Abstract：Compared with the researches on the relationship between teaching and research, less researches concern the relationship between "research and publishing", and "teaching and publishing" in Chinese geography academia. In fact teaching is interdependent related to research. Academic research is the base of college teaching, while teaching is an important way to spread the research results and can contribute to research. The research results suggest that the quality and level of research and teaching are related to the publishing system. In order to improve the academic level of Chinese human geography, it is urgent to release the strict control of the academic journals. Due to the diversity of the demand for the human geography textbooks, different related textbooks are still needed. The human geography textbooks should be written based on the classic and contemporary publication of the discipline and according to the academic criteria. It is needed to enhance the dialogue and communication to learn and respect each other among the researchers and teachers. It is urgent and necessary to extend our disciplinary vision and philosophies. In order to take part in the world competition of academy, it is necessary to strengthen the consciousness of academic history, dialogue, theoretic problem and academic norms, to make our researches problem-oriented and theory-oriented, have enough local bases, and make original findings. The leading Chinese geographical journals publish very limited pedagogic research papers. The attention paid to the pedagogic research and textbook writing by Chinese human geographers is limited compared to the Western counterparts. Such a situation may have negative effect to the healthy development of the discipline.
