The second phase of "Shandong University Professional Zero Distance" ushered in the College of Literature of Shandong University.
On April 3rd, Professor Ma Bing, Vice Dean of the College of Liberal Arts of Shandong University, was a guest of "Old Xu Saying High Moves", which not only comprehensively interpreted the talent training advantages and enrollment policies of Shandong University Chinese majors, but also answered the "soul torture" questions about Chinese majors.
Answer Chinese professional "soul torture"
"Useless is great"
Professor Ma Bing first answered the host's "soul torture" question about Chinese majors - what is the use of learning Chinese majors. He said, "Chinese major 'useful' or 'useless' needs to be looked at dialectically. To put it coolly, our profession is a useless profession, but it is also a 'useless is great' profession. ”
The full name of the Chinese major is "Chinese Chinese Language", including language and literature. Among them, literature includes literary history, introduction to literature, literary reading, literary creation, etc. "What is the use of literature? I think without literature, our lives would be much poorer. ”
"Literature is not like science, for example, the perception of water, science can give us a chemical composition of H2O. Literature's perception of water is multifaceted, such as 'the light rain on the sky street is as wet as crisp', which is the feeling of spring. When the early summer morning is sweltering, there is a sudden unexpected rain, and how literary works describe this rain is a feeling that belongs to literature. When we go to a scenic spot and see the magnificent mountains and rivers, there will be a kind of spontaneous poetry, and at this time we will chant a verse of the ancients, which is also a literary feeling. ”
As for "language", it is a communication tool. "Without language skills, there is no way for people to communicate with each other." Language, he says, is really about studying the various properties of language as a communicative and cultural tool, "for example, we will have modern Chinese, ancient Chinese, grammar, phonetic vocabulary, and so on." "Language and literature may seem useless, but in reality they are of great use."
He said that Chinese discipline is a very typical humanities discipline, and it really does not teach you some specific skills, "Chinese discipline is to cultivate a person's comprehensive humanistic literacy, or to cultivate a person's leadership." ”
"The ancient Chinese said that 'useless use is great use', and the West has a similar saying. Forster, former president of Harvard University in the United States, once revealed a data in a lecture that 70% of political and business leaders have a background in the humanities. She believes that the humanities have a very important role in the 'smoke' of these leaders, such as communication skills, writing skills, judgment skills, etc., which are actually taught to us by the humanities. ”

"Centennial Mountain, Sven in Zi"
Professor Ma Bing summarized the characteristics of the College of Letters of Shandong University with three key words: "history", "strength" and "rejuvenation".
He said that Shandong University is the originating university of modern higher education in China and is about to celebrate its 120th anniversary this year. The main body of Shandong University is Shandong University Hall, which was founded in 1901, and there were literature courses at the beginning of the establishment of Shandong University Hall in 1901. "Shanda University is the origin university of modern higher education in China, and the Faculty of Letters is the origin college of Shanda University, which can be described as 'a century-old Shanda, Sven is here'."
"The two literary and historical glories of Shandong University are closely related to the Faculty of Letters. In the 1930s in Qingdao, half of the Crescent Moon Sect, such as Wen Yiduo, Liang Shiqiu, Shen Congwen, and Lao She, taught here, and became famous all over the world. "Professor Ma Bing's words are full of pride." In the 1950s, Mr. Feng Yuanjun, Lu Kanru, Gao Heng, Xiao Difei, etc., represented the peak of classical literature research.
In addition, in 1994, the College of Letters of Shandong University was selected as the first batch of national liberal arts talent training and scientific research bases, and in 2001, it successfully passed the first phase of acceptance and was rated as "excellent base". "We were selected as the first batch of national first-class majors, the first batch of national strong foundation plan work directions, the first batch of top talents 2.0 construction base, the strength is relatively strong."
In terms of disciplines, the Faculty of Literature covers all professional directions of the first-level disciplines of Chinese and Chinese chinese and chinese languages except Chinese minority language and literature and Chinese folk literature, all of which are national or provincial key disciplines.
The history is deep, but we still do not forget to pursue higher goals. Professor Ma Bing said that all the teachers of the Faculty of Letters have devoted themselves to teaching and scientific research, and have achieved a large number of influential scientific research results in the academic circles.
Cultivate talents and teach according to their aptitudes
The talent training of Shandong University has always adhered to the principle of "teaching according to aptitude", which has been fully demonstrated in the College of Literature. Professor Ma Bing said that the Faculty of Literature organizes classes according to the different strengths and talents of students, and implements different class structures, including Chinese classes, base classes, strong base classes, and top-notch 2.0 plan classes, and different classes will have different training programs and curriculum systems.
"We respect the professional interests of our students. For example, some courses may have a relatively small number of courses, and teachers will also open them, and they will not stop because the number of courses selected is small. Like the top-notch program class, which focuses on cultivating academic talents, there will be more targeted academic training, such as some training and practical activities such as thesis report meeting. ”
The setting of the original canonical curriculum is one of the characteristics of the Faculty of Letters of Shan university. Ma Bing said that the current fragmented reading is flattening children's reading ability. "We want to solve this problem effectively, so we try some original curriculum settings." He said that the original classic course is a reading class, and it pays great attention to the choice of version. "For example, we have a guide to "Dream of the Red Chamber", and when we read "Dream of the Red Chamber" in class, we have to read the fat commentary. Such a course can allow children to truly acquire the most core ability of Chinese in the process of reading the original text - reading ability. ”
Two characteristics that are suitable for learning Chinese
Love to read and sit still
What kind of students are suitable for Chinese? Professor Ma Bing believes that children who love to read and can sink their hearts are more suitable for learning Chinese profession.
According to reports, shandong university Chinese language and literature major in the past years for the national unified recruitment of 140 people, this year is expected to be about 150 people, in Shandong launched in the unified recruitment plan of about 30 people. This year's enrollment plan is based on the final prospectus.
In addition to the unified recruitment, there is another path to enter the Chinese majors of Shandong University - the Qiangji Program. "Qiangji plan for the direction of paleography, our professional direction has a high reputation and influence in the country, has formed a combination of old, middle and young, well-structured teaching and research echelon, and provide a master's and doctoral training program." If students read it steadily, they will ideally be able to get a doctorate in 8 years. Professor Ma Bing said that the strong foundation class is suitable for students with talent, strength and interest.
As for the employment destination of graduates, Professor Ma Bing summed up four categories: academics who go down the academic route, media people engaged in publishing and editing, politicians who are admitted to civil servants, and primary and secondary school teachers engaged in basic education.
According to reports, the graduates of the College of Literature of Shandong University have high quality, strong work ability, and wide employment, and are well received by all walks of life. A large number of outstanding graduates who have come out of the college have embarked on important leadership positions at all levels or become experts and scholars.
