In recent years, English teaching in Chinese universities has long emphasized the culture of the target language while neglecting local culture, leading to students experiencing Chinese cultural aphasia. This study aims to analyze this situation and explore how to integrate excellent Chinese traditional culture into university English teaching in a cross-cultural context. The goal is to enhance students awareness and identification with Chinese culture and improve their intercultural communication skills. Through measures such as adding courses, compiling textbooks, classroom teaching, and cultural experiences, university English education can not only improve students language abilities but also cultivate versatile talents with an international perspective and Chinese sentiment. This will contribute to the construction of a world-class higher education system with Chinese characteristics.
