Adhere to the combination of dredging and blockage, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, innovate the carrier of changing customs and customs, give play to the role of villagers' autonomy, strengthen the incentive and restraint functions of village rules and conventions, and continue to promote the comprehensive management of outstanding problems such as high dowries, large-scale operations, and scattered burials.
