Abstract: According to interviews with villagers in the old revolutionary areas in Dabie Mountains, red cultural heritage still has difficulty in helping targeted poverty alleviation. It is necessary to transform red cultural heritage into economic benefits by improving rural education system. Practice should be adopted to help understand and inherit red cultural heritage, so as to make the red cultural heritage glow with new brilliance and vitality and permeate into the values of every village. Therefore, the red cultural heritage will finally serve as an endogenous motive force to motivate villagers to strive hard to get rid of poverty and become rich.
