Against the backdrop of the deepening development of “Curriculum Ideological and Political Education” construction and the inheritance of outstanding traditional Chinese culture in universities, how to achieve the dual functions of “language education” and “value shaping” in foreign language courses has become a significant issue in educational reform. As an important carrier of Sino-Japanese cultural exchange, the Japanese language course plays a unique role in disseminating Chinese culture and enhancing students' cultural confidence. Guided by educational practice and based on the concept of New Liberal Arts construction, this paper explores the integration pathway of ideological and political education and Chinese cultural communication in Japanese language courses from three dimensions: teaching content design, classroom model innovation, and digital teaching integration. The research first summarizes the main achievements and deficiencies of relevant domestic and international studies through a literature review, then explains the internal logical connection between ideological education and cultural communication at a theoretical level, and finally proposes operable implementation strategies combined with teaching practice. The study concludes that the construction of ideological and political education in the Japanese language curriculum should be centered on cultural communication and guided by value shaping, aiming to achieve the synergistic development of language ability, cultural understanding, and ideological cultivation. This provides a practical paradigm and innovative thinking for the high-quality development of foreign language education in universities.
