Chen Zhi has released a beginner's guitar method (including video), called: 古典吉他基础教程 (Classical guitar foundation course)

It is interesting, that the video shows numerous beginners (followed by more advanced students) playing, so encouraging other people who intend to learn with the book and video, in a positive way.
The method itself has numerous small units, each of which treats "a scale (...) and some musical works (folk songs, etc.)" in a specific key. (C, G, D, etc)
Chen Zhi teaches at the "Central Conservatory of Music" in China and has taught such well-known students such as Xuefei Yang (杨雪霏), Li Jie (李潔), Wang Yameng (王雅梦), Su Meng (苏萌), Chen Shanshan (陈姗姗).
Note: today Chen Zhi would avoid the use of the metronome while a student is playing, since it unfortunately results in students developing a *too mechanical* approach when playing.
