Abstract:

The Chinese Revolutionary Base Area’s education has three paralleled brand-new educational
modes: the cadre education, the mass education and the general education. A new education mode needs a
new textbook. The compilation of the Base Area’s textbooks continued to grope its way in accord with current
educational situations and went through four constructional phases: the compilation of inherited propaganda
materials, the beginning of compiling standardized textbooks, the combination of textbook compilation with
current situation and the recurring standardized textbook compilation. In this process, the accordingly unique
textbooks not only emerged itself, but also became the rarest textbook types with its rich and featured era
characteristics in the history of Chinese textbook development, which recorded the birth of this kind of new
education modes as well.
