摘要

A story of unity between the nation and religious leaders, the constitutional revolution of 1906 holds a significant place in official history and is, in the words of the supreme leader, a past to be proud of. Paradoxically, however, since its early portrayal in the 1980s, the narrative has been reduced by more than 50%, reflecting the state’s desire to speak less about a past it regards as central to its myth of emancipation. As a reluctant narrator, how do textbooks portray this proud past? The chapter will answer this question.
