Accompanied with the development of human society, culture provides strong spiritual power for social progress in the beginning of its birth. Affected by positive cultural environments, human beings who conduct activities in cultural environments will have healthy and optimistic thoughts. However, decayed and backward cultural environments will result in negative and stubborn thoughts. Therefore, the huge role that the cultural environment plays in the development of people’s thoughts should not be ignored. Culture, as a soft power, is an important and indispensable driving force for realizing the great revival of Chinese nation. In recent years, culture has demonstrated its powerful force and influence in social development, which has made an increasing number of people begin to notice the actual conditions of culture environment construction and development. Colleges and universities, as cultural highlands should cultivate more talents with high quality and innovation capacity for social development and progress. As a kind of educational activity in human socialization, ideological and political education also undertakes social functions, such as guiding, shaping and inspiring. The ideological and political education system is an independent one, but its development is inseparable from changes of its surroundings and is bound to be affected by the cultural environment. Cultural environment has extremely strong ideological and political education connotations in guidance, cohesion, inspiration, radiation and other functions. As the objective reality which has had a significant influence on human life, environment is the sum total of natural and social conditions on which human beings depend for existence and development. Colleges and universities are no exception. University cultural environments not only show their cultural deposits, natural environments, teaching facilities and other external things, but also provide students with intrinsic culture that their knowledge learning, youth sprinkling, emotion cultivating and other behavioral and emotional activities can rely on, use for reference and make use of. Although university cultural environment construction and ideological and political education activities have different connotations, forms and functions and can not replace each other in cultivating high-quality talents, they are still associated with each other. There are relations of mutual promotion and restriction, penetration and containment in the construction, development and talent cultivation in colleges and universities.In the new period when China has the growing opening to the outside world and rapid economic take-off, university ideological and political education should seize this development opportunity and utilize the optimization of cultural environment construction to improve work practicality and effectiveness. It should try to overcome problems existing in the current cultural environment construction, such as insufficient emphasis and participation, absorb the beneficial ingredients in traditional culture and the excellent modern culture, refine campus culture spirit with its own characteristics, infiltrate the influence of cultural environment into every link of ideological and political education and promote ideological and political education to cultivate more outstanding modern innovative talents who conform to the requirements for the society.
