Abstract: Marx's Need Theory tells us that human needs are not only material and social, but also spiritual needs. The spiritual needs are the highest level of human needs. Ideological and political education as a special spiritual production and spiritual communication practice can not only lead and meet people's spiritual needs, but also guide people's material needs and social needs scientifically. In order to make ideological and political education correctly lead and meet people's needs, we must continue to promote life, which has its logical, historical and realistic basis. Therefore, ideological and political education needs to actively explore the way of life, and adhere to the unity of daily life and non-daily life, the unity of adaptability and transcendence of life value, and the unity of scientific spirit and humanistic concern.
