College entrance examination candidates online consultation: can you study Chinese language and literature in college, can you write novels after graduation?
The current college entrance examination volunteer filling is full of "reality", there are popular majors and unpopular majors, which is mainly based on the difficulty of employment and the degree of "knowledge can be realized" to divide.
Of course, this is also beyond reproach, after all, most of our ordinary students, after so many years of study, suffered so many years, the pursuit is to find a good job after graduating from college, nothing more.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > the ambition of college entrance exam students: write novels and become writers</h1>
Seeing a student netizen consulting online, she said that she volunteered to fill in the college entrance examination for the "Chinese language and literature" major of a normal school, and her ideal was to earn money by writing full-time at home after graduating from college.
She asked on the Internet: Study Chinese language and literature, can you become a writer after graduation?
Let's talk about this major here, is Chinese language and literature a popular major?
Judging from the current view of the career choice of graduates, it is obvious that all teacher training majors should not belong to "hot majors".
At that time, if we narrowed the scope to the teacher training major, then Chinese language and literature should be regarded as a relatively "popular" major.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" what do > Chinese language and literature mainly learn? </h1>
So, does the Chinese language and literature major teach students to write novels? Let's first talk about what this major learns.
Chinese language and literature, as the name suggests, is mainly to learn the two major plates of "language" and "literature" in China. Because the actual situation of each school is different, the courses offered by the major may be different, and the editor will only briefly talk about his own understanding.
I. Required Courses: "Literature" and "Language":
The "Literature" section generally offers the following courses: Ancient Chinese Literature, Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature, Foreign Literature, Introduction to Literature, etc.
The courses offered in the "Language" section are generally as follows: Ancient Chinese, Modern Chinese, Introduction to Language, etc.
Second, the professional elective courses, due to the different levels of each school, the courses offered are also different, roughly as follows:
Exegesis, Sociolinguistics, Literary aesthetics, Western literary theory, Principles of Comparative Literature, History of Chinese Literary Criticism, Selective Reading of Classic Texts, Dramatic Literature, Film and Television Literature, etc.
Third, the public basic course, that is, the "public course" to be studied in each major of the university, generally has:
Courses in ideological and political theory, university foreign languages, computer fundamentals, physical education, military theory and military training, etc.
So, doesn't the Chinese language and literature major teach "writing"? The answer is no.
"College Writing" is also a compulsory course for Chinese language and literature majors, so will it make students become writers?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" > Professor of Peking University: We do not train writers</h1>
Since "college writing" is a course that teaches Chinese language and literature students to write, isn't it teaching students to write novels?
The first thing we have to understand is that the "writing" class does not last four years of undergraduate education, but only a one-semester course.
There are three main contents taught in the university writing institute: theories related to writing, writing methods for literary works, and practical writing methods. Simply put, "college writing" pays more attention to the teaching of writing-related theories, rather than focusing on the practice and practice of writing.
Second, do you think that the course of the last semester alone can raise a student's writing level to the level of "writer" or even "writer"?
Professor Yang Han of the Department of Chinese of Peking University once "declared" in class: This major does not train any writers, please have this idea of students immediately change departments.

Of course, this is not to say that reading "Chinese language and literature" majors can not become "writers" and "writers", but that the two are not strongly related, if you do not believe it, we can check how many writers are from Chinese departments.
Of course, if you originally love to write, have a talent for writing, coupled with reading a lot of books during college, practice more pen, after graduation, you can at least become a "writer", write novels, etc., it is not impossible to become a writer after a few years.
So, what can Chinese language and literature students do after graduation? Why did you say earlier that this major is a popular major in the teacher training category?
First, you can get a teacher qualification certificate during college, and you can consider becoming a language teacher after graduation. Chinese is the main subject from primary school to high school, and the demand for language teachers is still relatively large.
Second, if the writing skills are good, you can go to the relevant company to apply for editing, copywriting, enterprise publicity and other positions.
3. Examination for civil servants. At the moment when the examination for civil servants is sought after, it is still relatively advantageous to study Chinese language and literature to take the civil service examination: First, there are more related posts, and second, there are still some natural advantages in the examination, especially in the examination of the "Shen Theory" subject.

In short, the "Chinese language and literature" major is still a relatively good major in the normal colleges, if the candidate has relevant interests, hobbies and career directions, this is a recommended major.
Candidates who want to work in writing after graduation can also consider this major, but please understand that "Chinese department is not the place to train writers".
