This article provides a comprehensive overview of the eleven history textbooks used in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) from its founding in 1949 to the present year. Because of the way history textbooks are divided in reference to China’s political generations, this overview also divides China’s history textbooks into four periods: the Mao Zedong era, the Deng Xiaoping era, the Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao eras, and the Xi Jinping era. Through a literature review, and a comparison of textbook revisions in different editions, the study found that history education in China has gone through three major stages of development: the start from 1949, the new curriculum reform in 1978, and the unified textbook reform in 2017. Sinc the year of 2019, The scope of history education in China has now expanded from junior high school in the compulsory education stage to higher education levels including senior high school, undergraduate programs, and graduate studies. The subject of history has always existed in Chinese classrooms as a compulsory subject, except for some students who did not choose history as a subject for the college entrance examination after the division of high school into different subjects. The study also found that the shape, structure, and content of Chinese history textbooks have undergone large-scale changes. In addition, the paper summarizes the commonalities among all the textbooks, arguing for the legitimacy of the rule of the Communist Party of China, adhering to the socialist ideology, and cultivating patriotic sentiments to enhance the sense of national identity.
