The Spring Festival is approaching, and in the past few days before the arrival of the Spring Festival holiday, farmers and friends are preparing for the New Year, and there is also a major event that is particularly worth paying attention to, which is the first document in 2024. Document No. 1 every year is closely related to every rural person and will effectively involve the vital interests of all peasants.
This year's No. 1 document has put forward clear requirements in many aspects such as cultivated land protection, food security, farmers' livelihood, and rural revitalization. The author has noticed that Document No. 1 also focuses on changing customs in rural areas, and it is necessary to focus on rectifying the following three problems.
In recent years, a major problem faced by rural people when they get married is the sky-high bride price. Historically, the bride price paid by the man's family to the woman's family has a long history, but the bride price in ancient times was more of a symbol, representing the marriage and family of both men and women. But today, the bride price has departed from the original intention of the past and has become a threshold for marriage.
How high is the bride price for a wife in rural areas now? In Henan, the general bride price is more than 100,000 yuan, and in Jiangxi and other places, the bride price is 300,000 yuan. You must know that when a rural boy marries a wife, in addition to the bride price, he also has to prepare a house and a car, which together is hundreds of thousands or even millions.
* The bride price has distorted the original meaning of the bride price, making it more difficult for rural people to get married, and it is imperative to rectify the sky-high bride price. In recent years, various measures have been adopted on a pilot basis in many places, including the mandatory restriction of the bride price standard, such as no more than 30,000 yuan, etc., and this new regulation has been unanimously welcomed by rural people.
The large-scale operation in the countryside refers to all kinds of red and white ceremonies, and there are often problems such as extravagance and waste, comparison and showing off wealth. Take the banquet as an example, in rural areas such as Guizhou and other places, there are often people who set up various banquets in the name of a sow, such as setting up a banquet when a sow gives birth, building a building and building a floor a year and then inviting a banquet, holding a 100-year-old banquet after the death of the elderly in the family for 30 years, and setting up a banquet for the first time for a child's haircut.
These banquets are not only a big operation, but also increase the burden on the participants, because they have to be courteous when eating and drinking. Big-scale operations like this should be canceled.
Scattered burials in rural areas mainly refer to the fact that after the death of the elderly, they are not buried in the cemetery, but are privately buried in their own farmland, mountain forests, and wasteland. At present, some rural areas have built cemeteries, some have not, and the current requirement is to bury the deceased family members in the cemetery, so as to save arable land and reduce the impact on mechanized farming.
However, there are still many people who bury the deceased old people in their own farmland, which not only occupies cultivated land, but also is not conducive to land circulation and the development of agricultural mechanization. In the future, scattered burials and mass burials will be rectified in rural areas.
Changing customs in rural areas is not only a major event, but also a long-term and imperceptible process. For farmers, changing customs is not unacceptable, such as the rectification of the bride price, the rectification of large-scale operations, can effectively reduce the burden of rural people's feelings, help ease the economic pressure of farmers, and promote farmers' income for actual production and living consumption.
In the past, if other people in rural areas did things in a big way, and they did everything simply, they would face a lot of pressure and would be talked about behind their backs. However, after the change of customs and customs is completed, we will be able to eliminate this unhealthy trend, reverse the social atmosphere, and help shape a healthy and civilized new social trend.
