Junior middle school students in Liangshan Yi prefecture have some disability in learning history, which are manifested as knowledge cognition disorder, cultural and emotional barrier, learning reaction disability and learning environment disability. These obstacles are mainly caused by the self-contained language characters in the area, the unique development of its history, the lack of teachers and the inadequate learning environment. The regional nationality and the lag of economic development in this area lead to the obstacles of the History study of junior middle school students. By increasing the intensity of Chinese teaching, introducing the resources of national cultures, improving the system of teacher education and changing the way of economic development, we can help students overcome learning disabilities, improve learning efficiency and promote the development of local history teaching.
