A series of textbooks showing gems of traditional Chinese culture, including Analects of Confucius and The Art of War, will be used by primary and middle school students across China, reported Beijing Daily. 

The new textbooks, edited by China Center of Traditional Culture, aim to cultivate youngsters' values and characters by teaching them Confucian classics, poems, Chinese medicine and the like.

The textbooks are specially made for different regions to enable students to better understand their hometown. For example, in a book for third-grade students in Beijing, the "history of Beijing Hutong" (hutong are narrow roads commonly seen in North China) is showed to them.

The textbook comes at a time when the central leadership of China is calling on schools at all levels to develop the value of traditional Chinese culture in education. 

The new textbooks, which are expected to be used on a trial basis in 25 provinces, cities and autonomous regions across the country later this year, mark the first time that standard textbooks for traditional culture are to be used on a large scale across China.
