Use a group as a unit to understand the local history and contemporary cultural construction, and discuss how to strengthen local cultural construction in Wenzhou.

As the basic unit of society, rural areas are the largest in number and the most widely distributed, and are an important foundation for building a harmonious society. How to liberate ourselves from traditional thinking, liberate ourselves from old ideas, establish ideological and cultural concepts that are consistent with building a harmonious society, seize the key factors that affect the harmonious development of rural areas, and strengthen the pertinence of rural cultural construction. and effectiveness are undoubtedly of great practical significance.

This article takes Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province as an example, starting from the current situation and existing problems of rural cultural construction, and makes a preliminary discussion on how to strengthen rural cultural construction and build a harmonious society.

1. Current trends in rural cultural construction

In recent years, especially with the advancement of new rural construction, our city has done a lot of work in rural cultural construction. It is developing in a positive and healthy direction and has achieved certain results.

(1) Rural cultural awareness continues to increase

In order to further strengthen rural cultural construction, the municipal party committee and the municipal government have seized the opportunity of the country’s increasing emphasis on the development of social undertakings and the farmers’ awareness of culture In line with the desire of demand, rural cultural construction has been better integrated into the development of economic and social undertakings, and rural cultural construction has been included as an important part of the "five new and one good" construction of new rural areas to shape a new look, and we have effectively achieved this goal. Initial results have been achieved. There have been great improvements and progress in terms of strengthening leadership in rural cultural construction and investing in rural cultural construction, including the conscious participation of farmers. In terms of leadership, governments at all levels have established and improved mechanisms, introduced measures, and put forward specific requirements. A rural cultural construction plan has been formulated, and rural cultural construction instructors have been dispatched at the city and county levels. The Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Culture Bureau, and the Municipal New Village Office jointly issued a document to make arrangements for strengthening rural cultural construction in the construction of new rural areas. With the advancement of new rural construction and based on actual conditions, the municipal government has issued the "Opinions on Strengthening the Protection of Immovable Cultural Relics", actively declared characteristic cultural villages, intangible cultural heritage and other highly targeted measures, and carefully organized farmers close to rural life. Art festivals, etc., have provided a strong guarantee for rural cultural construction; in terms of investment, in the past two years, the cultural department alone has strived for nearly 17 million yuan in funds, and the city has invested nearly 50 million yuan in establishing city-to-county ( City) has invested more than 8 million yuan in 1,100 kilometers of optical cable trunk network to equip more than 500 fitness paths. Coupled with special funds and supporting funds at the municipal and county levels, such investment can be said to have never been done before. It provides strong support for rural cultural construction. In terms of management, we should gradually standardize the rural cultural market and purify the rural cultural development environment. In accordance with the requirements of focusing on prosperity with one hand and management with the other, the cultural department strictly examines qualifications, applies for certificates in a unified manner, and guides and supports the development of theater troupes in management; the industrial and commercial department applies for business licenses, performs with a license, and operates legally; the public security department Strengthen supervision over the performance content and public security of performance venues, resolutely ban illegal business venues, put an end to all kinds of cultural performances with low style and unhealthy content, create a social environment that supports healthy culture and resists decadent culture, and ensure that advanced culture dominates the ideological position of rural areas. wait. This fully reflects the gradual enhancement of rural cultural awareness.

((1) The foundation of rural cultural construction is not solid enough.

First, the ideological foundation is not solid enough. The ideological understanding of some leading cadres is not enough, and there is a tendency to focus on economic construction and neglect culture. The phenomenon of construction. Some people believe that economic construction is real and can achieve short-term benefits, and political achievements can be reflected immediately, while cultural construction is fictitious and cannot be effective for a while, and political achievements will not be reflected for a while. Therefore, some leaders They talk about the importance of cultural construction, but do not pay attention to it in their hearts and actions. Some village-level cadres lack the necessary understanding of cultural construction and believe that cultural construction is a matter for the city people and that the farmers themselves are not highly educated. Just eat and drink enough and do your own thing. There is no need to spend more thankless money.

Second, the organizational foundation is not solid enough. On the one hand, the team of township cultural staff is not strong enough. The age structure and knowledge structure of this team of cultural workers are aging. Many of them are no longer able to meet the current needs of rural cultural work. On the other hand, their responsibilities are not clear enough. Most of the cultural workers in townships hold other jobs and work part-time. Work is the main focus, and there is little energy for cultural work. There is a phenomenon that cultural cadres are not named "Wen"; coupled with the lack of cultural instructors at the village level, cultural work has no "feet" and it is difficult to stand up.

Third, the mass foundation is not strong enough. The people are not only enjoyrs of rural cultural achievements, but also participants in rural cultural construction, and are the main body of rural cultural construction. Since the cultural quality of the rural population in our city is generally low, and most of them do not have the opportunity to receive re-education, although party committees and governments at all levels are now paying more and more attention to the quality training of the rural population, due to limitations in energy and funds, the more influential Cultural, technological, health, and sports activities in the countryside are also very limited, and various trainings for farmers are difficult to meet the needs of the masses. The quality of farmers is not improving rapidly, and their acceptance of advanced culture and health culture has been greatly restricted. To a large extent, It leaves room for vulgar culture, religion, and superstition.

(2) The support for rural cultural construction is not strong enough

First, the economic support is not strong enough. The development of cultural undertakings needs to rely on certain economic support, especially for rural cultural construction undertakings with a weak foundation. Insufficient funds have been a prominent problem that has plagued the development of rural cultural undertakings in our city for many years. On the one hand, due to the underdeveloped economy and limited financial resources of county and township governments, the government's investment support for rural cultural construction is insufficient. There is also a problem of the importance that governments at all levels attach to rural cultural construction; on the other hand, the village-level collective economy is very Weak, it is difficult to talk about investment in cultural construction; in addition, there is still a lack of support from social forces to participate in rural cultural construction, and there is not a strong atmosphere for the participation of various enterprises and economic entities in supporting rural cultural construction.

The second is that the carrier settings are not close enough. Including the carrier setting, there is a certain distance between the form and the masses. As an important carrier for the prosperity and promotion of rural culture, most township cultural stations are located within township agencies and cannot play their role. Various types of cultural programs sent to the countryside are mostly limited to the seat of the township government. Very few activities are carried out directly to the villages, and mass participation in mass culture is difficult to reflect. The content of the carrier is difficult to resonate with the people. The literary and artistic groups currently active in rural areas lack long-term plans and high-quality talents, are not innovative enough in content, and lack new ideas that combine traditional culture with the spirit of the times. They find it difficult to resonate with the masses, leading to survival problems. crisis.

(3) The environment for rural cultural construction is not optimized enough

First, the policies are not supporting enough. Cultural construction requires an effective guarantee and promotion mechanism. At present, except for the Cultural Relics Law and a few limited regulations, there are very few legislative and policy provisions on cultural construction, and the development of cultural undertakings lacks necessary policy support. For example, there are no clear regulations on investment policies for rural cultural construction, making it difficult to ensure effective investment.

Second, the atmosphere is not strong enough. First of all, the government pays more attention to urban cultural construction than rural cultural construction, and the atmosphere of rural cultural construction is not as strong as that of urban cultural construction. Secondly, the popularity of rural cultural development is not strong. Because there are many migrant workers and business people in our city, and they are mainly young adults, and most of the people who stay at home are elderly women and children, rural cultural construction lacks popularity. Third, there are not many folk theater troupes and the current situation is not optimistic. The lack of professional teams will inevitably affect the atmosphere of rural cultural construction.

Faced with the current situation of rural culture, at present, the construction and development of rural culture in our city must pay attention to at least the following three aspects:

First, the economic transformation urgently requires the development of rural culture. The country is now in a period of economic system transformation, which is an irreversible historical trend that conforms to the requirements of historical development and people-oriented social development. During this period, it was not only reflected in material abundance, but also required social progress, including cultural development.

From a deeper level, this transformation first starts with concepts and spirituality, and then manifests itself in material and behavioral methods. Rural areas are inherently lacking in cultural resources, especially rural grassroots cultural infrastructure, cultural activities, and cultural education have been relatively poor for a long time. It is particularly urgent to fill the shortage in this area; many traditional, backward, and decadent cultures have been lost to a large extent. has disintegrated or gradually disappeared, and the culture adapted to the new era is not yet mature. Rural areas urgently need to vigorously develop a new socialist culture.

Second, rebuilding rural social values ??in the new era urgently requires the development of rural culture. This new type of rural social values ??refers to the common moral values ??of the peasant masses established under the conditions of the socialist market economy, and embodies the civilization level and progress of the vast rural areas and farmers. For a long time, due to the influence of the rural economic and cultural environment, the formation of this new type of rural values ??has also been affected to a certain extent. Only by forming a social value system that meets the requirements of today's rural development and becomes the common pursuit of the whole society can we guide the progress and development of rural society and promote social evolution and social enlightenment. Therefore, constructing a value system that can not only reflect the pursuit of farmers' values ??in the new era, but also comply with the requirements of the socialist market and the people-oriented scientific concept of development has become a top priority in rural cultural construction.

Third, building a new countryside urgently requires the development of rural culture. The construction of new countryside is rich in connotation, including not only the material aspect, but also the spiritual aspect. To maintain vitality in the new countryside, it must be supported by new rural culture. Only by vigorously developing rural culture, continuously improving the ideological and scientific and cultural quality of rural people, and enriching and meeting the growing cultural needs of farmers can we provide sustained, healthy, and scientific spiritual power and intellectual support for the construction of a new countryside, and fundamentally Solve the problem of coordinated urban and rural development. This is the fundamental strategy for rural development.

3. Ideas for the development of rural culture in the future

Strengthening the construction of rural culture is not only an inevitable requirement for the current sustainable, healthy and scientific development of rural areas, agriculture, and farmers, but also an organic component of building a harmonious rural society. part. There is a long way to go to grasp the direction of progress of advanced culture, firmly take root in rural areas with advanced culture, guide rural culture with advanced culture, and advance the process of rural cultural construction in our city.

(1) Accelerate the development of public welfare cultural undertakings

1. Give full play to the leading role of the government, fully implement the spirit of the "Opinions on Further Strengthening Rural Cultural Construction" at all levels, and combine it with our In accordance with the actual situation of the city, we must strengthen leadership in rural cultural construction, carry out rural cultural construction planning, and make rural cultural construction and new rural construction go hand in hand. Increase the government's public financial investment in the construction of public welfare cultural facilities, prioritize cultural projects closely related to the interests of the people, lower the threshold for cultural consumption, and better implement free or preferential public services to the public, especially farmers. cultural facilities.

2. Continue to implement in depth the "Hundred Counties and Thousands of Townships Publicity and Culture Project", "Knowledge Project", and "Dandelion Project"; carry out digital reform of rural films; implement the "2131" rural film project; increase cultural information Strengthen the construction and implementation of resource sharing projects, and provide support and guidance for resource sharing projects. In 2007, we must achieve the goal of establishing resource sharing outlets in counties and counties.

3. Continue to consolidate and develop new rural construction and create "hundred, thousand, ten thousand" cultural project construction achievements, and in accordance with the requirements of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", increase the number of new and renovated county (city, district) public buildings* ** In terms of cultural infrastructure, Ruijin and Xinfeng will build new libraries with a building area of ??no less than 2,500 square meters, and build and expand Xingguo and Ruijin museums (memorial halls) and other projects. At the same time, we will continue to carry out the "three activities" of rural culture in the province in depth, increase the supervision of the use of funds and activities of the "three activities" of rural culture, organize the city's Farmers Art Festival and "Ganzhou City to carry out rural culture" Three activities 'Achievements Photo Exhibition'.

4. Accelerate the establishment and improvement of the rural public cultural service system.

Implement the "Rural Cultural Construction Project" and carefully plan and construct cultural demonstration sites in Wei towns. In 2007, 35 township cultural stations in the city met the provincial standards, including 10 first-class stations; each township has a theater or Outdoor performance venues; gradually build more than 30 administrative villages into "characteristic cultural villages". 60 administrative villages in the city have two rooms and one column (library, cultural activity room, publicity column), and can carry out normal activities; each natural village has at least There is one rural cultural center household that meets the standards.

5. Encourage social forces to donate and establish public welfare cultural undertakings. With the government as the leader and society as the main body, we must achieve scientific planning, overall arrangements, classified guidance, step-by-step implementation, and innovative mechanisms. We should focus on towns and villages, seize the key to the village, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all social forces to launch rural cultural undertakings. , striving to meet the people's growing spiritual and cultural needs. Seize the cell of farmers, encourage the masses to self-write, self-write, self-perform, self-sing, self-photograph, and self-draw, cultivate hundreds of mass authors and rural literary and art stars, and work hard to recruit people into households; cultivate and support various mass literary and art societies, and fully Mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers to run their own culture.

(2) Building a harmonious rural culture

1. Vigorously promote literary and artistic creation and create a good ideological and public opinion atmosphere for the construction of a new countryside. Increase funding for the selection of key rural themes, and based on the principle of being close to reality, close to life, and close to the masses, create and launch a number of literary and artistic masterpieces for farmers that reflect contemporary rural life and are popular among farmers, especially in light of the current actual cultural work, strengthen Literary and artistic creations with the value orientation of building a harmonious society strive to meet the cultural needs of the broad masses of the people and the needs of harmonious social development, make full use of the cognitive, educational, aesthetic, entertainment and other functions of literary and artistic works, advocate basic socialist moral norms, and promote rural development. The formation and development of good social atmosphere. Continue to organize personnel to compile a collection of rural cultural activity plans, excellent plays and film films based on the actual conditions of rural areas and farmers, so that the city's rural grassroots cultural workers can exchange, share and learn from it.

2. Strengthen rural cultural market management and purify the new rural cultural development environment. Actively cultivate and improve the rural cultural market, and vigorously support healthy and beneficial cultural products and cultural services. Based on the seasonal, festive, regional and mobile characteristics of the rural cultural market, we will strengthen the management of key issues, key times and key areas. In view of the current signs that "cultural garbage" is spreading to rural areas and that decadent and backward culture is poisoning the peasant masses, it is necessary to strictly review qualifications, apply for unified certificates, strengthen supervision of performance content and performance venues, resolutely ban illegal business premises, and put an end to all kinds of styles. Cultural performances with low quality and unhealthy content should be eliminated, create a social environment that supports healthy culture and resist decadent culture, and ensure that advanced culture is used to occupy the ideological position of rural areas.

3. Actively carry out cultural activities to enrich farmers’ cultural life. Make full use of holidays and rural fairs to carry out cultural activities, combine sending culture, theater and books to the countryside with professional cultural workers going to rural areas to guide people's cultural activities, and combine regular, small and diverse cultural activities with Regularly organize large and medium-sized mass cultural activities to educate farmers on patriotism, collectivism, and national unity, and advocate civilized and healthy lifestyles and social customs.

(3) Protection and utilization of rural characteristic culture

1. Further protect and declare ancient villages. In the construction of new rural areas and the planning and construction of villages and towns, we will further explore the cultural connotations of ancient villages and actively organize and recommend applications for cultural relics protection lists and historical and cultural villages. Gannan is the cradle and settlement place of Hakkas, with a long history and profound cultural heritage. However, due to historical reasons, many ancient villages have been damaged to varying degrees, and there are not many well-preserved ancient villages. It is necessary to effectively protect the cultural relics of ancient villages, and encourage counties (cities, districts) to use multiple channels to attract social funds to rescue and repair cultural relics and ancient buildings in ancient villages that are on the verge of collapse. Actively formulate measures for the protection and management of cultural relics in ancient villages, step up the rescue and maintenance of endangered ancient buildings and ancient residences in rural areas, and focus on arranging 2-3 larger cultural relics maintenance projects every year.

2. Continue to protect and utilize intangible cultural heritage in the construction of new rural areas. Strengthen the survey and protection of intangible cultural heritage in the construction of new rural areas, and carry forward the excellent national and folk cultural traditions and local characteristic culture on the basis of research and protection. To adapt to the aesthetic needs of farmer audiences, when carrying out rural cultural activities, we should actively explore existing and unique folk cultural resources, constantly organize folk art, cultivate folk literature and art teams, innovate activity methods, and build display platforms. Make full use of the art forms that are popular among local people, and organize farmers to carry out various cultural and artistic performances, Hakka folk customs performances, folk stunt performances and art, calligraphy and painting, photography exhibitions and other activities through festivals and farmers' cultural and art festivals, so that farmers can enjoy the " In the process of "Farmers' Acting" and "Farmers' Acting", life is enlivened, sentiments are cultivated, and local folk culture is inherited and protected.

At the same time, we will deeply explore and systematically process and organize the artistic creation, tunes, tunes, etc. of tea-picking opera in southern Jiangxi; strive to cultivate new artistic talents and top talents, and carry out in-depth theoretical research on tea-picking opera. Actively rescue and sort out Gannan folk songs. Edited and published a collection of Gannan folk songs, recording all original folk music cassette materials into CDs.

3. Strengthen the protection of cultural relics in the construction of new rural areas, and plan to rescue and protect a number of traditional buildings with historical, artistic and scientific value, as well as cultural relics such as Red Army slogans and cartoons. Attach great importance to the collection and arrangement of revolutionary historical relics and the protection of key revolutionary historical sites. We will speed up the implementation of the rescue and protection project of precious revolutionary historical relics such as slogans and cartoons in the Soviet area, do a good job in the protection and data collection of Red Army slogans and cartoons, and complete the "Selection of Red Army Slogans and Cartoons in the Southern Jiangxi Soviet Area".

(4) Vigorously develop rural characteristic cultural industries

Strengthen the census and planning and construction of rural characteristic cultural resources, promote the effective integration of cultural resources in a planned and step-by-step manner, and initially establish a system consistent with socialism A relatively complete cultural industry system that is compatible with the market economic system. By organizing the mass production of cultural products with local characteristics of our city such as root carvings, strange stones, lanterns, lanterns, calligraphy and painting, paper-cutting, and paper binding, we have launched more characteristic cultural industry brands such as root carvings, strange stones, paper binding, bamboo weaving, and inkstones; combined with local Cultural characteristics create tourism projects such as "Hakka Folk Customs", "Red and Green Ancient", and "Farmhouse Entertainment", which bring popularity to rural areas and increase economic income. Actively promote the sound development, optimization and upgrading of cultural industries such as the characteristic cultural products industry and rural cultural tourism. Actively expand the performing arts market and increase economic benefits. Gradually cultivate characteristic cultural industries into new growth points of the rural economy, truly organically integrate rural culture and rural economic development, and bring spiritual and material benefits to the majority of farmers.

(5) Strengthen talent training

Actively support rural professional and amateur cultural teams, strive to improve the quality of rural cultural workers, and link cultural construction with farmers’ economic income increase, not only It is a labor industry, and more technology and culture must be added. At present, it has become an urgent task to improve the current situation of "lack of support" in rural cultural teams as soon as possible and to replenish "fresh blood" in a timely manner. In the future, we will further increase support for talent training, gradually allocate strong teams, strengthen guidance on rural cultural construction, and ensure that rural cultural work is grasped, done, and managed.
