The course focuses on humanistic goals and application goals, constructing a new teaching form with ‘cloud textbook classic reading classroom’ as the core and ‘four-classroom connected practice classroom’ as the characteristic. The effectiveness of this teaching form has been studied, the research result shows that students have a good evaluation of the ancient literature classic reading classroom, and the practical classroom has enhanced students' innovation ability and comprehensive quality.
