Excellent traditional Chinese language and culture are important carriers of Chinese civilization, and a core support for fulfilling the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education and building a culturally strong nation. The inheritance of excellent traditional Chinese language and culture through education is a systematic and comprehensive educational project, whose effective advancement relies on the coordinated efforts of multiple core elements. From the perspective of educational research, combined with national policy orientation and practical research results, this paper disassembles the core inheriting elements into four modules: cultural core, educational implementation, resource support, and communication and promotion. It systematically analyzes the connotation, functions and interrelations of each element, constructs a collaborative system of “core guidance – implementation – support – communication extension”, and puts forward targeted practical paths. The study aims to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for the transformation of relevant achievements and teaching practice, and help realize the living inheritance and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese language and culture.
