Social Assistance Construction in Gu Gan Township

Since 2002, it has helped Gu Gan Township in Fuyuan County, and has coordinated more than 900,000 yuan to help solve the problems of road traffic, drinking water for people and animals, building school buildings, and subsidizing students with difficulties. Once a poor township, it has now become a picturesque village with beautiful environment everywhere. "If it weren't for the strong support of the Provincial Press and Publication Bureau, helping to get projects, asking for funds and sending cadres, Gu Gan wouldn't have today's beauty." A village cadre said.

Now every village has access to roads.

"There is a road from the township government to every village." According to the villagers in Zhang Bu Village, Gu Gan Township, there is no road in the village, and vegetables are grown outside. They set out at dawn and arrived at noon. Now it only takes 30 minutes to get there, and the food can be sold at a good price.

Gu Gan Township covers an area of 82.6 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 3 village committees, 38 natural villages and 6 1 villager group. At the end of 2007, the total population was 1.5 1.27, of which the Shui people accounted for 35%, which is the main settlement of the Shui people in Yunnan. Gu Gan Township, as the only hometown of Shui people in the province, has well-preserved Shui culture and rich folk customs. Folk songs, dances and Nuo operas of the Shui nationality occupy an important position in national culture and are known as "the hometown of the Shui nationality in Yunnan".

In recent years, the local government has provided cement and sand, the villagers have provided labor, and the roads from towns to villages have been repaired, making it easier for people to travel. At present, the development of villages and towns in Gu Gan has changed greatly. In 2005, Gu Gan Township was listed as a demonstration site for building a new socialist countryside in Qujing City.

In 2007, Yunnan Press and Publication Bureau and Yunnan Xinhua Bookstore agreed to invest 400,000 yuan for the renovation of dilapidated buildings in primary and secondary schools in Gu Gan, and 654.38+million yuan to help poor students in Gu Gan.

In the past, the mud pond became a scenic spot.

"This scenic spot in front of the village turned out to be a mud pond. The village used to be full of rubbish, but now it has become lovely. Many girls from other villages are willing to marry in our village. " The villager Bimou washes vegetables by the pool. She is very proud of the changes in the village. In 2005, Sajiaodang Village in Gu Gan Township was rated as an advanced village of spiritual civilization in China.

Walking into this advanced village of spiritual civilization in China, I saw a village built by mountains and rivers, clean floors, white walls and characteristic animal husbandry areas. There are stone benches and chairs for villagers to rest by the winding path. There is a quiet lake at the entrance to the village. On the "cultural wall" on the publicity column at the entrance of the village, the cartoons drawn by the villagers themselves reflect the new changes in their hometown. The content is vivid and unforgettable.

After Sajiaodang Village was rated as the national advanced village of spiritual civilization, the living habits of the villagers have also changed, and people are cleaning the village every day. Everyone in the village loves to learn to read, and there are many college students in the village. Nowadays, every family in this village has two college students, and every family has lived in a foreign house.

Like Sajiaodang Village, many villages in Gu Gan Town are changing. "Look, how beautiful our hometown is. Is it like a landscape painting?" Walking in the villages of Gu Gan Township, you can always hear the villagers proudly say. The stream in front of Xie Hongqiong's house in Shishanjiao Village is gurgling, next to lush bamboo and trees. Brick houses with white walls meander under the hillside, and pieces of vegetables are green and dripping, just like a beautiful picture.

When talking about the changes brought by the new countryside to their hometown, Xie Hongqiong and others looked happy. She said that tap water is installed at home now, biogas is used for cooking and solar energy is used for bathing. The newly-built buildings are spacious and bright, and now rural people can live the life of people in the city.

"Don't beat your chest, don't smoke, don't carry water, don't walk. I never dreamed of such a good life before. " Jiang, an 89-year-old man from Xiagai Village, talked about the new countryside. He thought he was using a rice mill now, or running water now, or going out by car without leaving.

Chisel stones and plant trees to form a beautiful town.

It turns out that there are many rocky mountains in Gu Gan Township. For greening, we decided to plant trees on stones. After digging the pit with the length, width and height of 1 m, the soil was moved from outside to plant trees.

In 2007, the Party Committee and Government of Gu Gan Town took "green, clean, beautiful and bright" as the goal and determined to build Gu Gan into a modern and civilized town with beautiful environment and complete functions. Every year, 2.2% of GDP is allocated from limited financial resources for ecological and environmental protection work such as new energy construction, returning farmland to forests and grasslands, garbage disposal and sewage treatment. According to the standards of installing solar energy 500 yuan and building biogas digester 800 yuan, subsidies will be given to 38 natural villages in the township to build new energy construction projects.

According to statistics, more than 2,500 biogas digesters have been built in the township, with more than 0/0,000 energy-saving stoves, and the clean energy penetration rate has reached 70%. 2,836 sanitary toilets were built, and the popularization rate of sanitary toilets reached 70.9%. Human and animal manure is basically used as farmyard manure and raw materials for biogas digesters, and the recycling rate is 99%. At the same time, Gu Gan has set up a sanitation station, built a garbage disposal pond, equipped with garbage trucks, sprinklers and mobile trash cans (barrels), and professional sanitation workers. In recent years, the national key ecological public welfare forest planning 17200 mu has been completed, and 5026 mu has been closed for afforestation.

"Now, the township's ambient air quality is good, and it was rated as a provincial-level ecological township in 2006. In April this year, it was also rated as a township with beautiful environment in China. Gu Gan Township should be said to be a veritable natural green oxygen bar. " Secretary Guo said proudly.

Multi-pronged development of national culture

Nowadays, looking at the village from the flat road in the countryside, there are residential buildings along the road, and the walls are red, white and black. Beautiful, concise and distinctive patterns of Shui costumes and the "Shui characters" on the wall have become a beautiful landscape, which often attracts the attention of passers-by. In recent years, the township has carefully designed mural patterns, increased investment, taken effective measures to brighten and beautify residential buildings, unified the standards of wall beautification, and made great efforts to create an ecological corridor of national culture.

On the foreheads of the main entrance of some Shui people's houses, there is often a shy eyebrow and a glaring head statue, which is the mascot "Swallow's Mouth" used by Shui people to protect their well-being. The general description of the swallow's mouth is human head, protruding eyes, dog's ears, wide nose, fangs, fangs, tongue sticking out, and a sword in the mouth, which are depicted with various pigments. Shui people believe that putting a swallow mouth on the door can ward off evil spirits, keep the family safe and keep the owner happy. There are many kinds of "swallowing mouth", which can be roughly divided into five types: evil spirits, apes must be evil spirits, eight evils, double sword fog, and sending children to do evil. When making, first carve the face shape on the whole semicircle wood, and then carve the dog's ears, convex eyes, wide nose, fangs, fangs and so on. Separate, and finally insert the sword into your mouth.

In 2005, the unique dance "Swallow's Mouth" organized and performed by Gu Gan Town won the Excellence Award at the International Nuo Culture Festival held in Jiangxi Province. As a song and dance that fully reflects the customs and feelings of the Shui people, Swallow Mouth is divided into five parts, with the life and artistic creation of the Shui people as elements, namely, Pisces bow their heads, hearts weave into a shuttle, sisters join their brothers, auspicious swallow their mouths and this year is still sweet. Through the art of singing and dancing, the history, legends, life, customs, labor and life of the Shui people are presented.

According to the Chinese side, in order to inherit and protect the culture of the Shui people, Gu Gan Township organizes the traditional festival of "March 3rd" every year, and carries out colorful cultural activities of the Shui people with swallowing dance, Jin Qiangun, bamboo pole dance, Baba dance, folk songs of the Shui people and costume display as the main contents. At the same time, actively develop the tourism resources of the Shui nationality, and invest 2.53 million yuan to develop ethnic tourism landscapes such as the water town protection sacred stone hammer, the Millennium golden hammer, the replenishment of Qingquan Longtan, and the hot spring pond natural hot spring. Based on Yanzikou, the mascot of the aquarium, we will develop "Yanzikou wine" and "Yanzikou" handicrafts to build the brand of "Yanzikou". Raise funds in many ways, strengthen the repair and protection of ancient dwellings with traditional architectural style of Shui people, and integrate white walls and green tiles with small farmhouses, which has a unique architectural style of Shui people's dwellings.
