Against the background of intensifying globalization and the persistent "Chinese fever," International Chinese Education (ICE) is transitioning from instrumental language teaching towards integrated language-culture transmission. Based on cultural communication theory and the latest ICE practices, this paper delineates the core essence of ICE from a cultural perspective. It elucidates its contemporary significance through three dimensions: transmission feasibility, demand responsiveness, and cultural confidence building. Integrating the Cultural Triangle theory, cross-cultural comparison principles, and the latest empirical research findings, the paper proposes a three-dimensional instructional strategy system encompassing "Coordination-Innovation-Format," which is validated through concrete teaching cases and regional practice data. The study demonstrates that only by constructing a hierarchical cultural teaching framework that interconnects the material, behavioral, and conceptual layers can the organic unity of language competency cultivation and cultural transmission be achieved. This research not only addresses the current problem of superficial cultural teaching in ICE but also provides theoretical support and practical reference for the high-quality and regionalized development of ICE.
