The textbooks used in high schools in different urban areas of Shanxi are different. For example, the textbooks used in Datong, Yangquan, Changzhi and Linfen are all from People's Education Publishing House. English textbooks used in Taiyuan, Jincheng, Shuozhou, Xinzhou, Lvliang, Jinzhong and Yuncheng are published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. At the same time, senior two and senior three subjects still use the version used in 20 19.

According to the national deployment and the work arrangement of Shanxi Province, the new high school curriculum and new teaching materials will be uniformly implemented throughout the province from the beginning of the fall semester in 2020. All subjects in senior one use textbooks published by the original textbook publishing house and revised according to the 20 17 version of curriculum standards, among which ideological and political, Chinese and history subjects are uniformly stipulated by the state. The version used in 20 19 is still used in senior two and senior three subjects. Among them, the senior one catalogue is the basis for senior one students to use new textbooks.
