Abstract:

The Communist Party of China led the curriculum reform in Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, and creatively constructed the revolutionary curriculum discourse with the characteristic of the Red Culture. The formation of revolutionary curriculum discourse went through four historical stages: the national defense curriculum of the national war of resistance, the formal curriculum for improving quality, the localized curriculum integrated with practice, and the new formal curriculum which turned to cultural knowledge. The genealogy of knowledge and connotation of revolutionary curriculum discourse were mainly reflected in Politics, Chinese and History, showing the orientation of implementing materialism, promoting the popularization of language and regarding the people as the creator of social history. The cultural practice and value of revolutionary curriculum discourse were embodied in giving full play to the value of nurturing people and promoting people's subjective self-consciousness; promoting national liberation and independence, and forming national identity; creating a nation-state community and providing spiritual impetus for it; carrying the red culture and forming the fine tradition of revolution, which explored a localized path of curriculum in China.

Key words: Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, revolutionary culture, curriculum discourse, curriculum reform
