近日，一则关于台湾高中语文课本文言文删减四分之三的消息在大陆社交媒体上引发了广泛关注和讨论。据贴文透露，台湾高中课本中原本包含的60篇文言文，新课纲实施后仅保留了15篇，包括《岳阳楼记》、《兰亭集序》等经典古文作品被删减，这引起了教育界的广泛讨论。
这一调整的背后，反映了台湾教育体系在传统文化与现代教育理念之间的探索与抉择。在删减文言文的同时，新课纲增加了《鹿港乘桴记》等台湾古典散文，旨在增强本土文化的认同感和能见度。然而，这一调整也引发了一些争议，如台湾家长和学生对《岳阳楼记》和《廉耻》等经典文言文被删的不解，以及对《鹿港乘桴记》等作品的疑问，认为其是否具有同等的教育价值和文化意义。
近年来，台湾课本中删减中国历史及文化内容的做法并非首次。去年，台湾女教师区桂芝因文言文被删而引发的争议更是将这一问题推至公众视野。有报道指出，新课纲将“中国史”改为“东亚史”，导致中国古代史内容大量删减，引发社会对教育内容选择的广泛讨论和批评。
台湾作为中华文化的宝库，一直以来在保存和传承中国传统文化方面具有独特的优势，如使用繁体字、保留古韵的学者著述与信件、街道命名以及传统美德的传承等。然而，随着教育体系的改革，特别是自民进党当局2019年正式实施的“108课纲”以来，台湾年轻一代的教育内容和价值观正经历着前所未有的变化。
台湾舆论呼吁废除新课纲的声音不断，反映出社会对教育内容选择和文化传承的深度关切。教育改革在追求现代化和国际接轨的同时，如何平衡传统文化的传承与现代教育理念的融合，成为当前台湾社会必须面对的重要课题。

### Taiwan’s High School Chinese Curriculum Overhauls Spark Controversy: Cultural Preservation vs. Educational Reform
A recent announcement about a substantial reduction in the inclusion of classical Chinese texts in Taiwan’s high school Chinese curriculum has sparked widespread debate and concern, particularly on Chinese social media platforms. It has been reported that out of the 60 classical Chinese texts originally included in the textbooks, only 15 have been retained under the new curriculum guidelines, including iconic works such as “Preface to the记 of the Tower of Yueyang” and “Preface to the Gathering at the Pavilion of Lanting”. This move has ignited extensive discussion within the education community.
The changes reflect Taiwan’s ongoing exploration and decision-making between preserving traditional culture and embracing modern educational ideologies. While the new curriculum introduces works like “A Record of Luguang’s Rowing Canoe” to enhance the sense of local cultural identity, it has also sparked controversy. Some Taiwanese parents and students are puzzled by the removal of texts like “Preface to the Tower of Yueyang” and “Honour and Shame”, questioning the educational and cultural significance of these works. Moreover, there are concerns about the appropriateness of “A Record of Luguang’s Rowing Canoe” in comparison to these classics.
This is not the first time Taiwan has considered reducing the inclusion of Chinese history and culture in its textbooks. Last year, controversy arose over the removal of Chinese history teacher Qu Guizhi’s text, highlighting the broader issue. Reports indicate that the new curriculum has renamed “Chinese History” to “History of East Asia”, leading to significant reductions in content related to ancient China, which has sparked wide-ranging public discussion and criticism.
Taiwan, a treasure trove of Chinese culture, has historically been unique in preserving and transmitting traditional Chinese culture, as evidenced by the use of traditional Chinese characters, the preservation of classical language in scholars’ writings and letters, street names, and the transmission of traditional virtues. However, with the advent of educational reforms, particularly since the introduction of the “108 Curriculum” by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities in 2019, Taiwan’s younger generation’s educational content and values are undergoing unprecedented transformations.
Calls for the abolition of the new curriculum are growing louder in Taiwan’s public discourse, reflecting deep concerns about the selection of educational content and cultural preservation. As education reforms aim to achieve modernization and international alignment, striking a balance between the preservation of traditional culture and the integration of modern educational concepts presents a critical challenge for Taiwan’s society today.
