Abstract Based on the core competence of “macroscopic identification and microscopic exploration”, this paper classifies and compares the thinking columns of new and old textbooks published by People’s Education Press under the theme of “properties and applications of hydrocarbons and their derivatives”. The results show that the content design of the new textbook conforms to the requirements of the curriculum standards, but there are significant differences in the distribution of literacy level, the externalization of cognitive perspective and the standardization of symbolic representation compared with the old textbook. Based on this, this paper puts forward four suggestions for the use of new textbooks: Changing the traditional cognition, paying attention to the function of guidance and evaluation; Grasping the logic of textbooks and realizing the cognitive structural function; Paying attention to symbolic representation and giving full play to the normative function of new textbooks; Integrating the optimized situation and implementing the educational function of the new textbook.
