Since Mainland China began compulsory education in 1992, pupils on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have been receiving nine-year compulsory education. As the people of Taiwan and Mainland China have the same culture and ethnic backgrounds, this study investigated the textbooks used in China primary schools as part of the compulsory education system. Apart from the methods of literature analysis and content analysis, this study interviewed the persons concerned and observed the practices in c1assroomsin China. The aim of this study is to suggest some innovations that could be implemented in the future for Taiwan and Mainland China. Some suggestions for Mainland China are: a. regarding children as the center of education, establish humanistic view on philosophy of education; b. release the shackles of ideology in order to guide pupils to form their own views on values; c. broaden the perspective of "taking root in the local and taking the global view" in the selection of subject matter; d. develop the consciousness of history and examine themselves critically.
