A top-scoring Chinese A (Lit) RQ must be focused, specific, and explicitly state your variables. Examiners look for precise scientific context rather than broad, vague topics.
Limit your study to no more than three specific works or a clearly defined part of one author's output to maintain a manageable scope.
Frame your question to invite critical analysis or interpretation, using interrogative words like 'how' or 'why' to encourage deeper exploration.
Focus on a particular literary element, theme, character, or technique to provide a narrow scope for analysis.
Identify at least one specific literary work or author to anchor your research question, ensuring it is clearly named.
Express your research question as a single, clear, and grammatically complete sentence, avoiding multiple sub-questions or overly complex phrasing.
Attempting to cover an entire literary period or movement instead of focusing on a limited number of works or a specific author.
Choosing a broad topic that encompasses too many themes or aspects of the work, leading to superficial analysis.

Using vague or generic terms like 'Chinese literature' instead of naming specific works or authors.

One work or a tight pair beats “Chinese poetry and love.” Bound by author, genre, or device. Mention simplified/traditional context if it affects analysis.
