How to cultivate and practice socialist core values in rural areas

Actively cultivating and practicing socialist core values is a strategic task put forward by the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China from the perspective of upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics and consolidating the ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people of the whole country. China is a big agricultural country, and the population living in rural areas accounts for about half of the total population in China. Farmers are an important force in the construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and an important factor in social stability. How to cultivate and practice socialist core values in rural areas is a problem worthy of our deep thinking.

First, the great significance of cultivating and practicing socialist core values in rural areas

The General Office of the Central Committee issued the Opinions on Cultivating and Practicing Socialist Core Values, which made careful arrangements for cultivating and practicing socialist core values in various fields under the new situation. The opinion pointed out: "We should advocate prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony, freedom, equality, justice and the rule of law, patriotism, honesty and friendliness, and actively cultivate and practice socialist core values." For agriculture, rural areas and farmers, the word "three stresses" is related to agricultural development, rural construction and farmers, reflecting the greatest common denominator of farmers' values at this stage, concentrating on expressing farmers' values and grasping the key and foundation of rural socialist ideological construction.

First, it is urgent to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers and build a new socialist countryside. Socialist core values are the soul of the Chinese nation. With the in-depth development of reform and opening up and socialist market economy, the construction of new countryside needs to strengthen the internal support of socialist core values, so as to lead the direction of new countryside construction, improve the quality of new countryside construction, and make the content of socialist core values connect with the reality level of farmers. In the construction of new socialist countryside, socialist core values play a great role in regulating behavior, stabilizing order, providing spiritual motivation and cultivating new farmers. Only when farmers' core values are constantly improved and a good social atmosphere of advocating civilization, learning science, family harmony, simple folk customs, mutual assistance and cooperation, stability and harmony is formed, can the new rural construction be more complete and comprehensive, so it is increasingly important to cultivate and practice socialist core values in the process of new rural construction.

The second is to promote rural civilization and build a harmonious rural culture. Socialist core values determine the direction of socialist development and the goal of struggle, lead the development of rural culture, make the countryside not lose its way on the road ahead, and also play a strategic guiding role in the development and prosperity of rural culture. Most people in China live in the countryside, but the countryside is a weak link in ideological and cultural construction, and people tend to believe in non-mainstream more and more seriously. Establishing socialist core values can effectively promote rural civilization. Cultivating and practicing socialist core values in rural areas will help to lead a new countryside with high literacy with socialist core values, realize people-oriented, respect the people's dominant position, inherit and develop rural traditional culture, abandon rural backward concepts, enhance rural cultural positions and cultural vitality, meet farmers' multi-level cultural needs, realize the benign interaction between market economy and cultural construction, build a harmonious rural culture, and lay a solid foundation for the construction of a new socialist countryside.

The third is to improve the quality of farmers and realize the important guarantee of agricultural modernization. The quality of farmers is directly related to the level of agricultural modernization, which is directly related to the level of national modernization. For a long time, most farmers' overall comprehensive quality is not high, their education level is low, and their thoughts of small farmers and feudal superstitions are reflected from time to time, and farmers lack full understanding of the development of modern agriculture. Therefore, while adjusting and accelerating rural economic development, we should vigorously improve farmers' ideological and cultural quality. Cultivating and practicing socialist core values, as the most critical link in rural ideological construction, plays an important role in improving the overall comprehensive quality of farmers. By vigorously cultivating and practicing socialist core values in rural areas, the quality of farmers can be effectively improved and the level of agricultural modernization can be improved.

Second, the main characteristics and problems of cultivating and practicing socialist core values in rural areas

At present, the broad masses of cadres and people in rural areas are full of confidence in cultivating and practicing socialist core values, showing a good situation and gratifying situation. However, there are still some problems and great challenges.

First, farmers' comprehensive quality is low, and it is difficult to cultivate and practice socialist core values. At present, the thinking of rural people is undergoing profound changes, showing the phenomenon of "three strengths and three weaknesses", that is, strong sense of development, weak sense of power and obligation, strong sense of civilization and weak sense of discrimination, especially farmers' awareness of market, democracy, legal system, rights protection and mass consciousness is stronger than ever before, and the traditional working methods can not meet the needs of the new situation. In addition, because most young people in rural areas go out to work, mostly elderly people, women and children who stay at home, their education level is relatively low and their understanding of policies is relatively poor, so it is inevitable that they will be taken out of context and generalized. The low overall scientific and cultural quality of farmers not only restricts the application of advanced technology and equipment in agricultural production, but also restricts the good social atmosphere in rural areas and the improvement of farmers' own quality, which greatly increases the pressure and difficulty of cultivating and practicing socialist core values in rural areas.

Second, individual grassroots cadres pay insufficient attention to cultivating and practicing rural core values. Some township cadres often pay more attention to economic development than ideological and political work. In their view, economic construction is a hard indicator and a hard task, which can be seen and felt, while cultivating and practicing socialist core values as part of ideological and political work is a soft task, which can be done or not. "It's important to say it, but it's secondary to do it. Don't be busy." Some people think that cultivating and practicing socialist core values can't be effective in a short time, so it's better to grasp economic work and get effective quickly. Therefore, some cadres rarely ask and think about cultivating and practicing socialist core values, which leads to the lack of in-depth implementation of cultivating and practicing core values in rural areas.

Third, the means and methods of cultivating and practicing core values in rural areas are relatively simple. At present, due to the rapid development of information technology, the masses are often surrounded by a lot of information, with a wide range of choices and changeable concepts. The traditional and conventional working methods can no longer meet the needs of the times. Under the new realistic conditions, some cadres are confused in ideological and political work, and feel that the old methods, the new methods, the hard methods and the soft methods will not work. Some grassroots cadres lack pioneering and innovative spirit in cultivating and practicing socialist core values, follow the previous experience model too much, blindly adopt administrative means and centralized indoctrination publicity and education methods, and always simply hang slogans, hold meetings and read documents. And carry out air-to-air publicity and education, making the publicity content monotonous and rigid. Some cadres just copied the documents from their superiors, without combining the hot and difficult issues concerned by the masses, which led to the masses' poor understanding of socialist core values and failed to translate them into conscious actions.

Three. Countermeasures to strengthen the cultivation and practice of rural socialist core values

Cultivating and practicing socialist core values is a long-term strategic task, and we must adhere to people-oriented, improve people's comprehensive quality and promote their all-round development. In the whole process, we should highlight key points, innovate measures, lay a solid foundation, push forward in an all-round way, and create a new situation of cultivating and practicing socialist core values.

First, strengthen study and education to lay a solid ideological foundation for cultivating and practicing socialist core values. The propaganda and education of the party's basic theory is the basic work to cultivate and practice the socialist core values. Guide rural social fashion with socialist core values, vigorously carry forward traditional virtues, carry forward the main theme of patriotism, and cultivate a good fashion of knowing honor and disgrace, stressing righteousness, making contributions and promoting harmony. It is necessary to carry out extensive theoretical propaganda, make use of effective carriers such as villagers' "dam meeting" and village distance education stations, and publicize the grassroots under the socialist core values by compiling propaganda materials, carrying out "going to the countryside" activities, giving special lectures on radio and television, and holding roving lectures on grassroots theories, so as to continuously deepen farmers' understanding and understanding of socialist core values and consolidate the ideological foundation for cultivating and practicing socialist core values.

The second is to strengthen publicity and guidance and form a good public opinion atmosphere to strengthen the cultivation and practice of socialist core values. Correct public opinion orientation is an important condition for cultivating and practicing socialist core values. We should use socialist core values to guide rural public opinion and strive to create a good public opinion atmosphere for rural reform and development. We should make full use of all kinds of public opinion tools, strengthen the propaganda and guidance of socialist core values in rural areas, vigorously publicize scientific theories, spread advanced culture, shape a beautiful mind, and carry forward social integrity through carefully organizing thematic publicity activities, and strive to form a strong positive public opinion so that socialist core values can be perceived, recognized and accepted by the broad masses of the people; It is necessary to strengthen the sense of position, resolutely resist the remnants of feudal superstition in rural areas, and ensure that socialist core values become the mainstream public opinion in rural society.

The third is to play a typical demonstration role and expand the influence of cultivating and practicing socialist core values. Advanced models are vivid teaching materials to promote the cultivation and practice of socialist core values. It is necessary to use the socialist core values to condense the knowledge of rural society, so that rural families, schools and all walks of life can form a joint force, and through typical demonstrations and role models, the socialist core values will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is necessary to give full play to the role of example demonstration, education and guidance of various advanced models, sum up and popularize advanced models and experiences in a timely manner, carry out extensive activities to study and publicize advanced models, educate, influence, guide and shape people with advanced models and deeds, so that the broad masses of farmers can learn by example and catch up with their goals, turn their touching deeds, lofty spirit and noble morality into spiritual wealth of the whole society, and then internalize socialist core values into farmers' ideological consciousness and conscious action.

The fourth is to strengthen the construction of institutional mechanisms to provide a strong guarantee for promoting the cultivation and practice of socialist core values. The construction of system and mechanism is a reliable guarantee for strengthening the cultivation and practice of rural socialist core values. Cultivating and practicing socialist core values in the vast rural areas depends not only on ideological education and practice, but also on systems and mechanisms. It is necessary to improve rules and regulations, integrate the requirements of socialist core values into various rural rules and regulations, further improve rural rules and regulations and other behavioral norms, promote daily and concrete ideological and moral construction, and work hard to implement them, so that socialist core values can become the basic follow of farmers' friends in their daily work and life.

Cultivating and practicing socialist core values in rural areas is a long-term strategic task and a complex systematic project. We should persist in educating farmers with socialist core values, strive to cultivate new socialist farmers, actively guide farmers to participate in reform practice, effectively protect farmers' interests, respect farmers' dominant position, fully mobilize farmers' enthusiasm, comprehensively promote the work of cultivating and practicing socialist core values in rural areas, and provide correct value orientation and strong spiritual support for building a new socialist countryside and realizing agricultural modernization.
