Abstract “Yuwen”, the Chinese word as the name of our mother tongue course shows the lack of national identity in the name of Chinese Language Curriculum. This issue has been neglected for a long time, which also caused the overlook of the unique characteristic of Chinese mother tongue course. Meanwhile, it goes against learners’ native language learning and the sense of national identity as well as cultural identity. The lack of nation identity in the name of our mother tongue course results from the Desinicization during the founding period of new China, and it is a product of the writing system reform around the world in 1940 ’. We should name our mother tongue “Hanyu course” rather than “Yuwen course” in order to deepen the curriculum reform, and to promote the scientific construction process of our native language and make contribution to enhance the soft power of Chinese culture.
