Annotation: This article explores the methods of teaching modern Chinese literature in Russian universities, taking into account linguistic features and cultural differences between China and Russia. First, we analyzed several criteria for selecting fiction texts as teaching materials. Texts suitable for teaching reading Chinese literature must meet the requirements of accessibility, modernity and have information potential that allows them to be compared with Russian texts. Based on a literature review and analysis of specific examples from teaching practice, the three most important methods are highlighted: translation of cultural characteristics, text simplification and cross-cultural comparison. The theoretical part of the article reviews the latest achievements of Russian scientists in the field of intercultural education and teaching Chinese, and emphasizes their guiding significance for understanding Chinese-Russian literary exchange. In the practical part, based on experiential learning, we came up with a sequence of steps while working with the text: introduction — intensive reading — discussion — result — assessment, suitable for students of the Chinese language faculty of a linguistic university. To check the effectiveness of this sequence of working with the text and techniques of teaching reading, we organized a control pedagogical experiment, the results of which were positive. An example of a pedagogical case based on reading Lu Xin’s “Diary of a Madman” is also presented. In the end, we can conclude that these techniques not only develop students’ intercultural understanding of the text, but also improve their literary and critical skills and language capabilities.
