Abstract The history of chemistry is more and more widely used in the classroom, but most of them are the history of Western science and few are the history of Chinese chemistry. How to enhance cultural self-confidence and humanistic quality in chemistry classroom? To solve this problem, taking the “sulfur” teaching in the second compulsory volume of the new textbook of the people's education edition as an example to start the exploration journey of Chinese sulfur culture. This paper launches a clear timeline, sorts out the understanding and application of sulfur in various dynasties, runs through the history of the rise and fall of Chinese science and technology, develops students' scientific concepts, improves the core literacy of disciplines, and enhances cultural self-confidence and cultural self-improvement.
