Recently, there was a news that caused heated discussions on the Internet, saying that in Xichang City, Liangshan, Sichuan, grid workers repeatedly entered residents' homes to correct the Xi of squatting and eating. It is reported that this measure is to change the stereotypical Xi of the locals, because squatting on the ground to eat is uncivilized and unhygienic. In response to this move, netizens have expressed different opinions. Some people think that this Xi does not affect others and that there is no need to correct it;Others said that they should not make comments until they understand the situation on the ground. However, the staff of the Spiritual Civilization Office responded to this, saying that this is to improve the sanitary environment, because in the past, villagers in the mountainous areas put their rice bowls on the ground to affect hygiene. In addition, it is reported that Liangshan Prefecture issued the "Notice on Deepening the Change of Customs and Customs" in July 2022, and the Yuexi County Party Committee also stressed the need to "completely change" bad Xi such as sitting on the ground and squatting for dinner. Rice is the lifeblood of people, and food culture is an important embodiment of the cultural inheritance and customs Xi habits of a region.
However, although some Xi are commonplace locally, in today's globalized world, cultural differences between different regions inevitably lead to conflicts in communication. For this incident, we can't help but ask: how should we choose between civilization and Xi?In our eyes, squatting and eating may be a quaint folk custom, but in the eyes of the locals, it may be a cultural Xi that has been passed down for thousands of years. However, with the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, should we re-examine these Xi and make necessary adjustments and changes from the perspective of hygiene and health?The practice of the local ** and the relevant departments is based on the consideration of the sanitary environment, and the purpose is to improve the living environment of the residents, not simply to restrict the freedom of the people. According to health experts, squatting to eat can lead to health problems such as bacterial infections and diarrhea, so it does make sense to restrict this Xi from a hygiene standpoint. At the same time, it is also a balance between traditional culture and contemporary civilization, and a compromise between cultural inheritance and social progress.
In addition, it is important to emphasize that we need to respect and understand local cultural traditions when dealing with different cultural Xi, rather than simply denying others with our own ideas. Therefore, for changing traditional cultural Xi, it is necessary to carry out scientific guidance and appropriate regulation on the basis of respecting and protecting traditional culture. In the process of social development, the balance between civilization and Xi is an inevitable issue. On the premise of respecting traditional culture, we need to make necessary adjustments and changes to meet the development needs of contemporary society. It is believed that through the communication and efforts of many parties, we will be able to find a balance that meets the local cultural traditions and the health standards of modern society. The introduction of the rural "three reforms and one demolition" policy is undoubtedly to improve the rural environment and the living conditions of villagers, but in the process of implementation, it is necessary to pay attention to and think about whether some details and specific operation methods will infringe on the privacy of villagers, and whether they are suspected of illegal law enforcement.
As a means, fines can certainly play a certain deterrent role, but whether the fine standard is reasonable and whether it will increase the economic burden of villagers is also a matter that needs to be carefully considered. How should we improve and deal with these problems reasonably and legally?
