As a fan of online literature, I'm very happy to be able to help you. The General Theory of Modern Chinese and the History of Modern Chinese Literature were two very important courses in the Chinese Language and Literature major. They involved all aspects of Chinese and Chinese literature. Modern Chinese General Theory mainly studies the language, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and tone of Chinese, as well as the application and influence of Chinese in the world. This course may involve some ancient Chinese and classical Chinese, so if you have a certain understanding of ancient Chinese, it may be easier to understand. The history of modern Chinese literature mainly studied the development and characteristics of modern Chinese literature, including the works of famous writers such as Lu Xun, Lao She, Mao Dun, and Zhang Ailing. This course may involve some modern and contemporary literature, so if you have a certain understanding of modern and contemporary literature, it may be easier to understand. In addition, you can try to take some notes during the lecture to record the content that you don't understand or ask the teacher or classmates for advice. Reading more related books and articles would also help to better understand the course content. Chinese Language and Literature is a major that requires constant accumulation and learning. I hope you can achieve good results in the course and explore this field in depth.
