The Value and Challenges of Integrating the Concept of Common Prosperity into Ideological and Political Education in Higher Education Institutions

Common prosperity refers to the general prosperity achieved by all people through hard work and mutual assistance to achieve a standard of living that is abundant in clothing and food, which is based on eliminating polarization and poverty. It is one of the important contents of Deng Xiaoping's theory of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. "Common" represents production relations, "prosperity" represents productivity, and "common prosperity" is a narrative of production and production relations; It is neither production-oriented nor based on the goal of distribution results. The coordination between productive forces and production relations should include the co-creation of achievements, comprehensiveness of scope, and asymptotic development in the concept of common prosperity. The education of ideological and political education courses in universities is an important way to cultivate the literacy of college students and an important channel to promote the spirit of the concept of common prosperity. Integrating the idea of common prosperity into ideological and political education in universities, on the one hand, leads college students to cultivate a strong sense of patriotism, guides them to listen to and follow the Party, and strengthens their confidence in the system and values; On the other hand, it can enhance the effectiveness of ideological and political theory courses and unleash the inherent value of ideological and political education in the classroom. Faced with the long-term monotony and limited effectiveness of ideological and political courses in universities, college students have gradually become alienated from their understanding of them as "credit-based courses". It is necessary to not only give new vitality to the content and form of ideological and political courses for college students, but also promote the smooth integration of the concept of common prosperity through innovative channels, full interaction between teachers and students, and play a role in leading the true effect of value.
