Abstract

Ancient Chinese is a core course of the Department of Chinese Language and Literature in most of related universities. However, the traditional teaching materials for Ancient Chinese are usually complied according to personal experience and preference, as a result of which, they cannot integrate with the modern teaching philosophy, especially the outcome-based education. To introduce a scientific, impersonal and quantitative foundation for the learning of Ancient Chinese, a corpus was constructed, which covers lexical and syntactic learning objectives based on the statistical inspection of selected typical literatures published in ancient times. The corpus will contribute to the transition from traditional experiential teaching to modern scientific teaching for the Ancient Chinese course.
