Wenzhou' s traditional family instruction culture is an important part of Ouyue culture and preserves substantial resources for moral education. It begins with self-cultivation and moral conduct,then extends to family order and responsibility for the state.This value orientation is consistent with the goal of moral education in universities,which seeks to prepare young people to take responsibility for national rejuvenation. Based on representative Wenzhou family instruction texts and their main ideas, this paper discusses why this local tradition matters for ideological and moral education in universities. With the help of four practical forms of integration approaches: courses,campus culture,social practice, and digital media, local family instruction culture can be turned into usable educational resources in the university setting,and effectively enhance the actual effect of cultural education.
