First of all, you should be clear about what the Chinese Department is studying and what the future will be like. The full name of Chinese Department is China Language and Literature Department, which is a large department with wide coverage and strong comprehensiveness.
What does the Chinese department study? Is it difficult? The content and emphasis of Chinese departments in colleges and universities are different. At the undergraduate stage, the basic contents include the history of ancient literature, the history of modern and contemporary literature, the history of foreign literature, ancient Chinese, modern Chinese, literary theory, comparative literature and so on.
For most people, the history of literature, as a basic knowledge, is relatively simple, mainly to understand the literary situation and development of China in various periods, and then read a lot of famous works. However, literary theory, comparative literature, ancient Chinese and other theoretical contents are difficult for most people and require strong logical analysis and understanding.
So the Chinese department is not so studious. Frankly speaking, no one can master all the fields of Chinese Department. Those celebrities all choose a branch of the Chinese Department to develop. As long as you know a language and literature thoroughly, you will be great.
So what is the way out after studying Chinese Department? The most direct way out is to engage in academics, become a scholar in a branch of the Chinese Department, and stay in colleges and universities to engage in academic teaching and research. Of course, I believe that many people who study Chinese have a greater feeling, that is, they love writing and literature. All students in China have a writer's dream. Unfortunately, there are not many well-known writers in the Chinese Department. In addition, I can work as a writer in the future, such as editor, reporter, secretary and clerk.
Secondly, when studying Chinese Department, we should understand why and how to study this major. Is it a writer's dream, an academic dream, or interested in writing such as editing and publishing? Only by understanding this, can you choose the correct learning direction and focus. As I said before, the scope of Chinese department is too large, so we should focus on one branch according to our own needs when studying.
How to study? For example, if you want to be a writer, you should learn a lot of famous works and pay attention to writing practice. In addition, you should dabble in books in other professional fields and increase your knowledge reserve. You can get the goods when you write this way. If you want to engage in academic research, choose a field, such as literature history research and language research. Those who like to write literary criticism can specialize in literature and art and focus on literary theory and other theoretical courses. If you want to be an editor-secretary writer, you should focus on modern Chinese, official document writing, philology and other courses.
Finally, I recommend several universities with strong Chinese departments, such as Peking University, Wuhan University, Nankai University and Sichuan University.
In short, the Chinese department is too broad, and it is really too difficult to learn all of it. However, if you have a focus and a goal, make your own study plan and find a learning method, you will be very comfortable and fruitful.

On this issue, more consultation can be privately trusted to the author, who will answer patiently and do everything well.
The following are some suggestions from Mr. Li Qian about learning Chinese Department.
There are three misunderstandings in reading Chinese Department, then I will talk to you about some misunderstandings about Chinese Department.
The first misunderstanding is that it is particularly easy for you to learn Chinese. When you study Chinese, you want to say that your department is full-time reading novels. How easy it is to read casually and pass the exam easily.
What I want to tell you is that the Chinese department is by no means as simple as reading novels. Even the imaginary field called reading novels may be defined in courses such as literature history. If you study Chinese Department, you will basically include the history of ancient Chinese literature, the history of modern literature in China and modern literature in China as compulsory courses for undergraduate students.
This course will involve a lot of reading, because China is such a long country, we have a long history of written records, and we have a very long history of written documents. Therefore, a history of China literature may have to catch up with the Book of Songs and even the previous times, and get Mo Yan all the way from Nobel Prize in Literature. Today, it is a long journey of thousands of years.
My major is linguistics. In fact, even if you are not majoring in linguistics, the undergraduate course of Chinese Department must have three basic courses: Modern Chinese, Ancient Chinese and Introduction to Linguistics. So this is the Department of Language and Literature in China, and the language part is also a very solid course, which lays a solid foundation for China students. So the Chinese department is not so easy to read at all.
Two days ago, our reporter Huai Sha asked me, and he said, why did you choose linguistics as your major? I only answered one word, difficult.
Because I think linguistics is a major with high potential, our major will not only study literature-related courses, but also learn a lot of linguistics courses, and even involve acoustics, sociology and anthropology, including my own major, and go out to do field research.
So the Chinese department is not so easy to read, not easy at all.
The second problem may be that many people think the Chinese department is useless. Many people think that China people who can't speak Chinese? What else is there to read in Chinese? The Chinese department is of great use. I'm just sharing my professional experience. You will see that all these professional experiences are constantly changing, no matter what I do or how I work, including whether in new media or old media.
But what runs through it and hasn't changed? But I think I have developed a very strong reading ability and a habit of writing in the Chinese Department.
In my last three years' work, I have basically contributed articles for editing every year, and I think it is more than 654.38+00,000 words every year. I didn't read it casually, but I had to read every word carefully. My manuscript as a content editor is 6.5438+0 million words.
Such a large workload actually requires a person to have a very strong reading ability, understand others from reading and quickly grasp the core content, and this ability was developed in my years of training in the Chinese Department.
Another is the habit of writing. When I was young, you thought you were studying Chinese and came in with a so-called literary dream, but not all Chinese learners could get into the habit of how many words I wrote every day.
This is a long-term effort. After this kind of effort reaches a certain level, whether it's revising or expressing yourself, this time will be shortened and will become very fast.
So, I want to know if the Chinese Department is useful. What's the use of Chinese department? In fact, as long as you have very good reading and writing skills in today's society, your future will be very broad.
As I said, when I was studying in the Chinese Department, how did I know I would get such a job? But today, I love my job very much, and I have gained endless intellectual pleasure in this job. Moreover, the fun of this knowledge is not limited to the narrow part of the Chinese department as you think. I can read a lot of history, politics and various courses, and I will also serve the very hard-core partial engineering content including probability theory and algorithm.
As we all know, I am the editor-in-chief of the course "Reading and Writing in Wu Jun" taught by Mr. Wu Jun, which is a great one for me to apply my major and my accumulated practice for many years to this course and serve our users well. I feel that I have accumulated so much, and I am very happy in this class today.
Speaking of the third misunderstanding about the Chinese department, I think people in the Chinese department are lofty. Sublime may be a polite expression. It is impolite not to eat fireworks. You have nothing to do with the real society.
Needless to say, look at me. I believe I am a person who many colleagues in the company are willing to play with me and consult me about anything. Including organizing the company's fourth anniversary group building activities a few days ago, as well as colleagues. I didn't expect it myself, including three back-end engineers.
I think this is the charm of studying Chinese. This charm does not mean that my personal charm lies in this, but to a great extent, it is the Chinese department. We read Chinese and read so many literary works, which actually greatly promotes people's empathy.
Everyone can only live a lifetime. Young colleagues often ask me, chef, you are so much older than me. I can't know so many people and have so much work experience like you. How to improve empathy?
I have always suggested that maybe if you read novels, you can learn from other people's novels. Isn't that what he simulated the lives of many people?
By looking at other people's lives, you can improve yourself, just like imitating yourself and living for more than ten lifetimes. In this way, it is actually because of your infiltration in the Chinese department that you have the ability to understand others and the growth of empathy. I believe that in today's business society, it is very important to treat people, including your ability to deal with family relations.
Learn the advantages of Chinese department, so I will make a general explanation on three misunderstandings about Chinese department here. What I just said was a misunderstanding. What are the advantages of learning Chinese?
The first advantage is that, as I said just now, the Chinese Department offers unlimited possibilities, and it cultivates an open self.
I want to emphasize the second point again. You are from China. If you live in China, it provides you with the possibility of the widest contact with the cultural matrix of China.
As I just said, China is a country with a history of 5,000 years. We have a long history of writing, so we have produced a large number of cultural symbols. Some of these symbols are written in written language, some people understand them, and some people don't. But today, with the promotion of China's overall international status, including the enhancement of national self-confidence, I think everyone will know how important our cultural matrix is to us today.
This is not just a question of your national self-confidence. In the future, many businesses, ideas and ideas will grow from this deep-rooted tree. The Chinese Department is a river wide enough and a long enough road.
We have such a knowledge that classicism has been developed to linguistics, including the subject system of modern western science. Including literature, we have a very long literary tradition, but if we study the history of literature today, we also need to respond to the trend of modern literary research.
Therefore, this is an ancient and modern field, with a long way to go. If you are in this field, you may dig deep and dig to a point that interests you. You can be a scholar, a researcher, or browse without digging deep, and then you will form a broad chassis for yourself.
Because you are an open self, it means that you have countless outlets, and you can more easily get in touch with those career opportunities that we have no idea may come in the future.
So what I really tell you is what kind of benefits the Chinese department has for individuals.
Finally, I want to say a little more. Personally, I think reading Chinese Department is such a major, which can improve people's happiness in life.
I have read an American survey. There are English departments in the United States, and the average income of English department students may be slightly lower than the median, but they have also investigated that the life satisfaction of English department students is much higher than that of ordinary professional students, and they can even rank in the top five.
Anyway, I use my own life practice to prove that people who learn Chinese have high life satisfaction and happiness. I believe this is because reading Chinese has cultivated my aesthetic ability and sensibility.
How to read Chinese well? Speaking of now, I may want to give some students who want to learn Chinese department and may have some ideas about it, that is, how to learn Chinese department well.
To tell the truth, it is easy to study and get a diploma, but to really study for a master's degree, let's be practical. What should I do to enter the university? Let me give you some advice.
The first is to attach importance to the history of literature. You love reading novels and poems, but the Chinese Department provides a whole set of education about the history of China literature, from ancient times to modern times, which is to help you build an overview of the overall structure of China literature.
This is actually an academic tradition with a very logical and rational analysis, so we should pay attention to the course of literary history, not just immerse ourselves in a writer or a work you love.
The second is to read as many ancient books as possible. Because there is nothing else, but ancient books are more difficult. You can go to the pre-Qin period, read a hundred schools, read historical records and read the following things. Looking back, you can see that the modern scripts of Song and Yuan Dynasties and novels of Ming and Qing Dynasties are very easy to read, but you said that I was only interested in Ming and Qing Dynasties and didn't move forward. You didn't do well in this training. Sorry, it may be difficult to make up this course in the future.
The third suggestion is not to skip the linguistics course. Perhaps many people who have attended the Chinese Department think that I came here with a dream of literature. Linguistics course is so boring that I don't like it. If I can escape, I will. The same is true of my classmates, but my advice to you is never to skip the linguistics course.
In China, linguistics is not an independent department, but in my opinion, linguistics is a rare professional course with high potential in liberal arts. If you write down these courses, it will be of great help to your logical thinking, including drawing conclusions from the materials you combed, including your interpretation from facts to opinions. So I suggest you never skip linguistics class.
The last two suggestions are actually related to writing, that is, joining the Chinese Department and persisting in writing in the surrounding environment. In fact, I know that the Chinese Department of Sun Yat-sen University has a particularly good tradition. It should be the first year of school, and everyone is required to hand in 100 short compositions or something like reading notes. Anyway, write 100 articles no matter what you write, and write a certain amount.
In fact, you can keep writing every day. As long as we persist for a long time and accumulate enough, we will achieve qualitative change.
Finally, the changes of the times. For example, we used to keep our own diaries, and later began to contribute to newspapers and magazines.
It doesn't matter whether you are employed by newspapers and magazines now. You can start your own self-media service. Why do we have to register for self-media services?
That is, you have someone to breathe and breathe with the world. When your words come out, someone will give you feedback, even if there is no feedback, it is also called feedback. You will improve your writing ability through constant feedback.

Seriously, everything is easy.
I'm knife elder brother, and I'll answer. Is the Chinese department difficult to learn? I can tell you for sure that difficulties and difficulties need to be treated dialectically.
It can be considered that the Chinese department is very studious. The full name of Chinese Department is China Language and Literature Department. As the name implies, the courses of Chinese Department are divided into two parts: language and literature. Language is difficult to learn, but English, Japanese and French are not. However, if you want to learn Chinese that you can speak since childhood, I can tell you for sure that it is not difficult.
Another part of the Chinese Department is literature. Is literature easy to learn? When I was in primary school, I began to learn Chinese, and I also began to learn Tang poetry. In middle school, you can read novels. If you like reading novels, your literature class will be very interesting. The so-called literature class is to study literary classics at all times and in all countries, which is not much different from reading literary works. For many people, reading literary works is a kind of rest. So for those who are interested, taking a literature class is tantamount to taking a rest. This is not difficult in itself.
On the other hand, I must tell you. Chinese department is difficult to learn. It is difficult to learn because it is difficult to learn well.
I still speak from the perspective of language and literature. Among languages, the language part is easy to learn now, while the ancient Chinese part is not easy to learn. This involves philology and exegetics. In ancient times, each Chinese character was written in a different way. Oracle Bone Inscriptions's bronze inscriptions need to remember many things and read many ancient books. Many of those books are boring.
Let's talk about literature for literary works, although junior high school students can also read them. And 1000 readers have 1000 hamlets. However, different hamlets can show different levels. If you want to thoroughly understand the students of literary theory, you must work hard. Moreover, the development of literary theory and philosophy is very close. Every philosophical trend of thought will form a new literary theory. The system of literary theory is very huge. The above is one aspect. The number of literary works in ancient and modern China and abroad is also very complicated. Not everyone can read all the classic literary works all his life. I can't understand China's classic literary works, let alone foreign ones. The theory is very complicated, and the works are also very complicated. What do we do? On the one hand, we need teachers' guidance, but there is only one way to do it. There is a road in the mountain of books, but there is no limit to learning the sea.
The difficulty and difficulty of learning Chinese department is roughly like this. It is said that the Chinese department is difficult to learn, which is roughly the case of master students and doctoral students. For undergraduates, the Chinese Department is quite comfortable. In my impression, ancient Chinese in language courses is a bit difficult. Ancient literature in literature class is a bit difficult. Other courses, such as introduction to culture, introduction to aesthetics, introduction to linguistics, logic, official document writing, film and television criticism writing, are simply side dishes.
If you like the Chinese department, choose it boldly. It's really a very good major. Chinese department students are very open-minded in employment. The society also has a great demand for Chinese department graduates. Students of Chinese Department can learn a lot in four years if they are willing to work hard. At least you can recite a lot of ancient prose and poems. This kind of learning is accumulated, and it is difficult to get it again after a certain age.
First of all, the Chinese Department is divided into literature and art, China ancient literature, China modern and contemporary literature, comparative literature and world literature, Chinese philology, linguistics and applied linguistics, China classical philology, drama, film and television literature, subject teaching (Chinese), curriculum and teaching theory (Chinese teaching direction) and so on.
Is it difficult to learn Chinese?
Basic contents of undergraduate course, history of ancient literature, history of modern and contemporary literature, history of foreign literature, ancient Chinese, modern Chinese, literary theory, comparative literature, general outline and so on. If it's for exams, recitation and hard work, it's not a big problem, but it still takes some effort to study in depth. Endorsement theory is dead knowledge, which can only be mastered by learning with your own understanding.
What can I do after studying?
How to study?
If you really become a writer, I don't think it has anything to do with writing. First of all, you should read famous books, and it is best to be a secretary in other fields. Choose a field to concentrate on, read novels when writing novels and read history if you like. Learning the theoretical knowledge of Chinese department can only improve the writing style and understand the norms, but to really write a good article, you must have rich experience and imagination. It has nothing to do with the major, in one word: writing. See what you have learned and done.
The better Chinese department universities in China are: Peking University, Beijing Normal University, Fudan University, Nandujing University, Shandong University, Central China Normal University, East China Normal University, Zhejiang University, Sun Yat-sen University, Nankai University, Wuda University, National People's Congress, Bu Zhi Normal University, Nanjing Normal University, Jilin University, Shanghai Normal University, Suzhou University, Jinan University and Shaanxi Normal University. Choosing a Chinese department university depends on both the school and the faculty.
If you like it, you won't feel difficult;
If you don't like it, it must be very difficult!
