Selected textsrequire not only the observation of education, but also the involvement of a literaryperspective, especially the involvement of dimensional theory for classics andselections. This paper just uses dimensional and selective perspective to study theCTROC’s features and it’s forming reason.In order to grasp the general picture of the CTROC, this paper adopted a methodof quantitative analysis, selected32sets of middle school Chinese textbooks of theCTROC as samples, established respectively databases of junior high school, seniorhigh school, and classical, and to calculate classical index of each text.This paper selected some observation point to describe the general picture ofCTROC, which include top100classical texts, representing writers, top3writers andtheir works, classical anthology and texts, and top poet&ci which selected from it.The feature of CTROC has7selective orientations&2special subjects. Theselective orientations include aesthetic, cultural, political, pragmatic, education andwomen’s liberation; the subjects include translation and history. The texts of aestheticaccounted for four out of ten, which manly content is existential perception, includeof life experience, feelings, and imagination. The discursive construction of aesthetictexts is built on aesthetic experience, but also doping political&cultural discourse.The texts of cultural accounted for1/4, which include traditional and modern culturestexts. The former mainly include Confucianism, Taoists, and Mohism; the lattermainly include individualism, responsibility, etc. The text of political orientationaccounted for18%, which include ideological, state discourse and society politicaldiscourse.
