? The bad habit of eating and drinking is not only in rural areas, but also in cities, but it is more serious and worse in rural areas. Wedding, funeral and marriage, originally a traditional custom that brings blessings or mourning, has become a place of ostentation and extravagance in many villages. It is really "can't get married, can't die, can't have children", and some people who don't want to do great things are also threatened by stereotypes and bad habits, passively following and suffering.
As the saying goes, "Less is human kindness, more is debt". Normal courtesy is understandable, but it is extremely difficult to do great things in the name of "human kindness". In some places, the sky-high bride price is prevalent, and all kinds of food are dazzling. Give birth to children, the full moon should be invited, the hundred days should be invited, the first year should be invited, and the long hair should be shaved; Old people's birthdays, a small celebration every five years, an anniversary every ten years, and a birthday party every year, please win a troupe; To build a house, people should be invited to break ground, beams should be invited, the first floor should be invited, and a banquet should be held to entertain guests when moving the house.
Only unexpected, not impossible, trying to eat, rich, face, the purpose is to send "please" back, but also want to make a fortune. Some cadres who hold public power take this opportunity to collect money and even embark on a criminal career of accepting bribes, which has corrupted the social atmosphere and affected the image of party member cadres among the masses. At the same time, the large expenditure of gift money greatly increased the burden on farmers, which led to some farmers' living difficulties and even returning to poverty. In severe cases, it will also lead to family conflicts and affect social development and stability.
? I don't know when weddings, funerals and banquets have become "new customs" in rural areas. Ostentation and extravagance are getting bigger and bigger, and the gift money is getting higher and higher. You can always have a water mat long street banquet for three or four days. "Rome wasn't built in a day", the deep-rooted stereotype in the hearts of the masses is hard to return. It's hard to get rid of them.
Fortunately, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the fundamental improvement of party style and political style, the phenomenon of "eating and drinking" and "throwing banquets" in rural areas has also been effectively curbed, especially the strict requirements for party member cadres. Some places have formulated detailed implementation rules at the political level, and some places have set up red and white councils and volunteer service teams to change customs. These are all good practices worthy of persistence and improvement.
? Telling the truth, only by controlling cadres can we influence and inspire the masses. Judging from the situation of staying in the village in recent years, the management cadres have a long way to go and the localities are not balanced, so they must persist. Several people who met with the "village Committee" said that this year's gift money has reached tens of thousands, and one or two thousand yuan a month is not enough to eat banquets. I'm also smiling bitterly. In the past three years, I have also participated in some indelible banquets in the countryside. Every time I give gifts, there are also two or three thousand yuan! In terms of income, it should not be, or it belongs to the category of "courtesy is lighter than benevolence". For me, it doesn't affect anything, but for the needy people who have just got rid of absolute poverty, it should be "courtesy is fiercer than tiger"!
Rural revitalization, changing customs first. Recorded in Qujing afternoon 10.
