Abstract
In the 1940s, due to the lack of systematic education, university students had an imbalanced command of Chinese language and literature. Li Jinxi, a pioneer in Chinese language and literature education, published a series of papers on the ideas of "Tong Chou" (integration) and "Jiu Ji"(remedy) in Chinese language and literature education in tertiary institutes. "Integration" refers to the standardization of the number of essays in Chinese textbooks, focusing on improving reading and writing skills. Meanwhile, based on students' levels of Chinese, teachers could be flexible in terms of teaching methods, which is "remedy". Similar problems still exist today: there is a gap between secondary institutes and tertiary institutes regarding Chinese language and literature education; the overall Chinese level of university students is not satisfactory. Therefore, improving the language skill, especially the proper use of language, is the objective of Chinese language and literature education in tertiary institutes. All students are supposed to acquire skills of not only reading and comprehension, but also writing and communication.
