Abstract
Hong Kong's secondary school textbooks on Chinese history have many commendable merits, such as balanced structure, objective narration, well-grounded argument and exquisite design. There are, however, a few areas where improvements are needed , and one of them is the slowness in absorbing fresh historical research findings. Many outdated concepts or sayings which have been convincingly proven false by history researchers are still prevalent. This article addresses this problem by focusing on a nalyzing a popular yet inaccurate saying on the history of Yuan dynasty and argues that the contents of Hong Kong's secondary school textbooks on Chinese history need updating.
