Features: Extracurricular History consists of six volumes. The biggest feature of this book is its innovative spirit.
1. Original Intent is New. Based on the characteristics of compulsory education and senior high school education, as well as the demand for talent in the 21st century, the history teaching in China must primarily aim to cultivate and improve students' quality. This book designs a set of teaching materials that ingeniously fosters independent thinking and innovative ability among students. It enables junior and senior high school students to fully master and comprehend in-class history knowledge while broadening their horizons, expanding their knowledge base, and enhancing their innovative abilities.
2. New Curriculum Content. This book is written based on the latest textbook from the People's Education Press in 2001, incorporating the newest achievements in historical studies and teaching in recent years, such as the Xia-Shang-Zhou chronology project and the latest archaeological discoveries of China's earliest iron tools. This aspect is arguably more up-to-date than any comparable teaching aids currently available.
3. New Question Design and Guiding Principles. The authors of this book are selected from outstanding educators in current history teaching circles who have a deep understanding of teaching and examination realities. They include experts from various schools and some current textbook authors who are well-informed about the problems and future directions of history teaching in China. Each section and question in the book has been carefully considered and meticulously planned. The editorial team consists of textbook compilers from the People's Education Press, university teachers, and high school teachers, representing comprehensive strengths. Everyone works together to strive for excellence in this series.
The combination of the "Extracurricular Project" and "In-Class Curriculum" reveals the truth: to comprehensively improve students' quality, both "in-class" and "extracurricular" efforts must be emphasized—both hands must be strong.

Only by understanding and appreciating human history can we better move toward the future. Extracurricular History provides a very appropriate and beneficial extension of "in-class history," enriching students' and the public's knowledge of history. The combination of studying "in-class history" and reading Extracurricular History is the best way to improve students' quality.
