College students are in an important period of the formation and development of world outlook, outlook on life and values. In this period, college students urgently need to keep learning and strive to improve and perfect themselves under the correct education and guidance of the school. Strengthening college students' ideological and moral cultivation is the basic requirement of socialist education policy and the need for college students to become talents. The course "Ideological and Moral Cultivation" can help college students learn useful spiritual nourishment from a large number of historical and realistic materials and vivid examples, gain psychological enlightenment of truth, goodness and beauty, correctly master the theories and methods of ideological and moral cultivation, improve their comprehensive quality, and strive to create achievements worthy of the times and their own. Specifically, it includes the following three functions:

First of all, it is helpful for students to realize the transition from middle school to university, and to better complete the development tasks during their college years. The transition from middle school to university is an important stage of college students' life development, which will undergo new tests in many aspects. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for development. However, due to the contemporary social background, individual characteristics and personal experience, the problems encountered by college students at this turning point in recent years are more prominent, which seriously affects the completion and all-round development of college students' educational tasks. By studying the course "Ideological and Moral Cultivation", we can help college students improve their own quality, increase their ability to cope with various challenges in reality, adapt to the new learning and living environment as soon as possible, complete various development tasks during their college years, and become useful talents for social development.

Secondly, it is helpful for young students to actively explore the specific problems of life and their philosophies, and choose and embark on the road to success as soon as possible. As college students leave their families and gradually integrate into society, they will face more and more specific problems about personal and social development, which will lead to corresponding thinking about life and social problems. The course "Ideological and Moral Cultivation" aims at this characteristic of college students' development, starting from the specific problems faced by college students during their college years, and then discussing the philosophical problems of life and social development through specific phenomena, which is helpful for young students to clear the fog of market economy, avoid the interference of western capitalist value orientation, establish a correct attitude, purpose and values of life, and set a correct course for their success.

Finally, the study of the course "Ideological and Moral Cultivation" will also help young students to constantly improve themselves and realize a new realm of themselves. Self-cultivation has always been an important realm of intellectuals in China, which is not only the goal of individual development of young people, but also an important guarantee of socialist moral construction. Contemporary college students have assumed important responsibilities in the process of socialist spiritual civilization construction, and the party and government have also placed ardent hopes on them. Through the study of the course, we can help young students to carry forward the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, learn the essence of the cultures of all ethnic groups in the world, and truly show their life value.
