The profound articulation of the cultural attributes of knowledge is crucial for realizing its educational value and facilitating its transformation into pedagogical wisdom. Aiming at the problem of insufficient integration of cultural attributes in geography education, an integration path including four stages of cultural understanding, cultural exploration, cultural identity, and cultural confidence is constructed, which is based on the connotation and composition of cultural attributes in knowledge. At the same time, it clarifies the interrelated mechanism of the integration path and proposes specific strategies for the stage. In the course design, we should strengthen the exploration and organization of cultural understanding. In classroom teaching, cultural inquiry ability is cultivated through situational cases. In terms of practical activities, experiential participation promotes the formation of cultural identity. In teaching evaluation, cultural confidence is cultivated through diversified guidance methods. This provides a practical reference for the implementation of cultural education in geography.
