If the textbook writers use rhetorical figures to present their intention and attitude, We need to find them in the textbook. I analyzed the subjacent system of metadiscourse to know how the rhetorical figures were used in the text book from the 1st curriculum to the 7th curriculum. The rhetorical figures are divided into four groups, that is, emphasis, conviction, valuation and supposition. In the textbook, emphasis and valuation are mainly used by writers to express their attitude or intention. and valuation and supposition are followed. Meanwhile, there are several factors that influence the way rhetorical figures change. First of all, The curriculum, the conformity of compiling history text books and conversion to the state books affect the change of rhetorical figures. Second, the textbook writer's private style and jointly writing also affect them . Last, the results from the study reflected in the textbook change the rhetorical figures. It is desirable that rhetorical figures should be naturally presented if they help read the textbook.
