However, the current system requires that 9 subjects should still be taken before the second year of high school. But at present, this is only a symbolic reservation in many schools, and it is more just to cope with exams or superior inspections. Teachers don't pay much attention to practical teaching, and most students despise these subjects. The school will directly delete these subjects from the curriculum after exams or other inspections. There are also differences in mathematics between liberal arts and science.

With the advancement of the new curriculum reform, the system of separating arts and sciences will be gradually abolished.

After Chinese mainland 1949, there was an urgent need for professionals, so the pace of differentiation between arts and sciences began. First, eight earliest foreign language schools, including Xi 'an, Nanjing and Chongqing, were established, and the merger of universities began in the 1950s.

In order to meet the demand of professional talents, similar professional colleges have been merged into professional colleges since 1952, and a college system adapted to the planned economic system has been established. Such a merger has strengthened the professionalism of engineering colleges, but it has also caused a narrow scope of majors, and the separation of science and engineering, arts and sciences, grammar, finance and economics has also been cut.

However, before the end of the Cultural Revolution, there was no division of arts and sciences in senior high schools in Chinese mainland. 1977 after the college entrance examination system was restored, senior high school liberal arts departments began to classify and select talents.
