For beginners of classical Chinese, the book was a rather helpful book. This book was written by Professor Han Shunping of Peking University. It systematically introduced the basic concepts and grammar structures of classical Chinese and explained them with a large number of examples. The content of the book is concise and easy to understand. At the same time, there are detailed notes and translation to help readers better grasp the use of classical Chinese. In addition," The Basic Course of Classic Chinese " was also suitable for classical Chinese enthusiasts and beginners. It played an important role in improving the level of classical Chinese.
I'm sorry, but there's no universal answer to "the best Chinese classical novel" because everyone has a different definition and understanding of "the best". However, I can recommend you according to your interests. For example, the historical novel "Marquis of the Great Han Dynasty" tells the story of modern people traveling back to the Han Dynasty with ancient China as the background, and the ancient romance novel "Jinxiu Medical Concubine" tells the story of a female medical talent who became a court doctor. If you are interested in Xianxia fantasy novels, then "Phantom Rain" is a novel worth reading. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
The classical Chinese was a form of written language in ancient China. Its characteristics were concise and concise, beautiful rhyme and rigorous diction. In classical Chinese, the writing form and pronunciation of Chinese characters had their own unique characteristics. For example, the system of writing and transportation were written and transported according to a unified standard, which ensured the unity and stability of classical Chinese. In addition, the grammar and sentence structure of classical Chinese are also very rigorous, paying attention to the norms of grammar structure and sentence structure, which helps to express thoughts and feelings and shape the image. As a beautiful form of language, classical Chinese has a unique charm, which has important application value in literature, history, philology and other fields.
The collection of Chinese classical literature was very rich. There were different bookstores and online stores in different cities and regions. The following are some of the more complete Chinese classical literature collections that I know: 1. Buy online: You can find sellers of all kinds of Chinese classical literature collections on Chinese e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, Tmall.com, and Jingdong. The sellers on these platforms would provide various versions of books, including ancient classics such as Dream of the Red Chamber, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Water Margins. [2. Buying offline: You can go to local cultural institutions, bookstores, libraries, and other places to buy.] These places usually had collections of Chinese classical literature on display and sale, but one had to book in advance or ask if they had stock. 3. Overseas purchases: Some overseas bookstores and libraries also provide the purchase service of Chinese classical literature collections. You can search online or consult relevant institutions to understand the specific situation. It is important to note that different versions of books may have different prices and discounts. You need to compare and consult carefully before buying. At the same time, due to the complexity of the copyright of Chinese classical literature books, one had to be cautious when purchasing them.
It was a complicated question whether the Chinese characters were accurately expressed in classical Chinese or vernacular Chinese. Both classical Chinese and vernacular Chinese had their own advantages and disadvantages. The expression of classical Chinese was more rigorous and focused on the accuracy of grammar and words to express more complicated meanings. However, the expression of classical Chinese is more difficult to understand, especially in modern Chinese, it is no longer widely used. In contrast, the expression of the vernacular was more easy to understand, focusing on the use of spoken language and slang, which could better adapt to the fast pace and variety of modern society. However, the grammar and wording of vernacular Chinese were sometimes not precise enough, which might lose the accuracy of some classical Chinese expressions. Therefore, the choice of text expression needed to be based on different scenarios and needs. In some important occasions, such as official documents, academic papers, etc., classical Chinese should be used to express themselves, while in easy-to-understand occasions, such as news reports, novels, movies, etc., vernacular should be used to express themselves.
Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is a famous work of ancient Chinese literature. There are many classical Chinese versions, and the translation and proofreading of different publishing houses are also different. The following are a few well-known publishing houses: 1 Zhonghua Bookstore: This publishing house has collected more versions of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. The translation and proofreading are more accurate and the published versions are more abundant. 2. Ancient Books Press: This press's version of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is relatively new, and the translation and proofreading are more detailed, but some chapters will be deleted. 3. Peking University Press: The edition of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is more classic. The translation and proofreading are also more accurate, but some chapters will be deleted. It was suggested that readers should first understand the reputation and evaluation of the publishing house before choosing the version according to their own needs and preferences. At the same time, he could also compare the differences between different versions to find the most suitable version for himself.
Because Elizabeth in Pride and Predict was a fictional character, it could not be directly compared with the image in Chinese classical novels. However, if one considered Elizabeth's image and characteristics in literature and culture, one might think that Elizabeth's image in Chinese culture was more similar. Elizabeth was a very smart, independent, brave, and principled woman in Pride and Predict. She respected knowledge, valued morality, and opposed prejudice, which was similar to the values emphasized in traditional Chinese culture. In addition, the image of Elizabeth in the novel also reflected some cultural characteristics of the British society at that time, such as the equal status of men and women, the emphasis on loyalty and love in marriage, etc. In contrast, the images in Chinese classical novels were more complex and diverse, such as Lin Daiyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber" and Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West". These characters had unique personalities and characteristics, which were quite different from Elizabeth's image in Pride and Predict.
