Whether there will be a ban on banquets in rural areas
Rural banquets are a major part of traditional Chinese culture, which is not only a major way of social interaction, but also a kind of inheritance and reflection of traditional culture and etiquette.
In rural China, banquets are often an integral part of celebrations, banquets, or group dinners. Whether it is a wedding, a birthday, a holiday celebration or other important event, it is inseparable from a banquet to express joy and warm welcome.
When feasting in the countryside, there are generally some etiquettes to observed. For example, as a host, you should entertain your guests in your own name and express their warmth and gratitude with a toast. Guests also toasted to show respect and good wishes to the host. During the banquet, everyone talked about life and enhanced their feelings.
However, in recent years, China's rural banquet guests are on the verge of being "banned", and some scholars have proposed that "rural banquet guests" are unhygienic and unhygienic, which once caused heated discussions and worries.
In the vast land of China, the rural banquet is a unique landscape. This is a folk culture that integrates the folk culture of the countryside, folk customs and humanities, and is an indispensable and important part of the rural society. During the harvest season, weddings, funerals, and major festivals, the villagers will gather together to taste the unique flavor of their hometown and taste the strong friendship.
The variety of village banquet dishes is abundant, and the colors are beautiful. From the selection of ingredients to cooking, it is all the ingenuity of housewives. The vegetables, poultry, and mountain goods made by farmers are all characterized by freshness, health, and pollution-free, which makes people feel at ease to eat.
The arrangement of food is also very skillful, often according to the color, shape, and taste. There are steaming dishes such as braised pork, braised chicken and steamed fish, and there are some delicate side dishes such as cold cuts, stewed meat, and braised meat next to it. Plate after plate, the index finger of the person watching moved.
Wine is an essential part of a village feast. Compared with the "wine shop" culture in the city, the "wine shop" in the rural wine shop is more of an emotional communication and atmosphere creation. A group of people gathered around the table, pushing cups and changing lamps, chatting about family life and life, and the feeling of being free and drenching made people feel very comfortable.
Of course, this wine is not a high-end foreign wine, only some homemade rice wine and loose wine. During the banquet, everyone picked up their rice bowls, said "dry", and drank it all in one sip, the feeling of being happy and dripping was really unstoppable.
In the countryside, eating, drinking, and chatting are also a major feature. They gathered around the table, talking about everything from state affairs to gossip in the village.
Sometimes, as long as there is one question, everyone can empathize, laugh, and applaud, this scene is even more popular than the Spring Festival Gala.
The banquet in the countryside naturally has its own characteristics. For example, the elderly should use chopsticks first, children should not talk casually, and do not waste food. Don't look at this rule is very simple, but you can also see the respect that the country people respect people.
Rural food culture has strong humanistic colors and strong local characteristics. This is not just a meal, but a transmission of feelings, a transmission of culture. In the rapid development of life, it is not easy to have the opportunity to sit down and enjoy a sumptuous feast.
Although the country banquet is widely accepted by the public for its unique charm and rich content, just like a coin has both positive and negative aspects, it has its own flaws. However, its shortcomings are like "little monsters", if not dealt with in time, it will cause great impact and distress to the students.
1.Extravagance and waste: "The Big Stomach" faces a severe test at the dinner table.
Step into a rustic feast with a dizzying array of delicious food on the table. But have you ever noticed that those delicacies are often spoiled in vain, rather than savored? As hosts, they often serve their guests more than they need to show their generosity and hospitality. In the end, the meal was finished, and there were still a lot of unopened dishes and wine on the table.
Such extravagance and waste not only wastes food, but also wastes a lot of materials, and at the same time stimulates people's vice of spending extravagantly and not cherishing food. Think about it, these spoiled grains could have nourished more people's bodies and minds, but they were ruthlessly abandoned in order to satisfy their own vanity. This reminds us of an old proverb: "Every grain of rice is hard, and who knew it was Chinese food?".”
2.Excessive drinking hurts the body: from "drunk life and dream death" to "drunk life and dream death".
The wine on the table is a thing that has both sides and sides. On the one hand, it can shorten the distance between each other, so that everyone can talk freely and enhance their feelings in the staggered planning;On the contrary, excessive alcohol may also cause people to lose their rationality, causing a series of physical and social problems.
At the village banquet, because of the warm atmosphere and hot wine, many people often enter the state of "no wine and no joy". However, excessive alcohol not only harms one's body, but also causes one to lose one's mind and do things that one regrets.
In some areas, traffic violations and crimes such as drunk driving have even occurred, causing great harm to the people's personal and property. Therefore, when we enjoy the banquet, we must keep in mind: "If you are not careful with drinking, everything is worried", and you should drink moderately and civilly.
3.Neglect of health and safety: From "appetite" to "danger on the tip of the tongue", in addition to extravagance and waste, overdrinking, village banquets also face health and safety problems. However, due to environmental restrictions, poor supervision and other factors, the health of some banquets is worrying.
Due to the unclear raw materials and non-standard processing technology, it poses a hidden danger to the health of the participants.
Just imagine when you're enjoying a food that looks delicious, and you don't realize the health problems that exist in it. This not only makes people lose interest in tasting delicious, but also causes great harm to the human body.
Faced with the many shortcomings of the village feasting culture, some may be urging the end of this practice. However, I don't think it's wise to ban the culture of village feasts, which is like banning children from playing, but it's too extreme.
First of all, rural banquets are an important part of traditional Chinese culture, with a long historical origin and a broad public base. It is not only a food culture, but also a social culture, a culture of emotional exchange.
In this feast, everyone can put aside their identity, sit with their family and friends, and talk about life and share their joys and sorrows while tasting delicious food. Its inheritance and development are of great significance for the cohesion of the local society and the promotion of the harmony of interpersonal relations.
Secondly, the positive role of village banqueters cannot be denied. In the countryside, a banquet is usually an important occasion such as harvest, reunion, festival and other essential things.
It's both a delicious meal and an emotional journey. At the banquet, everyone can enjoy delicious food together, communicate with each other, and deepen the relationship. Such an exchange of feelings is conducive to strengthening the cohesion and unity of rural communities and promoting the inheritance and development of rural culture.
However, we cannot ignore some problems in the current rural banquet culture in China. Extravagance, excessive drinking, hygiene and safety issues deserve our attention. However, the root of the problem is not the village banquet itself, but the problems that arise in the folk banquet activities.
It is necessary to start from intensifying publicity and education, raising the awareness of conservation among the whole people, advocating healthy drinking, and strengthening health and safety supervision and management, rather than simply "prohibiting".
First, it is necessary to intensify propaganda on the ideological and political work of college students. A variety of ways and methods should be used to educate rural residents on food conservation, moderate drinking, and attention to hygiene and safety, so as to enhance their own cultural literacy and protection capabilities.
the second is to advocate the concept of healthy drinking; Through the education of drinking behavior, people can be able to drink in moderation and civility, so as to reduce the health and social problems caused by excessive drinking. On this basis, we should develop low-alcohol liquor and health liquor to meet the needs of the vast number of peasant households.
Third, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of food health and safety. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision and inspection of the location, raw materials, processing technology and other links of the village banquet to ensure the health and safety of the banquet. On this basis, we should also vigorously develop the special catering service industry in places where there is a foundation, and improve the grade and grade of the catering industry.
Rural banquet is a beautiful scenery and a beautiful scenery in China's rural society. This is not only a gluttonous feast, but also allows people to appreciate the original ecological raw materials and unique taste from the countryside; It is also an exchange of feelings, so that the villagers can share the joy and enhance friendship during the Spring Festival.
However, due to historical changes and social progress, there are also many problems in rural banquets, such as extravagance and waste, excessive drinking, and health and safety hazards.
We cannot completely deny or even stop this phenomenon, but we must treat it with a more rational and tolerant mentality.
Only by strengthening propaganda and education, raising the awareness of the whole people to save money, advocating healthy drinking, and strengthening health and safety supervision can we promote the healthy development of China's rural banquet culture and make it better play a role in the prosperity of rural society and the inheritance of culture.
It is hoped that a more civilized, healthy and harmonious rural banquet culture can regain new vitality and vitality in the wave of rural revitalization, and make it a link between urban and rural, traditional and modern.
