Centering on value-oriented guidance, interdisciplinary integration and integration of general and specialized education, the construction of New Liberal Arts provides value compliance and practical orientation for the reform of university general education in the new era. As a vital carrier for implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education and cultivating compound innovative talents, general education in some local universities is still confronted with practical dilemmas including fragmented system construction, disjointed curriculum contents and oversimplified education chains, which restrict the full release of educational effectiveness of general education. Based on the actual conditions of local universities and taking "interdisciplinary integration and systematic reconstruction" as the core philosophy, this study constructs a general education curriculum framework with four intersecting layers (core general education, disciplinary expansion, interdisciplinary integration and practical innovation) supported by three dimensions (interdisciplinary integration, technology empowerment and regional characteristics). It promotes the collaborative reform of five key elements: talent cultivation programs, teaching materials, resource platforms, teaching staff and teaching modes, implements the teaching paradigm of "dual-line blended learning plus project-driven learning", and establishes a phased curriculum setup and full-process closed-loop evaluation mechanism. This reform path can address the practical pain points of traditional general education, realize all-round, in-depth and sustainable development of general education, and offer replicable practical models and experience reference for similar local domestic universities to construct general education curriculum systems under the background of New Liberal Arts.
