The cultural education for graduate students meet the needs of cultivating graduate students' critical cross-cultural thinking, and the teaching should focus on digitalization and localization elements to keep pace with the times. This paper follows the CREED principle of intercultural communication teaching, takes students as the center and uses problem-based approach as the theoretical basis, proposes an combination of cultural education with students' English learning, so as to carry forward traditional Chinese culture in graduate English teaching under the multicultural background. The teaching evaluation data show that this model can achieve the teaching goal of effectively improving students' intercultural communication ability, and also meet the teaching requirements of cultivating students' comprehensive qualities such as political literacy, humanistic literacy and academic literacy in higher education.
