"Social ills" are all negative lists and are generally difficult to see in county annals. Yongzhou City The new version of the eleven counties rarely record this issue in detail. "Qiyang County Chronicles" (1978-2004) breaks the taboos and truthfully records the "social malpractice" that existed in the county at that time in Chapter 25, Chapter 3 of "Social malpractice" Chapter 3 of "New Styles and Old Habits" Section 2 of "Social malpractice".
After the birth of New China, the accumulated social ills of Qiyang were greatly reduced after publicity and education on laws and regulations, and supplemented by transformation measures, and even banned extermination. After the reform and opening up , the portal was opened, advanced science and management experience was introduced to the county, and "flies, mosquitoes and dust" also took advantage of the situation. Bad habits that were once prohibited, such as gambling, prostitution, drug use and drug trafficking, feudal superstition, etc., were rekindled and spread, affecting the stability of social civilization and the smooth progress of reform and opening up.
1. Gambling
Some people gambling activities in the form of poker, chess, card cards, mahjong, game consoles, computers, etc. were recovered in the early 1990s. It started with entertainment and then gambling, and the number of people increased, and the gambling funds became larger and larger.
Poker gambling mainly includes "card package", "land speculation", and "playing 240" points (renamed 300 points in 2004). The winning or losing of a single game is determined by the number of gains and losses. Generally, the winning or losing of a single game is a few yuan or dozens of yuan, and there are hundreds of yuan. There is also a way to play "日本日本 ", which can be played by multiple players, each person grabs three playing cards, which can form three, flush, cross-flower, pair, miscellaneous cards and other forms. The player decides to give up or participate in the competition based on (or estimates) the quality of the playing card form he has obtained until the end of the game is left to win. Generally, there are dozens or hundreds of yuan in a game, and there are also thousands of yuan.
The main forms of gambling are "poking", "pulling the beard", and "pulling the paijiu". Generally, there are several cents to a few yuan per game, and there are also dozens of yuan.
The form of mahjong gambling is relatively simple. Players either eat, touch, or touch themselves. As long as the mahjong in their hands has four pairs and one pair of players (except for Qijie, Thirteen Bad, and all of them) you can "give the cards". There is a community of more than 300 shops in , Wuxi Town, and 15 mahjong halls are opened.

After entering the 21st century, due to the shift in amusement interest, this phenomenon has gradually decreased in rural areas, and counties are still common. The winning or losing in each game is usually a few yuan or dozens of yuan.
The majority of teenagers use game consoles. Two people use the keys of the game console to play a certain game. The winner can often get a few cents to a few yuan in cash, and whoever loses will pay the rental fee.
In some amusement places or shops, there are also people who use horse treadmills or slot machines to gamble. Because of the huge number of wins and losses, it was once banned, but in 2004 it was about to make a comeback.
There is no fixed place for gambling venues, but there are also taverns and entertainment venues, and there are also families; there are also cities in the city, and there are also rural areas; there are ordinary people, and there are also party members and cadres. Although the public security and other departments have investigated and dealt with repeatedly, they have not stopped.
2. Sorry for prostitution and raising mistresses
Prostitution and prostitution appeared in the late 1980s. Prostitutes in the county town mainly appear in the form of secret prostitution, including some hotels, amusement centers, hair salons, beauty salons, massage centers, foot bath cities and other service amusement places, and provide "one-stop" services for eating, drinking, entertainment, gambling and prostitution. Some little girls are both waiters and secret prostitutes. When customers consume, they wander between the banquet, tease the customers before, and flatter and lure them. When customers have requests, they immediately "respond to the stage". There is another type of place that has signs such as hair salons, beauty salons, massage parlors, etc., but it does not do business with signs. The lady stands at the door and teases her, doing "skin and flesh business". Although the government cracked down on and cleaned up the prostitution of Piao Juan, it has been repeatedly banned.In 2004, in accordance with the relevant spirit, in order to prevent the spread of venereal diseases such as AIDS , the county health and epidemic prevention station mandatory distribution of "condoms" to all entertainment service places in the county.
In addition, there are some men who have extramarital affair and raise mistresses. Some unmarried or married women, under the temptation of money or some kind of interests, act as the "sexual partner" of certain bosses or dignitaries for a long time, that is, mistresses. A man may "hide a beautiful woman in a golden house" in an external house (rental) or may be in harmony with his lover in a fixed time and place, and the bold and reckless person will bring his mistress into his home. There is folk song : "The first-class husband has a home abroad, the second-class husband has a home outside the home, the third-class husband has a flower outside the home, the fourth-class husband has a flower outside the home, the fifth-class husband returns home on time." Although there are not many "sex partners", it is extremely unfavorable to the stability of social, family and marriage. According to incomplete statistics, in the divorce cases in the county town in 2004, 32.8% of the total divorces were clearly caused by the intervention of "third parties".
3. Drug use and drug trafficking
Drug use and drug trafficking is a crime that seriously endangers society and people's physical health, and was once banned at the beginning of the founding of New China . In the 1980s, drug use and trafficking were rediscovered in counties, mostly teenagers, with wider scope and faster development. Many people lost their money, were as thin as they were even killed. In order to raise drug funds, some people take risks and go to the criminal path of drug trafficking, theft, robbery, abducting, and prostitution. Some "addicts" share syringe , causing cross infection and rapid spread of diseases, seriously endangering the health of others and themselves. Qiyang County established the drug rehabilitation center in 1998, and successively treated 55 people with drug rehabilitation. It was suspended due to economic reasons on July 20, 2000.
Qiyang 's drug trafficking channels are mainly for drug dealers to purchase drugs from Myanmar, Yunnan and other places. They enter Qiyang through Guangxi and Guizhou, and generally range from 100 to 200 yuan per gram. A major drug trafficking case was cracked on October 18, 2004. Four drug dealers were arrested, 9.12 kilograms of heroin were seized, and the drug money was 520,000 yuan
4. Inviting guests and giving gifts
China has always been a country of etiquette, and the people in Qiyang valued gifts and paid tribute to each other. During festivals and birthdays, it is not wrong to be together with relatives and friends.
Since the 1990s, invitations and gifts have gradually become tainted with the smell of money and the philanthropy. First, there are many names for treating guests. There are Sancha Wine , Full Moon Wine , housewarming wine, wedding wine, daughter-in-law wine, school wine, promotion wine, funeral wine, etc., which are all in one go. The second is to distribute invitations everywhere. Generally, preparations are made a few days or even half a month before the wedding, setting a list, and one invitation per person, or sending or calling. I was willing to go after receiving the invitation. I was not very happy to be afraid of smearing the owner's face, and I was afraid of offending others. I would not be able to meet in the future, so I had to smile and go there with my teeth. The third is to compare gifts and money. The day grows and the month grows, and the gift money increases year by year. In the early 1990s, the gift money was generally around 50 yuan, and in 2004, it usually costs 100 to 200 yuan. Frequent treats made many people overwhelmed, and they had to slap their faces to fill the fat man, eat food for the first time, and even borrow money to give gifts. What's more, some powerful people take advantage of the opportunity of treating guests to accumulate money, accept gifts and bribes, and people often complain.
5. Feudal superstition and other
Due to the influence of traditional customs over thousands of years and the lack of some humanities knowledge, superstition activities have basically never stopped in Qiyang. After the 1980s, superstitious activities were on the rise, and intensified in the 1990s. When building a house and building a tomb, you need to look at the feng shui. When you lower the foot of the house, raise the beam, marry, and relocation, you need to choose the day, and when you open a celebration, you need to check the time. Some people take the opportunity to engage in superstitious activities to make money. The main methods include reading the eight characters, reading the face, fortune telling, measuring the characters, asking for signatures, making a temple, singing night songs, asking for immortals, and worshiping repentance.
In addition, every year, the Ghost Festival on July 3rd, almost every household burns paper money and sets off firecrackers, causing chaos. In rural areas, night songs and temples are still required to hold funerals. Generally, it costs thousands or tens of thousands of yuan to place wine, and most of them are buried.
html Since the 1980s, street thugs and city tyrants have appeared in county towns. It was especially serious after 90 years, and it formed a criminal gang, rampant and domineering, gathering crowds to fight, "solve the difficulties" and "set them down". Although it has been hit, it has fallen one after another.
