The combination of reading and writing is an important component in the traditional pedagogy of Chinese Language education. The relationship between reading and writing has gone through several stages: from the ancient separation of reading and writing in pedagogy, both of which followed a stepbystep procedure, to facilitating writing with reading in modern times, and then to the diversified relationship of the two in the contemporary times. Reflecting on the current situation of the practice of the combination of reading and writing, this study finds some problems, such as the narrow and rigid binding points and the unreasonable combination sequence. Under the background of the new educational philosophy and the development of the Chinese language curriculum, there is a need for diversified patterns of the combination of reading and writing, appropriate orientation of mimetic writing, enlargement of the text types for the combination of reading and writing. Improvement and innovation should be made on the basis of inheriting traditional experience to improve the teaching quality of reading and writing in the combination.
