Cracking the sky-high price gift must activate good governance in the countryside

  To promote rural revitalization in an all-round way, we should not only look at the number of tickets in the peasants' pockets, but also look at the mental outlook of the peasants, whether the local customs are good, and whether the governance is effective.

To solve the worries of the peasant masses, we must mainly rely on the peasants themselves. For rural governance to achieve the effect of spring weather and rain, it is necessary to tap the moral force of acquaintances to promote good society and enhance the soft power of rural development.

  According to reports, in some rural areas, the new “three major items” necessary to get a wife, such as cars, houses, and gifts, cost as little as five to six million yuan to as many as one million yuan, which has become a heavy burden for some rural families.

The country must have a human touch, but it must not be burdened with human debt.

In order to achieve the effect of spring breeze and rain in rural governance, it is necessary to tap the moral power of acquaintances to promote good in society and enhance the soft power of rural development.

  In recent years, with the gradual improvement of living standards, many areas in rural areas have seen marriages and funerals ostentatious, and human relations are more generous. In some places, unhealthy customs such as high-priced gifts and comparison of humanity gifts have prevailed.

This may not be felt deeply in the city, but it is a great annoyance for farmers.

Many farmers report that the exchanges of friendship have become a debt of love, and traditional customs have gradually faded. The sky-high price of gifts makes people "cannot afford to marry", and the various gifts are "not repayable."

  Let's talk about marriage first. In the past, marriage in rural areas only needed to build a house on the homestead, and the cost was only 200,000 yuan.

In recent years, buying a house in county towns has become a "standard" trend, and the price has at least doubled.

Let's talk about the bride price, the price has increased from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan.

In some areas, there are 152,800 yuan and 131,400 yuan, all with homophonic meaning.

There is also gift money, and emotional interaction becomes the main thing to give money.

From college banquets, birthday banquets, to "consolation wine" and "baby-saving wine", you just sing and I will appear on stage.

Not only is there a lot of tricks, but the standard is also high, and one or two hundred yuan is no longer available.

Most of these gifts are spent on banquets and church meetings, and every family is ultimately the loser of the relationship.

  The No. 1 document of the Central Committee for 2021 just released emphasizes the need to strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization in rural areas in the new era.

In fact, to promote rural revitalization in an all-round way, we should not only look at the number of tickets in the peasants' pockets, but also look at the mental outlook of the peasants, whether the local customs are good, and whether the governance is effective.

Needless to say, in the construction of rural civilization, the supply of institutional rules in the past was insufficient, and some practices had problems such as low efficiency and frequent failures.

Although great progress has been made in all aspects of rural society, there are still a lot of problems, such as “can't afford to marry” high-priced betrothal gifts, “cannot afford to die” for luxurious funerals, and “cannot afford to pay” the various kinds of favors and gifts.

  There is nothing wrong with the normal exchanges of courtesy. After all, everyone will encounter birthdays and celebrations, and every family has a relationship with each other. However, in the name of "famous relationship", it is not to be a big deal, blind comparison and extravagance.

The country must have a human touch, but it must not be burdened with human debt.

In the face of the old rules and bad habits in rural areas, we must clearly oppose and make drastic reforms.

Constraint comparisons show off their wealth, extravagance and wasteful behaviors, which can not be solved by issuing a few documents or holding a few meetings.

Civilized rural customs requires perfect institutional guarantees, and methods and methods that conform to the characteristics of the rural areas, and practical measures must be used to solve the problems.

  Unlike cities, rural society is a society of acquaintances, and most people are "born and grown in Sri Lanka."

Although the social structure, population composition, and village form of the village have undergone great changes, the basic characteristics have not fundamentally changed.

To solve the troubles of the peasant masses, we have to rely mainly on the peasants themselves.

In order to achieve the effect of spring breeze and rain in rural governance, it is necessary to tap the moral power of the acquaintance's society to promote goodness and enhance the soft power of rural development.

In some places, farmers formulate village rules and folk agreements based on consultations. In some places, red-and-white councils and moral councils have been established to promote the customs of mutual assistance and friendship in red-and-white affairs. At the same time, the acceptable standard of gift money has been lowered. The cost of social governance.

  Guangwo countryside, bright context.

The reason why rural issues are complicated is that they are multi-dimensional. Rural industry, rural customs, life, and ecology are intertwined into an organic whole, blending the feelings and rationality of traditional rural areas, and the laws and regulations of modern society.

At present, my country’s rural areas are undergoing a transition from a traditional society to a modern society. Urban-rural relations are undergoing profound adjustments, rural society is splitting up rapidly, and governance objects continue to change. Rural revitalization is indispensable to the modernization of the governance system, and the road to good governance must be taken.

On the one hand, we must vigorously develop rural industries, increase farmers’ income, narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, and absorb the essence of urban civilization; on the other hand, we must also shape the new era of rural spirit and rural customs, and use the power of values ​​to empower farmers and the countryside. Set rules.
