Abstract The key of Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) mathematics is the students' mathematical literacy, especially focusing on students abstract-thinking ability. Through the analysis of PISA scores of 2012 and 2015, we can get the following findings. ① Whether the whole literacy or higher level literacy, Chinese students stand at the leading statue. ② Chinese students' performance declined in recent 3 years, especially in the highest level literacy performance. ③ The performance of the whole world are keeping stable. Based on the above findings, we put forward the following insights. Firstly, we should recognize the leading position of Chinese math education all over the world, and we also should have faith in the traditional teaching methods in China, even maintaining its advantages. Secondly, we should be cautious of the decline of the Chinese performance, looking for the reasons of decline, and drawing on the experience of Shanghai. Thirdly, deeply thinking on the success of East Asia students, digging on the cultural mechanism imbedding in the education, restoring the original and rich picture of East Asia education are necessary.
