The high price of the betrothal and the big deal cause waste and compare bad atmosphere
Party style and folk customs promote marriage customs reform
“The organizer not only provided traditional costumes and makeup, but also formulated a detailed wedding plan.” The “Twelve East Gate” in Chengzhong District, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is the local “net celebrity check-in point”. The East Gate Group Wedding.
Liao Yu, one of the grooms who participated in the collective wedding and the deputy director of the District Party Committee’s Propaganda Department, said that this is an extraordinary ceremony that is both classical and romantic, and saves money and worry.
The Chengzhong District of Liuzhou City is one of the second batch of experimental areas for the reform of marriage customs in the country.
A few days ago, the Ministry of Civil Affairs officially issued a reply on agreeing to confirm the Feixiang District of Handan City, Hebei Province and other units as the second batch of national marriage customs reform experimental areas, to further expand the coverage of marriage customs reform pilots, and eliminate outdated customs such as high-priced gifts.
In April of this year, the Ministry of Civil Affairs identified the first batch of 15 experimental areas for the reform of marriage customs in the country. Through innovating cultural carriers of marriage and childbirth, strengthening the education and guidance of young people's views on marriage and family views, and rectifying bad social customs such as bad marriages and high-priced gifts.
Up to now, there are 32 experimental areas for marriage customs reform across the country.
The "three big pieces of marriage" is a microcosm of traditional marriage customs.
From "watches, bicycles, sewing machines" to "refrigerators, color TVs, washing machines", to today's "houses, cars, tickets", on the one hand it reflects the substantial improvement in people’s living standards, on the other hand it also reflects the shoulders of young married people. The burden is getting heavier and heavier.
In some places, the marriage custom is summarized as "not moving" and "infinite red"-"moving" refers to a car, "not moving" refers to a house, and "infinitely red" means 10,000 5 yuan banknotes plus 1,000 hundred yuan bills.
The sky-high price of gifts and large-scale operations have brought heavy burdens to many families, and the resulting waste and comparison problems have adversely affected the social atmosphere, and a small number of party members and cadres took the opportunity to receive gifts and money in violation of regulations.
The reporter combed through recent cases reported from various places and found that there are two main types of illegal wedding banquets.
One is "one set in person, one set behind the back". The number of reports is too small, which seriously exceeds the number of tables reported to the organization. For example, Lu Jianrong, deputy director of the Beijie Community Neighborhood Committee of Yao'an County, Yunnan Province, hosted a wedding banquet for his daughter, which exceeded the number of tables reported to the organization. 23 tables, received warnings from the party.
The other is to divide the whole into parts and banquet management service objects in batches. For example, Wu Qunfeng, director of the Xinhua District Environmental Sanitation Bureau, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, organizes wedding banquets for his son in three batches, banquets for members of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau team, colleagues from the original unit, and district subordinates. There were 85 people in other units, and they received a gift of 32,900 yuan, and received serious warnings from the party.
To correct the "four winds", it is even more necessary to establish a new wind.
Grassroots party members and cadres are the key to promoting marriage and transfer of customs and customs.
How to get them to actively participate and integrate, and use the party style to drive the people's style is the key to the success or failure of the reform of marriage customs, and it is also an important way to innovate social governance and promote a new trend and righteousness.
"In the past, wedding banquets were often put on 40 or 50 tables, and they were more luxurious and extravagant. This not only increased the burden on the family, but also broke the social atmosphere. As a party member and cadre, your daughter-in-law is also a teacher of the people. You hope to take the lead in advocating new wedding customs and marriage affairs. Keep things simple and set a good example.” A few days ago, Zang Zhiqin, secretary of the Party General Branch of Shuangxin Village, Development Zone, Dongtai City, Jiangsu Province, took the initiative to report to the District Commission for Discipline Work before his son’s wedding was organized.
As reminded and advocated by the brokerage committee, he invited comrades from the village marriage custom advocacy association to visit his relatives, and the two sides reached a consensus of zero beauties and simple weddings.
He Guodong, member of the Standing Committee of the Dongtai Municipal Party Committee, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Acting Supervisory Commission, introduced to reporters that public officials’ pre-marital talks, reporting and filing of marriage matters, and the investigation and handling of irregular marriage matters are the three systems of marriage customs reform issued by the Dongtai Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. "In order to encourage party members, cadres and public officials to play an exemplary role in changing customs.
"We started with clean culture and education, organized party member propaganda groups and community volunteers, went to the village to join the community to promote the simple and civilized new wedding customs."
While guiding party members and cadres to set an example, traditional culture and national treasures are also an important starting point for the discipline inspection and supervision organs to advocate a clean marriage customs and a diligent and thrifty family style.
As a world cultural heritage, the Dazu Rock Carvings in Chongqing contain rich cultural elements of filial piety.
For example, the "Cat Catching the Mouse", "The Cattle-grazing", "The Locking Six Consuming", "The Fishing Man", etc., reveal that once power is transformed into the grabbing of money and material, it will undermine social ethics and morality.
Dazu District Commission for Discipline Inspection makes full use of this resource advantage, urges the civil affairs department to integrate local characteristic cultural resources into marriage and family cultural education, and guides the cadres and the masses not to be greedy or extravagant, and to be strict in self-discipline; at the same time, they actively explore outstanding family traditions and family education stories and use traditional culture. Carry forward the new civilized fashion.
"It is not a day's work to change customs and customs. We will strengthen the supervision and guarantee of the reform of marriage customs, insist on correcting the "four styles" and establishing new customs simultaneously, so that the breeze of marriage customs can blow to more families." The relevant person in charge of the Dazu District Commission for Discipline Inspection said.
