Abstract: As a precious spiritual treasure of the Chinese nation, the revolutionary spirit, historical memory and values carried by red culture play an irreplaceable role in the ideological and political education of higher vocational colleges. The deep integration of red culture can effectively improve students ' historical cognitive literacy, strengthen the foundation of their ideals and beliefs, significantly strengthen their sense of responsibility, and further enrich and deepen the practical teaching of ideological and political theory courses. However, in the process of integrating red culture into ideological and political education in higher vocational colleges, there are some problems, such as the ambiguity of value cognition, the inefficiency of cooperation among educational subjects, the inaccuracy of educational content selection and the singleness of educational methods. By deepening value cognition, strengthening subject coordination, systematically grasping content, and innovating education methods, we hope to comprehensively improve the quality and efficiency of talent training.
