"自民國三十八年，政府播遷台灣，大陸地區即與我們隔達四十年之久。其語文教育之情況及教學用書之內容等等，皆鮮為人知。
近兩年兩岸文化交流機會增加，其小學之教育制度、語文用書及教學理論的書籍漸次出現於各相關學術研究單位。研讀之下，發現縱然兩岸政治思想、經濟制度、生活情形有許多差距，但，中華民族的語文文字卻是兩岸共同承襲的，而且在小學語文教育中得到同等之重視。
為深入了解大陸地區基礎語文教育的重心和取向，特就小學語文作業的內容及題目形式分析討論，冀望能提供給台灣地區語文教育者做參考。

Since the Chinese Nationalist Government moved to the island of Formosa in 1949, the Chinese language and literature education in Mainland China which was under the control of the Communist Government, and the contents of their reading textbooks and workbooks have seldom been known by people in Taiwan.
Recently, the political situation changed, and the cultural activities grow across each other. More and more research papers concerning the elementary education system, educational theories, and the textbooks of Mainland China emerged. After collecting the related data, the researcher found that although there is still a gap between each other in the political ideology, the economics system, the way of life and the standard of living, the Chinese language and literature is the common heritage for both sides of the Taiwan Straits and was equally emphasized in elementary education both in Taiwan and Mainland.
In order to understand further the direction and the stress point of the basic language education in Mainland China, the researcher analyzed the contents of their elementary reading workbooks and the forms and items of the language examination；therefore, the main purpose of this study is to provide the language educators in Taiwan a better understanding of the trend of language education in Mainland China.
