Abstract:How to integrate the Chinese dream into ideological and political theory course effectively has become a major problem which needs colleges to think about and solve. Ideological and political theory course should be based on “interpreting the dream”, “seeking the dream”, “constructing the dream",and “realizing the dream” as the key points. The scientific connotations of the Chinese dream should be lectured thoroughly, making the young college students understand that the Chinese dream is meaningful to both the nation and individuals, that it is significant in yesterday, today, and tomorrow, that it belongs to China and also to the world. The historical connotations of the Chinese dream should be lectured clearly, making college students realize fully that the Chinese dream carries the long-cherished wish of generations of Chinese people and represents the overall interests of the Chinese nation and the Chinese people. The contemporary value of the Chinese dream should be lectured lively, making the college students understand the theoretical value and realistic significance of the Chinese dream on the levels of the world, the state, the nation,and the individual. The realization paths of the Chinese dream should be lectured specifically, guiding and encouraging the young college students to follow the CPC on “the road of Chinese characteristics”,to carry on “Chinese spirit”, and to display “youth powver”.
