The iterative upgrading of information technology has given rise to the metaverse as a new type of digital space, profoundly shaping the innovation and development of the ideological and political education narrative system. The metaverse and ideological and political education narratives share an inherent logical alignment. While the development of the metaverse presents new opportunities for the transformation and breakthrough of ideological and political education narratives, it also generates a range of practical dilemmas. Drawing on a four-dimensional analytical framework encompassing connotation definition and internal mechanisms, value presentation, practical examination, and response strategies, this paper clarifies relevant concepts and internal mechanisms, reveals the pluralistic values of the metaverse in empowering ideological and political education, examines the practical dilemmas and risks in integrated practice, and further explores systematic response strategies so as to advance the high-quality development and digital-intelligence transformation of ideological and political education.
