This is an ideal textbook for teaching classical Chinese. Some of the features of the book that I like most of all are (1) detailed notes on classical Chinese grammar, (2) accurate translations of the original texts, (3) selection of a wide range of texts from the earliest periods until the last imperial dynasty, and (4) plentiful exercises designed to help students master grammar patterns and new vocabulary.

Ying Tian's Introduction to Classical Chinese is a ground breaking new approach to learning the classical Chinese language systematically, through thoroughly annotated, explicated and analyzed texts of well-known poetry, essays and philosophical discourse.
