Introduction:
Broadly speaking, curriculum is an educational experience, which is the sum of various factors that have a positive impact on the subject; In a narrow sense, curriculum refers to the educational factors existing and generated in the school field, which are helpful for students' positive and healthy development, as well as the educational experience gained by students.
The word "curriculum" first appeared in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China. In the Tang Dynasty, Kong Ying Da gave a brief explanation of the sentence "Sleeping in a temple, a gentleman makes it" in The Book of Songs: "Teaching and nursing courses must be supervised by a gentleman and made according to law." But the meaning of the courses here is far from what we usually call courses.
