On the basis of literature research, this paper divides the course of the development of Deyu courses, or special moral education curriculum, in Chinese primary and secondary schools since the reform and opening up into three important stages: 1. the period of restoration and initial reform (1977-2000); 2. Period of breakthrough and overall reform (2001-2015); 3. The period of reflection and precipitation of reform (2016-). There is a great change, but also a certain continuity in the development of Deyu curriculum in China in the past 40 years. Through the history reviewing, this paper makes a concrete analysis of the development, characteristics, problems and challenges of the Deyu curriculum in Chinese primary and secondary schools. This paper argues that China in the 21st century has entered a "new era" indeed, but how to respond to this "new era" has become one of the most important challenges facing China's Deyu.
