This paper analyzes the current situation and deficiencies of sexual physiology and health education resources in rural primary schools in China. Due to traditional cultural concepts, uneven distribution of educational resources, and shortage of teaching staff, rural primary school students face many challenges in sexual physiology and health education. The article points out that the taboo concept of the Confucian culture towards sexual topics makes it difficult to carry out sex education in families and schools, and the shortage of teachers and insufficient teacher training further aggravate this problem. To improve the current situation, the article suggests strengthening teacher training, improving educational policies, and promoting the balanced development of educational resources between urban and rural areas, in order to enhance the health literacy and quality of life of rural students.
