A Study on the Selection and Use of Classical Literature in Partially Compiled High School Language Textbooks

Abstract

Classical literature, as an important part of Chinese excellent traditional culture, is the root and soul of the spirit of the Chinese nation, and the spiritual pillar for the Chinese nation to realize great rejuvenation. The language subject belongs to mother tongue education, and the preparation of selected texts and the practical use of language teaching materials play a crucial role in further inheriting and developing classical literature. In this paper, we analyze the high school language textbooks of the Ministry of Education, explore the selection and use of classical literature in the new textbooks, try to summarize the dilemmas faced by the teaching of classical literature in the use of the current textbooks of the Ministry of Education, and discuss the contemporary value of the classical literature in the textbooks, with examples of Lu Xun's selections as the main texts. The aim is to reflect on and propose ways to encourage students to better participate in reading and learning classic literature and to pass on the classics in the context of the use of the new textbook.
