Exploring the Path of Integrating Excellent Traditional Chinese Culture into Ideological and Political Education in Universities

Abstract

Excellent traditional Chinese culture is the spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation. There are many problems in the current excellent traditional culture education in universities, such as students’ inadequate understanding of traditional Chinese culture, incomplete traditional culture curriculum system, relatively weak specialized teaching staff, and a weak atmosphere for traditional culture education on campus. As far as Jiangsu University is concerned, We can select content which aligns with the spirit and motto of Jiangsu University such as the patriotic sentiment of assuming responsibility for the country and nation, the enterprising spirit of self-perfection, the scientific attitude of seeking truth and pragmatism, and the ideal personality of cultivating profound virtues and characters. We can integrate excellent traditional culture into the ideological and political education by incorporating it into the curriculum and teaching system, compiling textbooks and reading materials with distinctive characteristics of the university, integrating it into online culture and campus culture, and practicing based on the unity of knowledge and action. This will aim to achieve an organic integration of excellent traditional culture and ideological and political education in universities.
