Abstract

This study proposes a plan to utilize the titles and concepts & research content and methods of Chinese Graphology for effective Classical Chinese education, but in particular, the discussion was conducted focusing on the 「Classical Chinese Reading」 subject newly established in the 2022 revised Classical Chinese curriculum. As one of the ways to effectively and smoothly educate the newly established 「Classical Chinese Reading」 subject, I emphasized the need to mobilize knowledge and research methodologies in various academic fields that use Classical Chinese as the subject text of research. For example, it is necessary to utilize knowledge and research methodologies in fields that can provide a material of writing when composing the 「Classical Chinese Reading」 subject, such as Literature, History, Philosophy, as well as in fields that can provide research methodology, such as Chinese Graphology, Philology, and Digital Humanities. Among them, this paper focused on Chinese Graphology, presented opinions on how these research contents and methods could be used for education in the 「Classical Chinese Reading」 subject. It suggested understanding Chinese character resources, using them for advice, and constructing and utilizing the ‘Stories of Chinese script culture’. It also presented opinions on the application of 1,800 basic Chinese characters for Classical Chinese education to be considered when implementing the 「Classical Chinese Reading」 education.
