Change of customs and customs signature wall

On April 6, walking in the streets and alleys of Renzhuang Town, Qingtian County, there were many slogans, cultural walls, and squares with the theme of "frugality, kindness, filial piety and sincerity". Many villagers also had exquisite advertisements on the exterior walls. A strong atmosphere of new folk customs construction came to their faces, just like the gusts of spring breeze blowing from time to time between the mountains, making people feel very comfortable.

"Life is getting better and better, and the atmosphere of people holding funerals is getting more and more powerful. But since the 'rules' and 'groups' have been established, it has been advocated to hold new marriages and simple funerals, and everyone's burden has been reduced." said Ms. Ye, a villager.

Introduce the work of changing customs and customs to older people in the village

Ms. Ye mentioned the "rules" refer to the simplified funeral system written into the "Renzhuang Town Convention on the Construction of Civilization and Customs in Renzhuang Town". This local "native law" requires villagers to hold funerals in a very concrete way and put forward quantitative standards; the "group" refers to the "three groups" organization of the "three groups" of the red and white wedding consulting group, the civilization creation supervision group, and the village family motto revision group, which regularly publicizes the changes in customs and customs to villagers, curbs the phenomena of being pompous, being generous, and being extravagant.

Under the influence of "rules" and "groups", Lin Canquan, the father-in-law of Renzhuang Village Villagers' Committee, made a will to ask for a simple mourning; retired cadre Lin Suidian, after his wife passed away, donated the 11,000 yuan saved to the Elderly Association for charity. This year, when he died, he once again asked to hold the funeral briefly and donated 10,000 yuan again and other examples.

Renzhuang Town’s “one rule and three groups” is a concrete manifestation of Qingtian County’s implementation of the “one appointment and four meetings” system to change customs in various townships (streets). Marriage and funerals are important rituals in life, but in recent years, some unhealthy trends have made many people feel "tired". When the "gray" atmosphere of talking about pomp, showing off one's own style, and comparing with each other's affairs prevailed, Qingtian County used the "one appointment and four meetings" system to blow a new trend of simply holding funerals and changing customs.

Villagers carefully understand the "Convention on the Construction of Civilizations in Renzhuang Town"

Staff of the County Civilization Office introduced that old customs and bad habits were not formed in one or two days. The government can only play a guiding role in governance rather than forcing it. Using village rules and regulations and villagers' organizations to make villagers self-govern.

The specific "one appointment and four associations" refers to the establishment and improvement of village rules and regulations based on the actual situation of the village, so that "local policies" become a "quasi-law" to promote the change of customs; organize villagers or village cadres in the village who are highly prestigious and enthusiastic about public welfare to establish "one appointment and four associations" organizations such as the "one appointment and four associations" organization.

"Change customs and customs, we must attack old customs and bad habits. This must not only be 'breaking', but also 'establishing', and we must 'plant' good systems and cultures to allow rural civilization to grow." The relevant person in charge of Qingtian County Civilization Office introduced that Qingtian will firmly grasp this "one appointment and four meetings" system, and ensure that there are regulations, systems and activities, so that the masses can supervise and lead the masses.
