Objectives The purpose of this study is to figure out the actual situation of the amount of learning, emphasis, teaching content, and teaching strategies of the required content of the general high school technology education courses in China by analyzing Chinese 2017 revised general high school first-grade technology textbooks. Methods In this study, the external and internal structures of textbooks were analyzed using the content analysis method and the descriptive research method. In the external structure of the textbooks, the layout, the total num-ber of pages in a large unit, and the number of illustrations were analyzed, and in the internal structure, the struc-ture of the content organization of each unit of the textbooks, the fields of content composition, and the weight of each field were analyzed. Results Chinese 2017 revised general high school first-grade technology textbooks were analyzed and evaluated for their external structure (the layout, the total number of pages in a large unit, and the number of illustrations) and internal structure (the structure of the content organization of each unit, the field of content composition, and the weight of each field). Finally, by comparing Chinese 2017 revised first-grade general high school technology textbooks with Korean 2015 revised general high school technology textbook, insights are drawn from the fea-tures that Korean technology textbook itself does not possess. Conclusions First, Chinese 2017 revised general high school first-grade technology textbooks, as compulsory textbooks, has achieved positive results in terms of facilitating school use and management, guaranteeing teach-ers' professionalism and learners' right to quality learning, and conforming to the orientation of the high school credit system. Second, in order to cultivate technological competence, the core strength of future human re-sources required by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the hyper-connected society, the amount of learning content in Chinese 2017 revised first-grade general high school technology textbooks is about two times more than that in Korean general high school technology textbook. Third, most of Chinese 2017 revised first-grade technology textbooks are developed through the process of “large unit introduction, medium unit introduction, small unit (introduction, deployment, and organization), medium unit organization, and large unit organization”. Fourth, in Chinese 2017 revised first-grade technology textbooks for general high schools, the main organizing factor of the teaching content is design technology (drawing technology, model making), which focuses on the design of technological products.
