Abstract: How to transform the organizational strengths of the University Communist Youth League into effective outcomes in ideological and political education within the framework of the “Great Ideological and Political Education” system represents a significant theoretical and practical question. It must be grounded in the political orientation of educating for the Party and cultivating talent for the nation, closely aligned with the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, and aim to nurture socialist builders and successors capable of shouldering the great responsibilities of the era. From the perspective of intrinsic logic, empowering the “Great Ideological and Political Education” system is both a historical mission of the University Communist Youth League and the contemporary requirement for upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground in university ideological and political education, with the two being inherently connected in their educational objectives, work domains, and practical methods. Regarding functional orientation, this empowerment demonstrates a multi-layered and structural character, encompassing four key functions: ideological cultivation, practical education, organizational development, and cultural enrichment. In terms of practical pathways, the University Communist Youth League must continuously advance its own capacity building, enhance its theoretical competence and the organizational strength of its grassroots units, broaden its scope of work, fully participate in the construction of the “Great Ideological and Political Education” curriculum, integrate into the main channel and primary front of education, actively improve the existing structural framework of ideological and political work, and thereby facilitate the comprehensive construction and optimization of the educational field, cultivation methods, and educution framework.
