Abstract: The governance modernization of ideological and political education is an integral part of the modernization of China's system and capacity for governance. In the context of the construction of digital China, a basic dimension of the governance modernization of ideological and political education is the development of media. At the theoretical level, the governance modernization of ideological and political education is a necessary step to promote the realization of human modernization, maintain ideological security and improve the level of governance. In addition, it is necessary to clarify the coupling relationship between digital intelligent technology and governance modernization of ideological and political education, and elaborate on the validity and limitions of technology-enabled governance modernization of ideological and political education. At the practical level, it is imperative to overcome two wrong recognitions of technology, including "emphasizing value over tools" and "valuing data over humanities" and construct a flexible paradigm of ideological governance by focusing on ideological issues such as ideals, beliefs, values and moral concepts to enhance the effectiveness of ideological governance.
