With the progress of society and the improvement of educational level, the self-cultivation of ideological and political course teachers in universities has become a key concern of society and the country. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also proposed to improve the moral education of teachers, indicating that the study of teacher ethics and style has important historical significance. Teachers of ideological and political courses in universities bear the heavy responsibility of cultivating young talents and play an important intermediary role in the country, society, and talent. Self-cultivation of teachers is the "Bible" of the way to be a teacher. Self-cultivation of ideological and political course teachers in universities includes requirements for political, emotional, thinking, vision, self-discipline, and personality. This is determined by the special characteristics of ideological and political course teachers themselves, ideological and political courses in universities, and the target audience (i.e. young students) of ideological and political courses in universities. To maintain and improve the self-cultivation of ideological and political course teachers in universities, it is necessary to exert self-discipline and heteronomy, as well as the coordinating role of the two. Cultivating high cultivation of ideological and political course teachers in universities is in line with the development of society and the times as a "socialist successor".
