Beijing News, the first document of 2024 was released, once again focusing on the issue of changing customs in rural areas, advocating the provision of inclusive social services for farmers' weddings and funerals, and reducing the burden of human feelings in rural areas. The promulgation of this policy marks a new stage in the state's rectification of bad habits in rural areas.
Rural areas are important carriers of China's traditional culture, but some stereotypes and bad habits are still deeply rooted in some places, such as high bride prices, large-scale operations, and scattered burials. These bad habits not only brought economic burdens to the peasants, but also affected the social atmosphere in the rural areas to a certain extent. Therefore, promoting the change of customs in rural areas and reducing the burden of human affection have become important tasks in rural work at present.
This year's No. 1 document proposes to make use of comprehensive rural service places to provide inclusive social services for farmers' weddings and funerals. This means that the problem of rural weddings and funerals will be solved through the provision of public services. This measure can not only provide convenience for farmers, but also effectively reduce the burden of human feelings on farmers.
At the same time, the document also emphasizes the role of villagers' autonomy, requires giving full play to the incentive and restraint function of village rules and conventions, and continues to promote the comprehensive management of outstanding problems such as high bride price, large-scale operations, and scattered burials. This means that rural communities need to strengthen self-management, and guide farmers to consciously resist stereotypes and bad habits and form a good social atmosphere through the formulation and implementation of village rules and agreements.
In order to achieve this goal, a series of measures will be taken. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen positive guidance and incentives, popularize effective methods such as the list system and the point system, and stimulate the enthusiasm of farmers to participate in changing customs and customs. Secondly, strengthen the exemplary and leading role of party members and cadres, guide them to take the lead in fulfilling their promises, and set a good example. In addition, we should improve the binding norms and advocacy standards for new marriages, simple funerals, filial piety and love for relatives, etc., to provide clear action guidelines for farmers.
It is worth mentioning that since 2006, the first document has begun to focus on guiding farmers to "change customs and break bad habits". After more than ten years of efforts, it has achieved remarkable results in rectifying the problems of large-scale operations in rural weddings and funerals, as well as outdated and bad habits such as personal debts. This year's No. 1 document is the first time to encourage local governments to provide inclusive social services for farmers' weddings and funerals, which provides a new way and feasible plan to reduce the burden of human affection.
To sum up, it is a long-term and arduous task to promote the change of customs in rural areas and reduce the burden of human feelings. ** and all sectors of society need to work together to guide farmers to consciously resist stereotypes and bad habits and form a good social atmosphere through measures such as providing public services, strengthening self-management, and strengthening positive guidance and incentives. Only in this way can we truly realize a clean, harmonious and beautiful living environment in rural areas.
