The comprehensive analysis of the aphorisms of Confucius from the book "论语" "Lunyu", which we will talk about in the webinar, allows the teacher to create a learning process of reading in Chinese that will contribute to the development of various skills of the students. This method of working with small-format texts (aphorisms of Confucius) allows students to learn reading in Chinese in a new format and also significantly increases the level of the internal motivation of the students to the Chinese language.
