countries and years. That is, delete. Delete function words that do not need to be translated in classical Chinese. For example, "Pei Gong joined Fan Kuai"-Fan Kuai, Pei Gong's bodyguard. "Zheye" is an ending auxiliary word, and "complement" is addition. (1) Turn monosyllabic words into disyllabic words; (2) make up the omitted elements in the ellipsis sentence; (3) Make up the omitted sentences. Note: Fill in the omitted components or sentences with brackets. "Change" means replacement. Replace ancient words with modern words. For example, replace "I" with "I" and "er, such as" with "you". "Adjustment" means adjustment. Invert ancient Chinese. In order to conform to the expression habits of modern Chinese, "change" means flexibility. On the basis of being faithful to the original text, related words can be vivid, such as "no smoke without waves" and "lake calm". Understand the theme first, collect information, understand all paragraphs to sentences, clauses to words, and deal with difficult sentences coherently, so you need to be careful, take care of the previous paragraphs, connect with the following sentences, carefully consider the tone, be as reasonable as possible, and have close ties between words. If there are omissions, brackets indicate the gain. Names and place names don't need to be translated, just personal titles. There are rules. Content words and function words are explained together with the text, which makes the sense of language sensitive and varies from sentence to sentence. After the translation, be sure to compare carefully sentence by sentence, understand the tone and fluency of the sentence, and then stop writing. You should also thoroughly understand the explanation of each function word, which is basic, just like reading an article. If there are many words you don't know in this article, then you must have a little knowledge or don't understand. I think our classmates are now. Take a look at the rest of the time, mark the real function words that can't be used with a pen and recite them. Next, I will explain the reading methods and problem-solving skills of classical Chinese. First, we should master the correct reading method of classical Chinese. As we all know, due to the limitation of time and space, the exam has the particularity of solving problems independently without any reference books, so many students are nervous and get classical Chinese materials. I often read it once and choose the answer. In fact, this practice is very incorrect. As an exam-oriented reading of classical Chinese, it should be carried out in three steps: the first step: reading the full text first means concentrating on calming down, browsing or skipping. In recent years, biographies of college entrance examinations have appeared. Read this article, you should know that there are several people, some people have simple relationships, and some people have complex relationships. Generally, there is a protagonist, and the protagonist has positive and negative points. Show a special character and character. This requires candidates to interpret the relationship between characters and appreciate their unique personality and character. The author writes a biography, either for some political needs or for personal purposes, to show the author's views and attitudes, and to ask candidates to analyze the basic contents of the biography and summarize the author's views and attitudes. Content: the materials involved are people and things, caring for each other and educating their children, and promoting national traditional virtues; Or ancient sages, diligent, honest, law enforcement, etc. It not only conforms to the traditional moral norms, but also has practical educational significance. You can understand 60% to 70% the first time. In the past, some candidates were too demanding of themselves when watching jokes. They are anxious when they don't understand the first time, and they are entangled in individual sentences. Every word has to get to the bottom of it, but it is difficult to understand its meaning. This situation is still very common among students. In fact, you should understand that the college entrance examination, as a selective examination, is not easy to understand at first glance. It is normal for you not to understand it the first time, so there is no need to be nervous about it. Step 2: Read the questions carefully. In this step, you must implement the corresponding positions of words, words, sentences and paragraphs in the material one by one. Generally speaking, apply what you have learned. Simple questions can basically be completed in this step. (Make full use of the given options, and choose the correct item by comparison and exclusion. At the same time, in this step, it is particularly important to use several questions to explain truthfully, translate sentences, analyze and summarize problems, etc. Because in them, you can get a lot of information about paragraph comprehension, especially multiple-choice questions (the following sentence is in line with the meaning or the following sentence is not in line with the meaning). This question contains a lot of information. Although there must be one or several items that don't meet the meaning of the question, the mistakes are often just minor problems. Therefore, after reading the last question, your grasp of the meaning of the text will be greatly improved on the basis of the first step. The third step: rereading the full text is to recognize the full text from a higher level, which is roughly equivalent to the level of intensive reading. It not only deepens the understanding of the meaning of the text, but also corrects the mistakes in the first two steps, so it is a process of in-depth review. After reading this step, it is easy to answer some comprehensive questions. It should be said that the three-step reading method of classical Chinese examination is a scientific and effective method summarized by many students in the college entrance examination, and students should master and use it in review. This can save a lot of detours.
