This paper focuses on the problem of cross curricular of the national curriculum and the roles of teaching literature in the cross curricular learning. The themes of cross curricular have consistently increased but it was hard to find clear principles in selecting them, As a result, the themes have not been received in positive response by the teachers. We should establish the strict principles for selecting and categorizing the themes and many experts of relevant subjects should work together on the project form the beginning to decide on a direction. As park of the trial, I attempted to categorize the themes in six higher categories, ``democracy and state``, ``character and ethics``, ``sustainable development and environment``, ``economy and career``, ``health and safety``, ``information and media``. In this paper, I tried to embody the ideas that literature could integrate the various contents from many subjects in the cross curricular learning, and I focused on several important themes as ``state``, ``minorities``, ``farmers`` through the emotion and imagination of literary works.
