Study on Countermeasures to Improve the Cultural Confidence of Young College Students ()
1. Introduction
Young college students are important participants, witnesses and strivers in the course of the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Young college students are the main force to inherit, develop and innovate the culture. Their cultural confidence directly affects the realization of cultural power and the realization of the goal of socialist modernization. In the new era, it is necessary for young college students to become builders and successors of the socialist cause with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor. The cultural self-confidence of young college students is not only a simple cultural identity, but also a way to internalize the culture into their own accomplishment on the basis of cultural identity, which is manifested in their own practical actions and shows their national culture with a highly confident attitude. At present, promoting the cultural self-confidence of young college students is the emphasis of ideological and political work in colleges and universities, as well as the due meaning required by the new era.
2. Following the Fundamental to Promote the Cultural Self-Confidence of Young College Students
1) Stick to Chinese culture
Stand firm on Chinese culture. First, we must adhere to the guidance of Marxism. Marxism is the compass of social undertakings with Chinese characteristics. The combination of Marxism and China’s concrete practice produces the latest theoretical achievements of Sinicization of Marxism. Some college students only study Marxist theory from the perspective of exam-oriented, without systematic cognition and understanding of Marxist theory and the latest theoretical achievements of Marxism in China [1]. In the new era, young students must consciously take Marxism as a guide, and use the viewpoints and methods contained in Xi jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to solve practical problems in their study and life, so as to realize the mastery of learning, thinking and application of new thoughts. Knowledge, faith, unity. Second, the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics is deeply rooted in the excellent traditional culture and great practice, and thus has Chinese characteristics, Chinese style. To stand firm on Chinese culture is the expression of firm cultural confidence. Young college students should have a deep understanding of their own culture and develop the Chinese culture through innovation.
2) Base on the reality of contemporary China
Based on the reality of contemporary China, the key is to have a deep understanding that the new era is an era of decisive victory in completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and the building of a great modern socialist country in all respects. First of all, we must be fully aware that although China is getting closer and closer to our goal, we must not be blindly optimistic. We must maintain a calm and stable attitude and constantly remind ourselves that China’s development still lags far behind the goal of becoming a world power. Secondly, we must clearly see that although the Chinese culture has been continuously inherited for five thousand years, the impact of various forces on the Chinese culture is huge, leading to the lack of cultural confidence of some Chinese people. Finally, with a high sense of mission and responsibility, college students should strive to develop and innovate the advanced socialist culture, meet people’s higher requirements for spiritual and cultural life, and explain to the world the “developing, open and seeking greater common ground for the world” based on the reality of contemporary China [2].
3) Combining the Conditions of the Current Era
The combination of the conditions of the current era requires young college students to grasp the characteristics of The Times and the law and trend of cultural development, so that cultural confidence always reflects the requirements of The Times and reflects the spirit of The Times. Firstly, we should introduce the excellent cultural achievements of other countries and nations, adopt the attitude of learning from them and actively absorb the beneficial elements. Secondly, we must deeply realize that during the period of great changes at home and abroad, China’s ideological field is facing a severe and complex situation. Some western countries try to overthrow the leadership of the communist party and the socialist system through cultural invasion. Western culture enters China wrapped in “sugar coating” and tries to attract college students to use for it, thus reaching a plot to disrupt the society and overthrow the regime. Thirdly, the main way for today’s college students to get information is the Internet. The network information is complicated, and the good and bad are intermingled. College students should improve their ability to identify and select information, and be highly alert to foreign cultures.
3. Strategies to Enhance the Cultural Confidence of Young College Students

In a way that students are happy to see, Xi Jinping thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era can penetrate into students’ hearts, so that students can truly understand the connotation, content and requirements of cultural confidence. Thirdly, the collaborative education mechanism should be constructed. The improvement of students’ cultural confidence is not a task that can be completed by a single department. It requires all departments to cooperate with each other, adhere to the principle of joint efforts to educate people, and achieve the effect of educating people. Finally, we should use Internet technology to consolidate the main position of network ideology. Internet technology is increasingly mature, the rapid popularization of network mobile media terminals, by the young people’s favor and love. In order to prevent the corruption of the minds of young college students by the content of yellow culture, violence culture, religious culture and anti-socialist culture, colleges and universities must seize the main battlefield of the Internet, firmly grasp the ideology of students and enhance their cultural confidence.

At the same time, the combination of explicit positive publicity education and implicit imperceptible education can change indoctrination education into active learning and forced implementation into active practice. The second is to carry forward the advanced model function. By inviting outstanding social figures, outstanding alumni and advanced representatives of college students to make regular reports and exchanges for young college students, we can give play to their demonstration power and appeal power, so as to infect young college students with excellent power and improve their cultural confidence. At the same time, college teachers should set an example for students with their own exemplary behavior and noble ethics. Third, build a Shared platform for cultivating socialist core values among colleges and universities. Colleges and universities should strengthen cooperation and communication, release information and cases on the Shared platform, optimize the allocation of educational resources, and guide students to cultivate and practice socialist core values. Fourth, the creative transformation and innovative development of the fine traditional Chinese culture. Through innovation and development of traditional culture, we should dig deep into the ideological concepts, moral standards and humanistic spirit contained in it and turn them into the Chinese spirit and strength in the new era.

In personal thought and action with the party central committee to maintain a high degree of consistency. The second is to carry out moral cultivation projects.
