Because of that, most history textbooks in Taiwan do not include abundant Taiwan history. Some of them even just mention the people or city of Taiwan. As a result, most students in Taiwan are more familiar with history of Chinese rather than Taiwan. In order to alter past peculiar phenomena and response to international trend, domestic political situation and social change of emphasizing localization, Taiwan history textbooks increase content of Taiwan’s own history. It was an epoch in the Taiwan historical education as High School Temporary Curriculum Guidelines launched in 2005.
