What is the talent training goal of Wuhan University National College?

The National College of Wuhan University takes cultivating the seeds of Chinese studies as its sole purpose or goal. The motto of the college is taken from The Analects of Confucius, which reads: "Take Tao as the goal, rely on morality, rely on benevolence, and swim in art."

Wudaguo University is the only teaching and research institution in Chinese mainland that has a complete training system for undergraduate, master and doctoral students studying in China.

Cultivation of undergraduate talents in China

Continuous enrollment of experimental classes of Chinese studies 1 1 year. The purpose of this class is to cultivate a group of compound talents who have a deep understanding of China's traditional classics, history, primary schools, literature, basic classics and scholarship, can read China's classical literature skillfully, master at least two foreign languages, and are familiar with the humanistic trend of thought in today's world. From 20 10 to 12, the major of "China Studies" was included in the "Experimental Plan for Training Top-notch Students in Basic Subjects" of Wuhan University, and the China class of "Hongyi Academy" was established. This class adheres to the educational philosophy of "basing on classics, returning to tradition and facing modernity" and the tradition of "paying equal attention to knowledge and value" and pursuing academic elite education. More than 50% graduates of the experimental class of Chinese studies can study for a master's degree or continue to study for a master's degree without examination.

The experimental class of Chinese studies of Wuhan University explores a new way to cultivate humanistic talents, and takes into account the reading and discussion methods guided by tutors from China Ancient Academy and Oxford and Cambridge in the teaching mode. Try to use the original book directly in the selection of teaching materials; The examination method adopts the combination of closed book and course paper writing; Teachers should be employed in a flexible way as far as possible, inviting famous teachers inside and outside the school and at home and abroad to teach or hold special lectures.

The main courses of the experimental class of undergraduate Chinese studies include: General Theory of Chinese Studies, Methodology of Chinese Studies, Classical Bibliography, Four Books Research, Book of Changes (including Chuci) Research, Book of Changes Research, Historical Records Research, Lao Zi Research, Xunzi Research, Selected Works Research, Wen Xin Diao Long Research, Exegetical Reading Guidance, Elegant Reading Guidance, Historical and Social Theory, Philology and Phonology. Textual research in Qing Dynasty, overseas China studies, history of Christian thought, Indian Buddhism and early classics, history of China philosophy, history of western philosophy, introduction to logic, and English, Japanese, calligraphy and other courses.

Master's and doctoral training

The establishment of experimental classes for undergraduate students of Chinese studies is a useful attempt to train talents of Chinese studies in Chinese universities, and it is also a powerful measure to train interdisciplinary talents. However, due to the characteristics of Chinese studies, students' learning and research also has its specific systematicness and continuity, so it is impossible to do it overnight during the undergraduate period. In order to further promote the research and teaching of China studies and provide a professional platform for students who are interested in China studies, at the end of 2007, Wuhan University added its own master's degree and doctoral degree program in China studies, which was reported to the the State Council Academic Degrees Committee for the record in 2008 and officially enrolled students in 2009. At present, there are: 1, the research direction of Confucian classics; 2. The research direction of sub-science; 3. Research direction of historical classics; 4. The research direction of Ji Bu; 5. Research direction of Buddhism and Taoism. The characteristics of the master's and doctor's programs of China in Wuhan University are mainly manifested in two aspects:

First, interdisciplinary. In setting the research direction and allocating teachers, we strive to break the original restrictions on the division of literature, history and philosophy. According to the characteristics of Chinese studies, we have initially determined five research directions, which span literature, history, philosophy, religion, art and martial arts, and have realized the real interdisciplinary integration. In terms of teachers, the school has organized powerful experts to serve as master's and doctoral tutors in the national studies program, and plans to further hire well-known experts at home and abroad to join the doctoral program for joint guidance. It is also planned to adopt an appropriate "going out" approach to master's and doctoral students and strengthen inter-school and international student exchanges.

Second, emphasize the creative interpretation of the original classics. Original classics are the source for us to study the vitality and creativity of Chinese studies. On the basis of emphasizing the training of primary schools and ancient documents, master students and doctoral students of Chinese studies plan to strengthen the methodological training of foreign languages, Chinese and foreign academic research and creative interpretation of China classics, attach importance to the discussion of overseas China studies, and attach importance to inspiring students' problem consciousness and cultivating students' creative interpretation and discussion ability.
