Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, ideological and political education in colleges and universities has been gradually formed and developed by applying the Marxist world outlook and methodology, and by earnestly summarizing the practical experience of ideological and political education in colleges and universities, and constantly deepening the understanding of the objective laws of its scientific development. Its educational objects are college students, and its educational goal is to cultivate qualified socialist builders and reliable successors who are all-round developed in morality, intelligence, physical fitness and aesthetics. Entering the new era, starting from the educational objects of ideological and political education in colleges and universities, we can say that the environment of ideological and political education in colleges and universities refers to the sum total of all external conditions and factors surrounding college students that have an impact on the activities of ideological and political education in colleges and universities and the formation and development of college students' ideological and moral qualities.
