Abstract
After Gui-Mao education system enforced in 1904, preparatory courses lasted and became an organic part of modern Chinese higher education. As the predecessor of First-year College Chinese in the Republic of China, "preparatory Chinese courses" indicated the early form of College Chinese. Liu Bannong's "Teaching of Practical Writings", finished in 1917 and published in the next year, was the earliest research article and experiment report in modern Chinese as a discipline. Situated within the background of New Culture Movement, this article could have a better display of Liu Bannong and his colleagues' ideas of Chinese language education. Among them, the discrimination of the educational objectives between "erudite people" and "common people" is particularly significant for today's research of the college Chinese.
