Humanities is a big major, and it is also divided into many small majors. What kind of "humanistic connotation" is hidden behind the names of these majors? In other words, what kind of people and what kind of personality are more suitable for which major?

Secretarial Studies: It is most suitable for those who can settle down and handle trivial matters. This major seems to be relatively simple, but it is not suitable for those who are not careful and disorganized. In addition, the starting point of employment for this major is relatively low, and you need to be able to start from the grassroots and be able to endure loneliness.

Chinese Language and Literature: This is our narrow understanding of the "Chinese Department" in a general sense. Yes, it studies literature, and generally covers basic courses such as modern and contemporary literature, ancient literature, ancient Chinese, foreign literature, and literary theory. It is suitable for people who have a natural interest in literature, as well as people with deep thoughts and can grasp the essence of things at once.

Chinese Classical Literature: This is a major that many people find very boring, dealing with "piles of old papers" all day long. To be honest, reading those ancient documents without punctuation, vertical layout, and traditional Chinese characters every day requires not only considerable patience and professionalism, but also a talent for ancient literature and profound professional knowledge. Shandong University is the best in the country in ancient literature.

Major in Ancient Chinese Literature: During the undergraduate study stage, ancient literature, modern and contemporary literature, foreign literature, literary theory, etc. are all taught together, which are all knowledge that undergraduate students of Chinese literature must master. When you are about to graduate from undergraduate studies and write your thesis, you will have to involve more specialized knowledge in this direction. It requires us to master ancient literary knowledge proficiently and accurately, which is inevitable. In addition, there is ancient literary theory - which can be regarded as a "philosophical" theory related to literature in ancient my country to a large extent, and a considerable foundation in ancient characters. It is more suitable for candidates who are preparing to continue their studies. The two "stronger" universities in this major are "South" and "North" - Peking University and Nankai University.

Major in Drama and Opera: Some colleges and universities call this major "Film and Television Opera", which is a subject that combines literature and art, and is suitable for students with rich imagination to show their talents. However, this major is not popular in colleges and universities. The best one is of course Communication University of China (formerly Beijing Broadcasting Institute).

Major in Comparative Literature and World Literature: Don't like traditional Chinese literature? I can understand, just like I have a friend who studies philosophy, who likes Western philosophy and is not interested in Chinese philosophy. It's the same reason. Most of the "leisure books" we came into contact with in high school were "world classics". Foreign literature has the merit of "enlightenment" for our literary and artistic feelings. If you want to work in this direction, first of all, read more works; secondly, learn foreign languages ​​well; thirdly, have the ability and talent to find problems in comparison (because the study of foreign literature is accompanied by comparison with Chinese literature); finally, learn literary theory well. It is suitable for compatriots who are more lively and receptive.

Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature: This major is similar to the "Ancient Literature" major. It is an in-depth development in a fixed direction after the basic learning of undergraduates. It depends on whether you are interested in contemporary literature or ancient literature. In addition, "modern and contemporary literature" means literature that started from the May Fourth Movement in 1919. It is generally believed that it was called "modern" before the reform and opening up, and "contemporary" after the reform and opening up. Wuhan University's modern and contemporary majors are unique in China.

Chinese Linguistics and Philology: Although there is also "language", the main research focus of this major is still on "characters", with the main focus on the study of characters and the study of language as an auxiliary. Talents in this field will generally engage in teaching Chinese as a foreign language or specialized research and teaching in the future.

Linguistics and Applied Linguistics: This is a major that truly specializes in linguistics. It can be said that the research methods of linguistics and literature are completely different. If literature has more perceptual factors, linguistics is simply the "science" in the liberal arts, requiring scientific evidence (corpus survey) and rigorous reasoning. In recent years, the development of linguistics in my country has been very popular, because the applied linguistics under it can be used in the fields of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, computer language processing, etc. Peking University's major is unmatched, with many famous teachers and masters.

Literature and Art Major: What is "Literature and Art"? It is neither literature nor art. In layman's terms, it is a guiding theory for literary and artistic creation or appreciation. When we study this major, what we need to do is to explain the theory in combination with the works, or to analyze and evaluate the works in combination with the theory. It is a summary of human literary appreciation and creation experience. It is suitable for compatriots who are good at philosophical thinking and have strong logic.

Geography is a big major, and it is also divided into many small majors. In "Human Geography" (People's Education Press), edited by Ye Baoming, the main sub-disciplines are divided into: 1. Population geography 2. Resource geography 3. Economic geography 4. Political geography 5. Cultural geography 6. Tourism geography 7. Historical geography 8. Settlement geography 9. Social geography 10. Community geography, etc.
