What is the major of Chinese language and literature? What are the employment directions?

Generally speaking, the employment prospects of Chinese language and literature majors in well-known universities are still very good, especially for boys. Party and government organs, state-owned enterprises, foreign enterprises and private enterprises can all seek better positions.

The main course of Chinese language and literature major is our overall understanding of Chinese. We have studied Chinese since childhood, but the Chinese language and literature major in the university needs to learn more in-depth content. Simply put, it includes two fields: language and literature. Students in this major should not only master various schools, theories, writers and works of Chinese and foreign literature, but also extensively dabble in language, philosophy, history, politics, society and other aspects, and master solid and rich professional knowledge of China's language and literature. After graduation, I can engage in the research, teaching and related work of China language and literature.

Main courses: introduction to literature, introduction to linguistics, modern Chinese, ancient Chinese, history of ancient Chinese literature, history of modern literature in China, history of contemporary literature in China, history of foreign literature, comparative literature, etc.

The employment direction of Chinese language and literature is nothing more than teachers, secretaries and civil servants.

You can teach high school after graduating from undergraduate course. Now better public middle school teachers directly require graduate education or above, no matter what school they go to. You can check the teacher recruitment online.

Therefore, the scope of employment is very narrow and employment can be found. If you are willing to work hard, you can still get in, but many people fail for several years. As for private schools, they are insecure and tired. You can also do paperwork.

Generally speaking, Chinese language and literature employment can be lost, and it is relatively stable after employment, but the treatment is average. It's a major that won't starve to death but can't make money. It's not challenging.

If you are a boy, I suggest you change your major. My classmates are all taking the postgraduate entrance examination.
