Revised Textbook Turns to Chinese Traditional Culture
Chinese language textbooks in China’s primary and secondary schools have been revised to focus more on traditional culture, according to an editor.
Starting this autumn, more than four million first and seventh graders from Hunan, Henan, Guangdong, Liaoning and other provincial-level regions will use the new textbooks.
According to Wang Xuming, president of the Language and Culture Press, 40 percent of the contents in the previous edition has been changed.
Traditional material makes up 30 percent of the revised primary school textbooks, while it increases to about 40 percent for secondary school textbooks.
" We did so to address the needs of parents, who want their children to learn more about traditional culture," said a senior editor surnamed Zhu in charge of the middle school textbooks.
" Now many people cannot even understand the language in classical Chinese books, and parents compete to send their children to commercial training centers for traditional culture," she said.
China has seen a renewed interest in traditional education. A report by the Southern Metropolitan Daily said that China has more than 3,000 Sishu, or traditional private schools, in addition to training centers teaching students classical essays.
"Demand for private education grows when teaching of traditional culture in public schools is not enough. What’s more, the poetry and essays in the new textbooks are selected not only for students to learn the language, but also to instruct them on philosophy. " Zhu said.
Primary and middle schools in China had uniform textbooks before an education reform in 2001, which allowed schools in different provinces to use different textbooks. More than ten publishers have released their own textbooks.
This is the first revision the press has made in more than a decade. They have replaced some outdated articles.

Chinese Traditional Culture Should Be Promoted
The nation-wide revision of textbooks witnesses a significant increase in the content of Chinese traditional culture. Hailed by the parents as a stepping stone for future learning, this addition of contents manifests a renewed interest in traditional culture which guides students to learn not only classical language but also philosophy. Personally, I think the promotion of our traditional culture at all educational levels should be welcomed.
Firstly, the millennial-old Chinese culture, be it embodied in the flowering politics and philosophies or the exquisite crafts, is an asset for today’s young generation. China, as it is catapulted into an unprecedented rate of development, desperately calls for its citizens to have a deep understanding of its cultural roots as well as a profound pride in its cultural luster. Only by instilling the ancient culture into the young minds can the legacy be preserved and the cultivation of its influence guaranteed. Moreover, as the pearl of wisdom, traditional culture carries with it sage axioms that can definitely solve the thorny contemporary issues. For example, the ethics of Confucius teach us to introspect ourselves and respect others; the fundamental outlook from Taoism leads us into a more harmonious world; the benevolence of Mencius breaks the ice of today’s warring deadlock. The young generation, who are at a developing stage of their life, should make the best out of these blessings bequeathed from our ancestors.
As the saying goes, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. " It is our duty to protect the ancient wisdom and give opportunity to its full play.
