Abstract: China's patriotism education is facing the challenge of "two overall situations" in the new era, and the ideological struggle in China is more complicated. To better deal with the challenges, patriotism education must adhere to the unity of patriotism, love of the party and love socialism in the value orientation, as well as a deep analysis of the socialist system and the concept of the Communist Party of China in charge of the people. Meanwhile, we must adhere to the unity of cultural identity and political identity, and pay more attention to political identity and system on the basis of building a cultural community of "Chinese nation". The education of identity must be consistent with the interests of our country and the fate of mankind, isolating ourselves from the narrow sense of nationalism. In practice, we should follow the life logic of patriotism education, enhance the cultural confidence of the educated, and do a good job in the innovation of discourse system.
