Abstract

he Taiwanese government has included Four Books Education for the last sixty years as part of the core Taiwanese language curriculum in High School. Taiwanese education that places a lot of weight on the Chinese traditional classics including the Four Books has influence on Chinese government that is seeking ways to promote Chinese traditional culture. The Chinese government allowed approximately 30 middle and high schools to incorporate revised Basic Readings in Culture of China as part of the regular curriculum. As of 2014, 40,000 students from 200 schools in 16 areas are using this textbook. Trying out new policies by allowing schools to use Taiwanese textbook as part of regular curriculum was a drastic change for China. It owes a lot to the Ministry of Education's new guideline for promoting Chinese traditional cultural education, which was announced in March 2014. Such policy has been approved as a policy and has taken root. For China with history of relatively less focus on classics education, using Basic Readings in Culture of China from Taiwan, which inherited 60 years long legacy of Four Books education, was a good alternative. This paper first studies current Chinese language education of Taiwan and China. The paper also examines the curriculum and differences in the structure and difference between Taiwanese Basic Readings in Culture of China(2012) of 康熹文化社 and revised version of Primary Readings in Chinese Culture (2013) by 中華書局. Finally, this paper will examine characteristics and implications of Chinese Confucian Classics education in Taiwan and China.
