Under the background of globalization, culture teaching is becoming more and more important. English textbook is the main carrier of culture teaching. In order to integrate the Chinese culture better, this paper analyzed the elements of Chinese culture in the textbooks and found that the textbooks emphasize material culture rather than spiritual culture, value cultural input rather than cultural output, and lack of deep culture and revolutionary culture. Therefore, distribution of Chinese theme culture should be balanced in New Senior High English Textbooks, the structure of Chinese culture should be adjusted and optimized, and Chinese culture should be strengthened as the main multi-cultural input and harmonious ecological culture output, only in this way, can we realize the organic integration of Chinese culture and middle school textbooks better.
