Abstract: As the precious spiritual wealth accumulated by the CPC in the long-term revolutionary struggle practice, the red cultural resources profoundly demonstrate the Chinese people’s indomitable revolutionary spirit and unswerving ideals and beliefs, and play an irreplaceable role in the ideological and political education of college students. The digital empowerment of red cultural resources in universities can expand the reserve of teaching resources, broaden the channels of education, meet learning demands, improve teaching effectiveness, promote red culture, and cultivate new talents of the times. However, it also faces the practical difficulties of poor digital literacy of university teachers and students, limited digital level of red cultural resources, and insufficient coordination and linkage between inside and outside the university. With the support of current digital technology, effective paths can be taken to enhance the digital literacy of university teachers and students, strengthen the deep exploration and integration of digital red cultural resources, and promote the deep integration of red cultural industries and teaching practices to promote digital empowerment of university red cultural resource education.
