Contemporary college students in China need quality education in a real sense, and the fundamental way to improve the quality of college students lies in reading, reading the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and reading the fine works full of humanistic spirit in the world cultural treasure house. Reading these books can cultivate sentiment, purify the soul, increase knowledge and wisdom, and enhance humanistic quality.

Reading can directly improve the cultural quality of college students. Cultural quality, also known as cultural accomplishment, is a person's internal quality, which is synthesized by knowledge, ability, concept, emotion and will, and externalized into a person's character, temperament and accomplishment. Culture can give us a lot of direct and indirect life experiences and philosophies, and help us understand the world and our responsibilities to society.

There are many innovative ideas in humanistic knowledge, which can directly inspire us. For example, Confucius once said, "Gentlemen are harmonious but different, while villains are at odds." Although people with high cultural literacy have different personalities, they can be very harmonious together; Although villains don't have their own personality, they can't be harmonious together, which is very enlightening for college students to learn to treat people and things and deal with interpersonal relationships.

Talents in 2 1 century must have high cultural quality. Only with high cultural quality and profound cultural connotation can college students become noble, harmonious and all-round people in the future, and become people who live in harmony with society and are welcomed by society. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen college students' study and understanding of excellent culture, read the essence of excellent culture in their spare time, and make themselves talents with noble cultural quality and profound cultural accomplishment in order to succeed in the future competition.

Reading can comprehensively promote the improvement of college students' comprehensive quality. Suhomlinski, a writer of the former Soviet Union, once said, "In today's era, people's intellectual development depends more and more on whether they are good at identifying directions in the vast ocean of knowledge and making good use of books, a knowledge warehouse." Reading can mold a perfect person. Only by reading can contemporary college students keep up with the society. Only by deeply understanding the excellent culture that belongs to all of us can contemporary college students become a proud new generation of China and even the world with confidence.

In view of this, colleges and universities should provide a good reading environment for college students, and college students should improve their comprehensive quality through reading and become real college students in the new century.
