Abstract: Patriotism education is a systematic project, which can be endowed with height, depth and warmth through effectively integration of educational resources in the new era. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has gradually formed the "Four Greatness" policy in governing the country, providing a practical guidance for solving new problems and drawing a grand blueprint for realizing the historical mission of the Party in the new era. It is of great theoretical and practical significance to tap vivid and realistic patriotic education materials, reveal the rich connotation and strengthen the theoretical basis of patriotic education based on the "Four Greatness" policy. At present, we should guide people to fully understand the chronicity, complexity and arduousness of the socialist cause in the great struggle, guide people to love the Party, the country and socialism in advancing the great cause, guide people to temper their patriotic initiatives in the great project of Party building, and guide people to cultivate their patriotic feelings in the common goal of realizing great Chinese dreams.

Key words: the great struggle, the great cause, the great project, the great dream, new era, patriotism education
