The “New Standard Chinese Undergraduate Series” is a set of Chinese undergraduate textbooks based on the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education, adhering to the integration of “structure-function-culture” and upholding comprehensive quality training featured “language + professionalism” throughout. Aiming at better meeting the needs of Chinese language teaching for international students coming to China for undergraduate studies under the new standard, this series is based on the concepts of “diversification, three-dimensionality, innovation and intelligence”, and is mainly tailor-made for international students coming to China for undergraduate studies in Chinese language. Meanwhile, it can be used in relevant training courses at home and abroad, and meet the learning needs of long-term advanced students and self-taught learners coming to China to study Chinese. The whole set is divided into three levels (elementary, intermediate and advanced) and two sequences (horizontal and vertical). The horizontal sequence is divided into four major sections, including Chinese language skills and knowledge, cultural knowledge, translation between Chinese and foreign languages, and business Chinese, while the vertical sequence is based on comprehensive teaching materials, supplemented by teaching materials for listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, which are used throughout the first to the fourth year of undergraduate education, so that the ratio of general skills courses with professional skills and knowledge courses at all levels can be balanced to ensure that students can obtain in-depth and balanced learning effects at all stages of study.

The Advanced Chinese Comprehensive Course (three volumes in total) is a language textbook for comprehensive courses. It is mainly designed for senior international students majoring in Chinese Language and other undergraduate majors. At the same time, it is also suitable for Chinese learners with the same needs. The textbook is mainly compiled based on the Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education. It features rich language materials and diverse topics, with careful arrangements in aspects such as vocabulary, grammar, rhetorical devices, and article writing (including thesis writing). Meanwhile, each of the three volumes has its own teaching focus, which allows learners to steadily achieve the various goals set for the advanced level in the Grading Standards through progressive learning.

Each volume contains 10 lessons, and each lesson is designed into five modules, the pre-text module, the text module, the language point explanation module, the exercise module, and the language practice module. First, the pre-text module reveals the central topic of the lesson and the historical, cultural, or real-life background of the text. Second, the text module mainly gives the text, and the authors are mainly scholars, writers, journalists, and experts in certain industries. The topics of the texts cover a wide range, with rich themes and diverse genres. Except for being abridged in length, the texts are not rewritten in any other way, maintaining the original language and style, which can well meet the requirements of language materials for language learning at the advanced stage. Then, the language point explanation module is relatively independent, focusing on introducing the usage of words (including idioms) at the advanced level, correlative conjunctions in complex sentences, rhetorical devices, and the structure of articles. Forth, the vocabulary/grammar/rhetoric training content in the exercise module is closely related to the language points, and it is also equipped with extended reading and writing questions. Last, the language practice module provides various forms of choices for language application.

The genres of the texts in Volume 1 are essays and novels, with topics covering aspects such as social life, mental health, cultural heritage, ethnic customs, scientific exploration, animal and nature protection, and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. The key focus of the language point explanation is grammar. All correlative conjunctions in complex sentences, reduced complex sentences, and types of sentence groups at the advanced level of the Grading Standards are systematically explained and accompanied by supporting exercises. This volume is suitable for learners who have just entered the advanced stage of Chinese learning.
