Therefore, how to effectively integrate the excellent Chinese traditional culture into the ideological and political education in colleges and universities is an important topic to be explored and studied. The beauty of Chinese excellent traditional culture lies in its cultural charm and historical heritage, which is the foundation for us to always strengthen our cultural self‐confidence. Chinese excellent traditional culture is a fertile treasure house of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities. Doing a good job of integration can not only better inherit and carry forward the Chinese excellent traditional culture, but also play an important role in excavating the depth and breadth of ideological and political theory courses and cultivating new people of the new era.
