Dongguan, located in the core area of Lingnan culture, benefits from the integration of Cantonese, Hakka, and maritime cultures, providing a solid cultural foundation for universities to carry out the "ideological education + traditional culture”educational practice. Based on the Marxist view of culture and the theory of the "second integration”, this study explains the value of integrating Lingnan culture into university ideological education, analyzes the current practices and existing problems in traditional culture education in Dongguan Universities, and then constructs a five-in-one educational model of “value guidance, curriculum integration, practical immersion, digital empowerment, and faculty support”, along with its implementation paths. The study shows that building this educational model from the perspective of Lingnan culture requires adhering to the Marxist view of culture, exploring the ideological elements within Lingnan culture, innovating educational methods, improving collaborative mechanisms, and achieving the organic integration of cultural inheritance and value guidance, so as to provide theoretical and practical support for cultivating new-era talents with cultural confidence and contemporary spirit.Lingnan Culture,Dongguan Universities,Ideological and Political Education,Traditional Culture Education,Educational Model
