A wisp of ink fragrance carries cultural heritage, and numerous writing brushes work together to write a new chapter. To deeply integrate the excellent traditional Chinese culture into the whole process of ideological and political education, the School of Marxism has specially created a "Scholarly Ideological and Political" education classroom in the practice of the course An Introduction to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. With the theme of "Brush and Ink Contain Cultural Heritage, Writing New Responsibilities", the course is carried out simultaneously on both campuses, guiding Maple Leaf students to perceive the power of thought in every stroke and firm their cultural confidence in horizontal, vertical, left-falling and right-falling strokes, so that ideological and political education can influence students silently and take root in the fragrance of ink and brush.

In class, ideological and political teachers, based on the core essence of "building a strong socialist culture" in the textbook, organically integrate theoretical teaching with calligraphy practice. Focusing on the classic expositions in Volume V of The Governance of China, students take chapters such as "Youth Responsibility", "Cultural Confidence" and "Ecological Civilization" as their writing content. They sit at their desks, hold brushes, concentrate and calm down, realizing the mission of the times of "why to write and for whom to write" as their brushes move up and down. From the dignified and square regular script to the flexible and smooth running script, the works are either vigorous and powerful or delicate and neat. They include not only devout transcriptions of golden sentences from the original works, but also sincere expressions of patriotism. When the works are displayed in classrooms and Party building venues, the writers' perseverance in ideals, reverence for culture and love for the motherland flow between the ink rhythms.

As a key education carrier created by the School of Marxism, "Scholarly Ideological and Political" guides students to read original works, learn original texts and understand original principles. Taking traditional calligraphy art as the carrier, it transforms the theoretical content of cultural confidence into a tangible, writable and sensible immersive experience. In the integration of brush and ink, students not only improve their writing skills, but also deepen their understanding and recognition of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Between the horizontal and vertical strokes, they feel not only the structural beauty of Chinese characters, but also the spiritual character of Chinese culture. This is precisely the education logic of "Scholarly Ideological and Political", making ideological and political courses not only have the height of theory and the depth of thought, but also the thickness of culture and the warmth of emotion.

Nurture the original aspiration with brush and ink, and fulfill the mission through writing. The School of Marxism will deeply cultivate practical teaching carriers such as "Scholarly Ideological and Political", and work synergistically with venue-based ideological and political education, mobile ideological and political education, walking ideological and political education, music ideological and political education and situational ideological and political education. It will continue to enrich education paths, improve education effectiveness, and strive to build the "Maple Leaf Red" ideological and political education brand with Maple Leaf characteristics. The school will guide Maple Leaf students to firm their ideals and beliefs through practical actions, and strive to grow into young people in the new era with morality in their hearts, skills in their hands and responsibilities on their shoulders.
