Among them, educating people with excellent Chinese traditional culture, the red revolutionary culture, the advanced socialist culture and critical reference of excellence foreign cultures, and actively playing the important role of literary works and cultural industries in realizing the goal of cultural education constitute the cornerstone and core content of the CPC’s thought on cultural education. In the new era, a systematic review and examination of the cultural education thought of the Communist Party of China is of great value and significance for the current era of revitalizing cultural confidence, building a strong cultural power, and enhancing the cultural connotation of ideological and political education.
