At present, the presentation of culture in Chinese Russian-language textbooks exhibits several prominent issues: repetitive and fragmented content, an overemphasis on Russian culture, and an imbalance in the proportion of Chinese and foreign cultural elements. This study proposes that the design of Russian-language textbooks should draw upon the “cultural connection perspective”, proposed by Professor Wen Qiufang, which uses key values as a guiding principle, distinguishes between surface and deep culture, and constructs a dynamic cultural network that spans secondary and higher education. This approach aims to achieve a tiered presentation of cultural knowledge within the textbooks, as well as the organic integration of cultivating students’ cultural understanding and shaping their cultural values.
