Course Catalog Description:: Classical Chinese, or literary Chinese, was the formal written language in China until the early 20th century, and also, during various periods, in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. It is closely related to the modern Chinese language, especially for formal writing, and its literary heritage has laid the cornerstone of Chinese cultural values and worldviews. This class guides the students to comprehend the linguistic and cultural characteristics of classical Chinese, and introduces them to key aspects of the tradition. The prerequisite is third year of Chinese (CHN 3032/4008) or above. Please note that this is a bilingual class: Tuesday's class is conducted in English and Thursday's class is conducted in (modern Mandarin) Chinese.
Class Description:: Student may contact the instructor or department for information.
