Abstract

In the era of deepening globalization and cultural confidence development, higher vocational education, as the primary arena
for cultivating high-quality technical and skilled talents, has transcended mere skill transmission to embrace the fundamental mission of
"cultivating people through culture and nurturing through beauty." This paper systematically explores the value connotations and practical
pathways of integrating Chinas excellent traditional culture into aesthetic education in higher vocational colleges. The research indicates
that traditional culture not only enhances students aesthetic literacy through its rich aesthetic resources but also shapes professional ethics
and strengthens cultural identity through cultural cores like the "craftsman spirit." Addressing current challenges such as "overemphasis on
skills at the expense of culture" and "integration without cohesion, " this paper proposes a "five-in-one" practical approach encompassing
"curriculum systems, campus culture, digital technology, faculty teams, and evaluation mechanisms." The aim is to provide systematic solutions for advancing aesthetic education reform in higher vocational institutions and cultivating new-era craftsmen who combine technical
expertise with cultural depth.
