The key matters in compilation of a textbook is a selection problem of themes of the main body. The theme of the main body of a textbook indicates the characteristics of a textbook, and the learning activities conducted centering around a textbook are usually related to this themes of the main body. This paper analyzes the acceptance scope and level in themes of short sentences, prose and Chinese poems of a junior high school on the basis of the Curriculum of Korean Classical Chinese Education as amended in 2007 and the explanation of the new junior high school`s curriculum of Korean Classical Chinese Education. `Chinese writing short sentences` are an artificial test category newly proposed by reflecting the necessity for Korean classical Chinese education in the amended curriculum. The term itself called as short sentences has been used in the previous curriculums. The themes to be included in short sentences categories have been frequently shown in the textbooks of previous curriculums. However, this curriculum firstly defined the concept of short sentences as a short writing composed of one sentence. `Chinese writing prose` and `Chinese poems` are also artificial text categories newly proposed by reflecting the necessity for Korean classical Chinese education. In the 7th curriculum, a `prose` category was proposed as sentences opposed to poems. But in the amended curriculum, a `prose` category was proposed from a junior high school and the concept are also defined as `Chinese writing prose opposed to Chinese poems`. The ordinary type of the theme of the main body of existing junior high school Chinese writing textbook according to the 7th curriculum can be divided into vocabularies(including Chinese characters, Chinese words and idioms) and sentences(including short sentences, prose and Chinese poems). The ordinary type in the theme of the main body of new Chinese writing textbook according to the amended curriculum would be not so different from this. Provided if the weight of vocabularies relatively becomes high in a textbook according to the 7th curriculum, the weight of sentences is expected to increase more in the textbook according to the amended curriculum.
