Taiwan's history textbooks simplified "heinous" Taiwanese media: disrespect for history is finally backlashed

　　Overseas Network, September 8th. An island history teacher complained to the Taiwanese media that the latest version of the second-grade history textbook for junior high school after the start of school was greatly deleted. "The Three Kingdoms disappeared and the Empress Wu disappeared." Taiwanese media verified that the first chapter of the new textbook "Country and society from Shang and Zhou to Sui and Tang Dynasties" was deleted to only four short pages. The 2,400-year history was finished in 1,600 words. Historical figures almost only mentioned Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi and others hurriedly took it, and the course was simplified to "Ling "Human hair means".

　　According to Taiwan’s “Zhongshi Electronic News”, the new version of Taiwan’s history textbook for the first semester of the second semester is opened. In the Hanlin version, the first chapter "State and Society from Shang and Zhou to Sui and Tang Dynasties" is only 4 pages long. There is no Xia Dynasty in the section "Tribe to Feudalism", only the Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Dynasty, with a 600-year history of less than 300 words.

The section "From Feudal to Monarchy" covers the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the end of the Han Dynasty. It is finished in 800 words. The first emperor of Qin and the rule of Legalism are covered with a little more ink. Then the text will be transferred to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty advocating Confucianism and recommending xiaolian and Caowei. The Jiupin Official Person Law and the Tang Dynasty Imperial Examination.

　　Talking about the country and society in the 2400 years before the Tang Dynasty (including the Tang Dynasty), the power changes that must be discussed in traditional political history, such as Zhou Wuwang's defeat of Zhou, Spring and Autumn Five Hegemonies, Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of Han Dynasty, Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, etc. There are no new textbooks; the historical classics "Historical Records" and "Han Shu" are not mentioned at all; the nine-year version has been questioned by public opinion because of the conflict between Chu and Han, which only mentioned 3 lines. This time the new textbook is deleted. No words left.

It is worth mentioning that the political history of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, such as the rule of Zhenguan, the rule of Kaiyuan, and the rebellion of Anshi were not mentioned, but the book editor put the Tang Dynasty in the second chapter "Nationalities and Culture from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties". Talk about foreign exchanges in the Tang Dynasty.

　　Statistics by Wu Kuncai, a professor at the Department of Applied History of Chiayi University, Taiwan, 60 pages, 6 chapters telling about 3,600 years from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the late Qing Dynasty, each chapter has only 1,500 words but 600 years.

"Messy, incomprehensible, no timing, no cause and effect." Wu Kuncai said: "It can only be said that'broken' is the biggest characteristic of historical education of the DPP authorities."

　　A review article in Taiwan’s "China Times" pointed out that for more than a decade, the Green Camp has been promoting "de-sinicization". Not only did history lessons suffer, but the selection of classical Chinese essays has decreased. Teachers have to help students "compensate" the pitiful classical Chinese essays. history.

Some teachers said that students would not be able to understand the connotation of the works without the support of history. For them, the great writer Su Dongpo would be nothing more than a "literary youth" moaning without illness.

　　Duan Xinyi, chairman of the Taiwan Chinese Language Education Promotion Association, criticized the student's weak background in literature and history, which has basically been the shackles of the Chinese teacher for more than ten years.

Duan Xinyi said that if the students' background in literature and history is not enough, their understanding of things will stay literal. For example, this year's test of Chinese writing is based on Su Dongpo's phrase "The boat has passed away, Jiang Hai will send the rest of his life", compared with modern writers showing that "the world is my foundation" "Use emotions", students are required to link the two essays to write, but they did not expect to see the deep expression. Even the sample essays selected by the university examination center are only literal and become superficial.

　　In another review article entitled "Those who do not respect history will eventually be bitten back", the author pointed out that after the "de-sinicization" of history textbooks, many students have gone to the shops to find the previous history textbooks to study, and the new version of history Weakening history in an all-round way will only make more students and parents "retrovert".

There is no other reason, people are born with a thirst for knowledge "wish to know the end of things"!

What's more, China has a long history. Whether it's playing the board game "Three Kingdoms" or watching the movie "Mulan" with Chinese elements, you can't escape the "Tathagata palm" of Chinese history.

　　The article denounced: "The irony is that the new version of the history textbook provides messy, unscheduled, no-causal content, and also deletes the introduction of the "Historical Records". We only see the blood stains of'how history education was ended'. But. "The wild joy will have a brutal end." The green camp willfully massacred historical education and violated academic ethics, and will eventually be backlashed by history itself."

　　Regarding the island’s dissatisfaction with the "de-sinicization" history teaching syllabus being tampered with by the DPP authorities after coming to power, Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, once stated that the so-called new syllabus led by the DPP authorities and the "Taiwan independence" forces has forgotten the ancestors. To beautify colonial rule and attempt to split the historical and cultural connections between the two sides of the strait, and is filled with "de-sinicization" content. It not only poisons the younger generation of Taiwan, but also further undermines cross-strait relations and intensifies cross-strait confrontation. It will inevitably meet strong opposition from Taiwanese society.
