Theoretical Construction and Practical Path Innovation for Integrating Yellow River Culture Into the Cultivation of Cultural Confidence in University Students

Guided by the significant theoretical principle of the “Two Integrations” and grounded in Marxist cultural theory as its methodological basis, this paper constructs a bidirectional interpretative model linking “Yellow River Culture” with “Cultural Confidence”. It proposes an integrated “Objective-Content-Path-Support” framework. Through the synergy of three-dimensional objectives, adaptation of stratified content, innovation in four-dimensional pathways, and support from a three-dimensional guarantee system, this framework establishes a closed-loop operational mechanism of “Curriculum-Practice-Evaluation-Feedback”. The study focuses on core issues in integrating Yellow River culture into university education practices, such as content construction, methodological pathways, and institutional guarantees. It aims to provide a systematic reference for universities to fulfill their fundamental task of “fostering virtue and cultivating talent” and to serve the national strategies for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.
