Strengthening the research on the rich ideological connotation and positive value of clean culture in universities has important theoretical and practical significance for absorbing the essence of clean culture, further developing and utilizing its modern cultural theoretical value. The integration of a culture of integrity into universities and the teaching of ideological and political courses is an important measure for universities to lead campus culture, and it is also a necessary path to promote the optimization and construction of a culture of integrity in universities. Especially at present, universities must steadfastly promote the construction of Party conduct and clean governance, as well as the fight against corruption, and strive to "build universities into model places of stability and unity." [2] Strengthening the integration of clean culture into the teaching of ideological and political courses in universities is conducive to cultivating students' integrity and self-discipline, inheriting excellent traditional Chinese culture, and creating and promoting a good trend of advocating integrity and resisting corruption. It is also a powerful driving force for promoting the construction of a clean campus, which requires long-term efforts and unremitting efforts.
