Abstract

This paper reviewed the 2015 revised textbook “Chinese Classics I” from a perspective of humanities and classic education related to the learning of scriptures and books of philosophers in middle school classical Chinese education. There are two issues. One is to examine the main points adopted by the textbook for the learning of scriptures and the Hundred Schools of Thought as an issue of value setting and review their suitability and meaningfulness from a perspective of humanities and classic education. The other is to examine whether the adopted contents are described in the textbook as proper points in a way suitable for the learning process. Thus, this paper restrained from analyzing the structure of the whole textbook or evaluating each aspect of the textbook but selected only the elements suitable and meaningful to the issues of the paper and looked into the potential of the learning of scriptures and books of philosophers as humanities and classic education. Especially since the main learning objective emphasized in the revised textbook, “to understand the knowledge and ideas of forefathers found in classical Chinese records and foster sound values and good character by internalizing what is valuable to today” is fully implemented in scriptures and books of philosophers among various genres of classical Chinese textbook, a review on the points of humanities and classic education through scriptures and books of philosophers can have enough feasibility. The potential of scriptures and books of philosophers as humanities and classic education is unlimited. The original nature of the material contains such potential, so depending on its application, one can review the old and learn the new. However, it is clear that a profound examination of the content is needed as a premise of such potential. In this sense, profound research is still demanded.
