The cultivation of college students’ socialist core value outlook is the core of the ideological and political work in colleges and universities. As the pioneer carrying core values, the contemporary college students are faced with the realistic dilemma of cultural inferiority and conceit. Only by taking “benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith” as the core of the traditional values as a prerequisite, and by understanding its links and compatibility with the core values of socialism with Chinese characteristics, can we strengthen college students’ internalization of cultural self-confidence, cultivate externalized practitioners of socialist core value outlook by taking benevolence as the emotional basic point, taking righteousness as value standard, taking etiquette as behavior norm, taking wisdom as thinking initiation and taking faith as the principle to deal with other people, and cultivate the defenders with “solidified” legal spirit.
