Abstract: Early period of the founding of People's Republic of China, ideological and political education in colleges and universities entered a new stage of historical development, and its theoretical and practical propositions were highly valued by the academic circle. Since the 21st century, the research results of ideological and political education in colleges and universities in the early period of the founding of New China Early period of the founding of People's Republic of China have been remarkable, mainly focusing on the analysis of the environment, the causes, the specific content, the summary of experience, the value evaluation and so on. However, after in-depth analysis of the existing results, it is found that there are still some weaknesses such as relatively narrow research vision, research methods need to be expanded, and the research depth is relatively insufficient. Based on this, future research should span the academic island chain and broaden the research horizon; break through fixed thinking and expand research methods; strengthen the theoretical analysis and deepen the research content.
