After 1968, most Chinese textbooks were compiled by editors, and authors on the Editorial Committee. How did the authors affect the style and features of teaching materials and interpret course standards? What were the subjective/ objective factors influencing formation? Recent textbook-related studies fail to discuss these questions. This article investigates oral history and oral history materials of three focused authors gathered from direct and indirect interviews were collected and compared to that end. We collected information from the Chinese textbook editing process to determine the authors’ curriculum views and epistemology. The study discovered: (1) On curriculum objectives, all of the authors stressed the utilitarian aspect of language. (2) As to material selection for curriculum, all authors emphasized enhancing the literariness of Chinese teaching materials. Liang Lin, for example, refers to Hai-Yin Lin and his own texts to verify methods for strengthening language and employing literature fiction. (3) As to the target of curriculum, Liang Lin and Ting-Chun Wang simulated children experience and determine awareness requirements. Liang Lin was dedicated to theme broadening, while Ting-Chun Wang improved student awareness through the design of various activities.
