Political values are people's basic views and perspectives on the political system and political life of the society they live in. Based on young students' conceptions and views of the general political community and general political values, this paper divides young students' political values into eight dimensions: national view, political party view, government view, ethnic view, democratic view, justice view, rule of law and rights view. By exploring the structure and characteristics of young students' political values, this paper proposes an effective path to cultivate young students' correct political values, which will help young students buckle the first button of life, promote their all‐round development and shoulder the responsibility of the times for national rejuvenation.
