China's Ancient Culture: Another interesting course

Recommended Posts

Was on the Coursera website for another reason this morning (starting "Classics of Chinese Humanities") and stumbled across a link which led to an offering by Peking University that looked interesting.  Title was "China's Ancient Culture."

 

This one is taught in Chinese by six different lecturers. Here's the link: https://www.coursera.org/course/pkuacc

 

I won't be taking it. Already have enough on my plate with the Harvard X China history course and the Chinese humanities course. Furthermore, doubt my Chinese would be adequate for the task.

 

Nonetheless, it might be of interest to more advanced learners.
 

中国古代文化

 

本课程旨在加深学员对中国历史与古代社会生活的认识;促进对传统文化核心观点与基本精神的理解与把握;培养文化研究初步方法。

Thanks for the heads-up! That will definitely be useful for me since I'm starting my Chinese History Master's this month!

 

I have watched half the lecture videos for the 秦始皇 course on Coursera, it's excellent. The lecturer is one of the most engaging I've ever seen, Chinese or non-Chinese.

Sounds like it would be a good fit for you, @TooIronic. 

 

Things like this make me wish I had kept struggling with 书面语 instead of just being satisfied with daily living fluency. That would have opened other doors.
