In the rapid development of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, it is the important main pionts of how to construct the textbook which is full of interest and deeply welcomed by the learners through scientific and clever use of illustrations. However, at present, there are still many shortcomings in Chinese teaching as a foreign language textbook illustrations.

Taking the illustrations as the research objects and combining the content analysis, we examine the illustrations in configuration and utilization of this textbooks, and analyze the problems in the form and content of this textbooks’ illustrations. The lesson content includes conservational texts, new words, and sentence structure training as well as other kinds of application exercises. Songs and games are used where appropriate; and audio files are available for download online. Throughout the teaching materials, the Chinese characters, vocabulary, sentence patters, and grammatical structures are quantified and ordered. Both phonetic symbols (Bopomofo) and Hanyu Pinyin are used, and the vocabulary and grammar in each volume advance “from low to high proficiency level with the concept of spiral curriculum,” and are very common and usable. The grade levels have shared themes tying together the series. They expand from the narrow to the broad and are appropriate for schools to use for topic-based education, in anticipation of advancing learners’ familiarity with this range of common topics. After these search, we give some suggestions for the design and utilization of the textbooks illustrations, we hope can provide some good suggestions to improve the Chinese textbooks’ illustrations in the future.
