First, the current situation of "Four Seasons in the South of the Yangtze River" in Tonglu County
Toyokawa town The "Jiangnan season" starts from the first day of the eighth lunar month every year, starting from Shifu, Shihe, Shilian, Shifeng, Shiwu and other villages in Jiangnan Town, and lasts until the end of 1 1, and the season ends in Hengshan and Yao Jia villages in Jiangnan Town, which lasts for more than four months. According to incomplete statistics, during this period, there were 64 festivals in Jiangnan Town and Fengchuan Town, with an average of less than one season for three days. "Jiangnan season" covers most of the second half of the year, year after year. How to spend this season has become one of the most concerned topics for many people in Jiangnan film, and how to spend this season well has also become one of the most concerned topics for cadres in Jiangnan town and Fengchuan town in the second half of the year.
Second, the evaluation of "Jiangnan Season"
As a traditional custom with a history of thousands of years, it is undeniable that "Jiangnan season" had its rationality and necessity at that time, especially in the era of slow economic development, extremely low people's living standards, serious lack of informatization and serious backwardness of traffic conditions. It is customary to take a day as a day for friends and relatives to get together to celebrate, and take the opportunity to handle the happy events at home together, which saves a lot of troubles such as contacting in advance and surprise preparation, and has the advantages of strengthening ties, enhancing feelings and doing more at one session. Some business owners take the season as a platform and take the opportunity to invite some customers for extensive contacts and economic and trade negotiations, which is also conducive to business development.
After analysis, it has the following characteristics:
1. Serious extravagance and waste
At present, the biggest feature of Four Seasons in Jiangnan is eating, drinking and drinking. Whenever the season comes, hospitable locals always hold a big banquet to entertain guests and friends. The more guests there are, the more glorious they are, so that the wind of comparison is getting stronger.
(1) The longer the season goes by. The survey shows that only 40 people spend 1 day, accounting for11.5%; Only 79 people, accounting for 22.7%, spent two days; Three days 152 people, accounting for 43.7%; There are 77 people with more than 3 days, accounting for 22. 1%. More than half of them can be seen in more than three days, and some have to eat for more than a week.
(2) The grade of the season is getting higher and higher. Limited by economic conditions, the original season was dominated by farm dishes, and most of the guests were relatives. With the improvement of economic conditions, the grade of the season has steadily increased. From a few tables to dozens of tables, the number of people invited is also expanding. In the past few years, beef, chicken and roast duck were still used to deal with it. In recent years, high-grade aquatic products such as soft-shelled turtle, eel, shrimp and crab have become very common in season. Some of them also used alcohol and tobacco for hospitality, and some even went to Fuyang and Hangzhou to buy food, which made the price of Tonglu comprehensive market rise in season somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River.
(3) Seasonal expenses are increasing. According to the survey, basically every farmer spends about 10% of the annual household income, and some of them are as high as 20-30%. The survey shows that 82 people spend less than 654.38+10,000 yuan, accounting for 23.6%; There are 1000-3000 yuan, accounting for 30.5%; There are 124 people who spend 3000-5000 yuan, accounting for 35%; There are 34 people who spend more than 5000 yuan, accounting for 9.7%. According to the relevant personnel of Shen 'ao Village Committee, spending only one season in Shen 'ao Village will cost more than 6,543,800 yuan. If calculated according to the cost per household 1.500 yuan, the people in Jiangnan Town and Fengchuan Town spend more than 30 million yuan each year on seasons alone. For the people in the south of the Yangtze River, the season has become a heavy burden, and it is even more miserable for some people with difficult economic conditions. "In the first half of the year, I went out to work hard to earn money, but in the second half of the year, I had no choice but to go home and spend money on holidays." . The survey shows that there are 220 people who think that seasonal waste is serious, up to 62. 1%.
2. Seriously affect social order.
(1) gambling is highly concentrated. Gambling is not an inherent attribute of Four Seasons in Jiangnan, but it has become one of the main characteristics derived from Four Seasons in Jiangnan. The most popular of Four Seasons in the South of the Yangtze River are several gamblers. They take advantage of the weak public security force and think that the law does not blame the public. They even think that the population is relatively concentrated in the peak season, and the government is worried that the masses will make trouble collectively and will not gamble. The survey shows that 199 people think gambling is serious, accounting for 56.2%.
(2) It is difficult to prevent public security. "Jiangnan season" has the characteristics of concentrated time, concentrated personnel and concentrated activities. In addition, Jiangnan people are generous, hospitable and like to drink. Too many people will inevitably have friction, and a little carelessness will lead to mass incidents. There are countless mass incidents in the season, and historical lessons should be remembered in particular. According to the survey, there are 176 people, accounting for 5 1%.
(3), security risks. During the peak season, drunk driving causes car accidents and casualties every year, causing huge losses to families and society; Crowds are crowded and roads are blocked, so it is impossible to rescue in time in case of fire; It's summer and autumn, which is the season of food poisoning and intestinal infectious diseases. In addition, the general farmers' awareness of health and epidemic prevention is weak, tableware disinfection is not thorough, and collective dining is easy to cause food poisoning. In the past two years, food poisoning incidents have been common, and hidden dangers have emerged one after another.
Whenever the season comes, local town and village leaders often walk on thin ice, so they have to attach great importance to it and invest a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain social order and ensure the safety of one party.
3. It is detrimental to the image of cadres in party member.
According to the survey, the leading householders in the big season are village cadres and private entrepreneurs, who not only have the economic strength of the big season, but also have the ability to contact a wide range of activities; They not only invited relatives and friends, distinguished guests from institutions, but also invited township cadres and even county-level government leaders. Under pressure, some township cadres and government officials are so busy that township canteens often stop eating. The participation of cadres in the season has undoubtedly played a role in fueling the flames and encouraged the people's comparison psychology. "See who has more leaders and who has more cars at the door", which seriously affects the relationship between the party and the masses. During the season, "small cadres stand guard every day and big cadres stagger their meals" has become a joke of the masses.
In addition, every season, farmers who work or do business outside the home put down their work and rush back to their hometown to make all kinds of preparations to welcome guests. Local enterprises have also been forced to stop production, and some foreign trade enterprises are even more miserable. Although the time requirement for foreign trade orders is very tight, we can only go on holiday; In this season, some schools have to have a holiday. Even if there is no holiday, according to the school teacher, students are often absent-minded and the teaching effect is quite poor. The most bitter and tiring thing in the season is the hostess. The host is busy drinking and socializing, and the hostess is busy planning. Sometimes she is too tired to stand up straight. It can be seen that there are indeed many disadvantages in the season, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. The locals are getting tired of holidays. A few people have begun to downplay the holidays, and set up several tables of wine to entertain guests in Tonglu town, and some even don't go home for the holidays at all. However, as far as most people are concerned, it is still the season of grand celebration. The main reasons are: thousands of years of ancestral customs must be preserved; Driven by herd mentality, people pass me by, but they can't face it; In the past, every family lived a hard life. When the economic conditions were good, they had to have a happy holiday and so on. It is under the control of these thoughts that although the historical conditions have changed greatly, the original seasonal customs and characteristics are increasingly diluted and the original foundation is different, but the ontology of seasonal customs has been firmly fixed.
"When the season is sad, every year passes", "When there is too much money, when there is too little money, and when there is not enough money to borrow money, it can't pass" has become a true reflection of most people's psychology in the season. Those with poor family conditions, great economic pressure and good family conditions, especially some private entrepreneurs, feel mentally stressed; Village cadres and business owners are embarrassed not to invite township cadres and county-level government cadres, for fear that they will be called "stingy", and town government and county-level government cadres will not accept the invitation, and for fear that they will be called "arrogant", so they have to eat one after another and try their best to settle it. The season is in this predicament, and it is time to take corresponding countermeasures.
Third, the countermeasures to dilute the "Jiangnan season"
How to deal with seasonal problems, our county has made a special investigation. Only 20 people think that the status quo of "Four Seasons in the South of the Yangtze River" should be retained, accounting for 5.6%; 196 people think it is necessary to improve and transform the Four Seasons in Jiangnan, accounting for 55.4%; 133 people want to cancel the Four Seasons of Jiangnan, accounting for 37.6%. They think that if the government can cancel the season, it will really do a good thing for the masses and increase their income. 5 people think it doesn't matter, accounting for 1.4%. From the above statistical data analysis, it can be seen that only 5.6% people think that the season in the south of the Yangtze River should be kept, and the sum of the two categories that it is necessary to cancel or transform it is as high as 93%, which represents the wishes of most people, and also shows that most people also see the disadvantages and harm of the season, and the voice for taking countermeasures is strong. But it can also be analyzed that some people have a soft spot for seasons. Therefore, it is unrealistic to completely get rid of seasonal traditions in a short time. In addition, some people have the traditional habit of making birthday parties and worshipping Zhou wine during the season. If these are banned, it will not only go against the solution of the problem, but also go against public opinion and easily lead to rebellious mentality. The "Cultural Revolution" once took this extremely "left" approach, and the result was not worth the candle. However, it is extremely irresponsible to think that changing seasons is a spontaneous behavior of the masses and there is no need to take corresponding countermeasures, or to think that the work is difficult and just let it go. Therefore, on the basis of comprehensive analysis and investigation, this paper puts forward the countermeasures to dilute the "Jiangnan season", that is, through the promotion of public opinion, key driving, policy braking, up-and-down interaction and other ways, we will make unremitting efforts to gradually dilute the overheated atmosphere of "Jiangnan season" and gradually eliminate all kinds of bad habits that are inconsistent with the progress of the times.
1. Driven by public opinion
(1), news media publicity. One month before the launch of "Jiangnan Season", news media such as Tonglu TV Station, Tonglu Radio Station and Tonglu Today opened up columns such as "It's time to talk" and "It's time to talk" respectively. In accordance with the requirements of "three closeness", organize journalists to go deep into the grassroots and listen to the views of the grassroots on the season; Radio reports on the successful practice of canceling seasonal areas arouse the awareness of cadres and the masses in the county; Release the suggestions of the county party committee and government on "desalinating the season and celebrating the holidays in a civilized way", so that the local people can make plans early; Invite provincial and municipal news media to publicize and report the successful practices and advanced models of "desalination season and civilized festivals".
(2) Literary propaganda. Organize literary and artistic backbones to arrange sketches, cross talks, stories and other programs that reflect the current situation of the season, and perform in key towns and enterprises before the festival, so that local people can be educated through laughter and further understand the dangers and disadvantages of the season; Usually organize cultural performances and movies to the countryside to enrich the cultural life of the masses. At the same time, in this gap, we will publicize and educate the masses, improve their understanding of the desalination season, and actively respond to the initiative of the county party Committee and county government with practical actions.
(3) Social propaganda. The Communist Youth League Committee, the Women's Federation and the Education Committee held meetings at all levels to make the spirit of the desalination season a household name. Before the festival, propaganda vehicles were used to enter the villages to widely publicize the spirit of "desalination season, civilized holidays"; Distribute the proposal of "Desalinate the season and have a civilized holiday" to each student's parents through the school; Before the festival, banners and slogans of civilized festivals were hung on the main roads of each village. Create a good atmosphere of "concentrating on construction and developing wholeheartedly" and focus the attention of the masses on developing the economy and getting rich. Even if it is difficult to do it at the moment, it is also required to advocate civilized holidays, hygienic holidays and frugal holidays.
Step 2 focus on driving
As far as the working object is concerned, the focus should be on local village-level main cadres and business owners. In the investigation, we know that the important reason for the gradual strengthening of the season is the enthusiastic participation of most local village cadres and business owners, and the continuous expansion of the season scale has produced a chain effect. Therefore, to dilute the season, we must first dilute the idea that major village cadres and business owners are keen on the season, and give full play to the demonstration and driving role of these key objects. Therefore, it is necessary to publicize the spirit of "downplaying the season and celebrating the holidays in a civilized way" through meetings, home visits and other forms, and unify the thinking with the initiative of the county party Committee and the government. Educate them not only to be the "leading geese" of local economic and social development, but also to be the leaders of rural spiritual civilization construction. Guide them to concentrate on developing the economy and put financial resources into developing production. At the same time, it is necessary to reduce their mental stress in various ways, help them dilute their concept of "face" and strengthen their awareness of development, civilization and demonstration. As far as the work area is concerned, the focus should be placed on the villages at the beginning of the season, the central village and the big villages, such as Shifu, Shihe, Shiwu, Shilian, Shifeng, Zhaixiqian and Shenwo in the original Shifu town.
3. Policy braking
In addition to strengthening the guidance of public opinion, publicity and education, we should also formulate some clear policies and disciplines and adopt some mandatory regulations to ensure that the seasonal atmosphere fades year by year.
(1), the disciplinary requirements of cadres in party member. Require county-level organs and township cadres not to spend holidays at relatives' homes except for attracting investment, prohibit private use of buses, and consciously abide by the "three prohibitions" regulations; Party member cadres in rural areas are required to take the lead in downplaying festivals, and irrelevant township and county cadres are encouraged not to be invited.
(2) The school shall not take a holiday in the name of off-season during the season change, and strictly implement the usual schedule.
(3) During the peak season, towns and villages are not allowed to hold collective activities such as commodity fairs and cultural performances, and the corresponding activities are arranged before and after the peak season, which is staggered from the peak season to reduce the population concentration in the peak season.
(4) During the season, the political and legal departments concentrated on cracking down on gamblers, gamblers and those openly called gamblers.
Up-down interaction
It is a great event, a good thing and even more difficult to "dilute the season and celebrate the festival in a civilized way". The key to the "desalination season" lies in whether the leaders of township and county organs have the same understanding and whether all the work can be properly put in place. It is not only a deepening of the understanding of the old problem of season, but also an urgent requirement of the reality to put forward the idea of "desalinating the season and celebrating the festival in a civilized way". With the adjustment of township administrative divisions, the newly established Jiangnan towns include the original Shifu Town, Zhaixi Town and Shenwo Town. This season lasts for four months from the first day of the eighth lunar month to the end of November. According to the previous seasons, the leading cadres in Jiangnan Town don't say that it is difficult to eat and drink in the current season, and even the pressure of maintaining public order is unbearable, so it is really difficult to concentrate on development. Therefore, it is necessary to put forward the desalination season. Therefore, it is suggested that the County Civilization Committee should take the lead in setting up a leading group for "off-season civilized festivals", which is composed of the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, Organization Department, Propaganda Department, Culture and Sports Bureau, Health Bureau, Science and Technology Bureau, Youth League Committee, Women's Federation, Committee on Aging, Bureau of Retired Veteran Cadres, Political and Legal Committee, Public Security Bureau, Industry and Commerce Bureau, Education Bureau, Jiangnan Town, Fengchuan Town and other departments. , pay attention to overall coordination, publicity and launch,
"Desalinate the season and celebrate the holidays with civilization" is a systematic project, a popular project and a long-term project. We should base ourselves on the current situation, focus on the long term, and constantly sum up experience in accordance with the working idea of "should be sparse but not blocked, publicity must be first, peacetime should be strengthened, seasons should be faded, and overall progress should be made"
