Entering the new era, the discourse of patriotic education in universities faces realistic challenges in terms of identity, system, dominance, and harmony. For this reason, universities must focus on the goal of achieving the roots of college students’ patriotism, analyze the causes of discourse supply and demand contradiction, multiple output, power displacement, and integration game, then explore solutions in terms of discourse concept, discourse content, discourse expression, discourse dissemination, and discourse atmosphere.
