再论新中国第一套教科书

On the first coursebook on new China

新中国第一套教科书涉及新中国最早使用的那套教科书(应该是新中国成立后第一学期使用的教科书,当时是春季始业),涉及人民教育出版社成立后,出版的第一套相对系统完整的教科书(但它缺乏人教社的自主知识产权),也涉及人教社自主编写的第一套教科书(但它很快夭折),更涉及人教社自主编创的完整的、通用的第一套教科书(但它却被人教社称之为第二套通用教科书)。

The first coursebook is thought to be used in the first or spring semester after the founding of new China, compiled and published by the People＇s Education Press （PEP）. It is systematic, but it fails to claim the intellectual property right. But another PEP-compiled coursebook is soon out of use. Consequently, the first commonly used coursebook is usually taken as the second one.
