"Oops, my good boy,Don't touch the people of that village!Otherwise, our whole family will be out of luck!”
As soon as she thought of Gaomei Village, the grandmother of Chaqiao Village couldn't help but warn her grandson loudly.
That's right, in the hearts of their generation,Intermarrying with Gaomei Village is simply a taboo in life.
All this stems from a misunderstanding more than 200 years ago.
At that time, there was a fierce conflict between the two villages over water resourcesA daughter-in-law from Gaomei Village was talking for her hometown and was bumped into by Chaqiao people.
Since then, the two villages have been incompatible, holding high the banner of "no intermarriage", and vowing not to stand together.
Time passed like this, passing by word of mouth for generationsThis misunderstanding has long been exaggerated layer by layer and turned into an earth-shattering bloody case.
In the description of the Chaqiao people, the people of Gaomei Village are simply very violent, and they even kill people in order to compete for a pool of water
The ancestors of Chaqiao Village could only resist bravely, and both sides were almost killed and wounded.
The vow of "no intermarriage" is the way for Chaqiao people to remember the sacrifice of their ancestors and prevent the recurrence of the tragedy.
Once disobeyed, the consequences are unimaginable - the souls of our ancestors will be cursed, and you and I will be doomed.
In order to give future generations a peaceful village, the ancestors did not hesitate to exchange their livesHow can we live up to their hard work?
So,The taboo of "no intermarriage" is firmly rooted in the hearts of the older generation of Chaqiao villagersAnd passed down from generation to generation.
From time to time, there are incidents of "hooking up with three and four" in the village, and the ending is extremely tragic without exception.
For example, Li Datou's family, his son married a woman from Gaomei Village.
Within a few years, the son fell ill and his father died mysteriouslyIt can be seen how quickly the punishment of the ancestors was.
The story of Li Datou's family spread in Chaqiao VillagePeople sighed one after another, "This is the end of violating the ancestral teachings!""I am even more respectful of Gaomei Village.
In this way, the taboo of more than 200 years has been deified and absolutized, which has seriously restricted the thinking of the villagers.
In fact, if you think about it a little, you will find that this is pure nonsense.
The so-called "curse" is nothing more than the superstitious psychology of the villagers.
We should look at the rationality of this taboo rationally, not stick to it.
The ban on non-intermarriage has seriously hindered the villagers' freedom of intermarriage and affected the exchange and cooperation between the two villages.
If we look to the future, break down this barrier, and let the open spring breeze blow into Chaqiao Village, the villagers will surely reap more opportunities for development.
On October 1, 2023, Chaqiao Village and Gaomei Village, which had been opposed for more than 200 years, finally held an unprecedented ceremony of good-neighborliness and friendship.
It was officially announced that the taboo of non-intermarriage for a hundred years was liftedSince then, the two villages have become brother villages, a family.
The key to the success of this reconciliation ceremony lies in the fact that the two villages have shared a sense that economic interests are far more important than traditional estrangements.
Chaqiao Village is dominated by the plastic industry, and Gaomei Village is dominated by the footwear industry, and the industries of the two villages complement each other.
Once the barriers are removed, the space for cooperation will be greatly increased, and the villagers' pockets will be bulging.
Today is the happiest day of my life!At the ceremony, Aunt Yang said excitedly.
Her son fell in love with a girl from Gaomei Village, and wanted to make a private agreement for life, but was ordered to break up by his parents.
Now that the rope is untied and the two lovers are finally married, Aunt Yang looked at the happy smile on her son's face and burst into tears.
Similar stories abound at the ceremony.
For a moment, the walls of hatred collapsed and were replaced by the eyes of the villagers who hoped for economic growth.
They realizedThe more open we are, the more we must break the superstitious thinking of being closed and backward.
Only by holding the hands of other villages can we create a beautiful blueprint.
Secretary Yang, the village official, also expressed his stance at the ceremony, promising that he would fully support the cooperation projects between the two villages, from supporting industries to building roads and bridges.
He also revealed that the next step is that the two villages may cooperate to establish an industrial parkAchieve industrial upgrading and drive more employment.
The scene was unimaginably hot.
Just a few months ago, Chaqiao Village and Gaomei Village were incompatible, but now they are like-minded and like a family.
The villagers have sighed that the great tide of the times has made everything possible, and tomorrow will be better!
Of course, the ceremony is just the beginningWhether the two villages can continue economic cooperation and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results remains to be tested by time.
We need to be rational and strive to find a sustainable path.
The reconciliation between Chaqiao Village and Gaomei Village has shown that it has played a driving role in breaking down unreasonable traditions.
In the past, due to the constraints of superstition and conservative thinking,Neither the villagers nor the grassroots cadres dared to touch the taboo.
Once someone proposes to intermarry or cooperate, they will immediately be ridiculed and even attacked by a group, and they will easily invite trouble.
In such an environment, it is difficult for pioneers who dare to think and do things to rise, and reform cannot be promoted.
After the situation changed drastically, the two villages of Chaqiao and Gaomei finally dared to face each other and sat down to discuss how to develop the economy, rather than life and death.
This is mainly due to the guidance and supervision of the higher-level inspection team.
As soon as the voice of supervision came out, the grassroots cadres realized that they had to conform to the timesSo he actively cooperated, communicated and coordinated with multiple parties, and gradually resolved the century-old resentment.
If there is no ** promotion, it may be difficult for the villagers to reach a consensus alone, and they may even quarrel again.
This fully shows that in the face of stereotypes and bad habits, we must take decisive action to resolve the plight of the masses.
Of course, there is room for improvementFor example, the process is still too coercive and administratively oriented.
We know that people's hearts and minds are not something that happens overnight.
More guiding means should be used, step by stepRather than engaging in command-style reforms.
In addition,Breaking down traditional taboos also requires a fundamental change in the minds of the masses.
Propaganda and ideological work is particularly important, and it is necessary to let grassroots cadres establish the concept of scientific development and villagers to establish the concept of openness and inclusiveness, which requires persistent guidance.
It is conceivable that if the two villages can take the initiative to resolve their differences, ** will only play a coordinating and supporting role, and the results may be more durable.
Therefore, it is also necessary to explore new models and play the role of guidance and serviceLet the grassroots masses truly become the masters of reform.
Looking forward to the future, the interaction between tradition and modernity continues, and we look forward to adapting to the times, continuing to break unreasonable taboos, and making the fruits of reform available to all.
At the same time,It is also necessary to pay attention to exploring the value components in the local traditional culture and promoting the harmonious coexistence of tradition and modernity.
Only by integrating China's excellent traditions and advanced civilization can we promote real social progress.
The seemingly distant Chaqiao Village and Gaomei Village are actually hidden around you and me.
In this era of change, many of the problems that have plagued us for a long time,Perhaps it can be solved with an open and tolerant mind.
In the past, the various agreements and taboos established by our ancestors in a difficult environment were originally intended to unite and help each other and govern order.
However, with the passage of time, some rules will inevitably become "footcloths" due to the loss of rationality- It shackles the minds of the villagers, hinders cooperation, and even leads to hatred.
When taboos come to the end of our lives, we should not be stubborn, but should conform to history and support its breaking.
This needs to be promoted by the people, and it needs to be awakened by the people.
When the villagers realize that cooperation and mutual benefit are far greater than infighting, the taboo will melt in goodwill.
It takes time for people's hearts to change, but as long as the original intention is not changed, the road will eventually become wider and wider.
The villagers laughed at the former "enemies" and worked together to build a blueprint, which is actually playing out in every heart that gets rid of prejudices and pursues progress.
When we are finally able to listen to different voices and understand different pasts, it means that we have entered a new eraAn era in which everyone has the opportunity to realize their self-worth.
This is a time of hope and possibility.
Let us put aside the burden of history and stop dividing you and me by prejudices. Cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and fighting is harmful, this simple truth does not need to be entangled.
On the new journey, you and I will always be side by side.
