Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
Due to the impact of political and cultural contexts, Chinese textbooks in Singaporean secondary school experienced a long and tortuous process of localization. In the early British colonial era and the Japanese occupation of Singapore, almost all Chinese textbooks in Singapore were imported from China and entitled guowen.
