History is a traditional basic discipline with strong humanistic attributes, and the applied teaching of its curriculum has a large space for expansion. Under the new liberal arts concept, it is necessary to fully tap the internal curriculum resources of the major, mobilize external teaching methods, and integrate interdisciplinary methods to deepen the applied teaching reform. The applied teaching design of the curriculum should be reflected in many aspects: the design of teaching concept should show cultural confidence; the design of teaching methods should draw on others' advantages; the design of teaching content should highlight the social needs; and the design of teaching objectives should foster family and motherland feelings. In particular, attention should be paid to the excavation of ideological and political elements of teaching content, the integration of multiple disciplines and the multilevel application of teaching forms.
