To cater to the needs of primary and middle school students overseas or those planning to take the YCT exam in learning Chinese as a foreign language, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) has designed a set of textbooks called the YCT Standard Course. The textbooks serve as a medium of learning and embody mainstream social values, greatly impacting learners’ social identity and sense of responsibility. The aim of this study is to investigate gender identity in the YCT Standard Course, with a focus on gender stereotypes. The article employs both quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, using the perspective of gender roles, to systematically analyse the YCT Standard Course. The results indicate that the authors of the book have not given enough consideration to gender equality. Finally, several recommendations for improving gender equality in the textbook have been proposed.
