Original title: ban PI Ma Dai Xiao village director's apology: eager to change customs, improper wording
Recently, many village committees in Shanxi have formulated village rules, including prohibiting wearing hemp and filial piety, which has aroused controversy. On the 10th, the village director of the 'strictest village regulations' issued an apology, saying that he was eager to change customs and improper wording. Villagers said that wedding and funeral, full moon, one year old, three years old, twelve years old, joining the army, going to school and building houses all need seats, which is really a heavy burden.

Chideng village, Dadeng Township, Xiangfen County, Shanxi Province, recently formulated the strictest village regulations in history. According to the requirements of the village regulations, from October 1, it is not allowed to celebrate the full moon, one-year-old birthday, 60th birthday, moving banquet, etc. it is not allowed to wear mourning at funerals, hold memorial activities, send wreaths and paper ties, etc. everything should be simple and put an end to extravagance and waste; All villagers are not allowed to participate in the above situations. Otherwise, the star score of the moral bank will be demoted, and the procedures for poor students, transfer to school and going to the household will not be handled & hellip& hellip;
This caused an uproar on the Internet. Fortunately, the village regulations were abolished before they were implemented, and the children's transfer to school and Hukou were not affected by the holidays. Da Deng Xiang said that a more rigorous, specific and operational document will be issued to replace this announcement.
In real life, such 'wonderful village rules' can be found everywhere, but the results are hastily ended in doubt. Why is the wine style of weddings and funerals repeated? In fact, behind the utilitarian mentality of governing the indiscriminate and disorderly banquet, it is the power to 'use too much force' and over correct. On the one hand, this shows that the trend of large-scale operation at the grass-roots level is deeply rooted, and even though it has been heavily renovated by all localities, it has not been fundamentally eliminated; On the other hand, it is inappropriate to deal with the indiscriminate catering in rural areas. The compulsory intervention of administrative means is the inevitable requirement of the modernization of grass-roots governance, and relying solely on simple and crude administrative means will not only not cure this disorder, but also lead to the crossing of power.
To change the old rules and bad habits in rural areas, in addition to village rules and regulations, villagers should also develop self-consciousness. Guiding villagers to develop civilized living habits is inseparable from the protection of rigid norms, and the attribute of power expansion determines that grass-roots governance should not only rely on simple and rough rigid constraints, but also print the wind of civilization in every villager's heart in a popular way. Moreover, for so many weddings and funerals every day, I'm afraid a paper announcement is out of reach.
Perhaps the starting point of this village regulation is to be good for the masses, but it is the responsibility of the village committee to issue certificates for poor students, transfer to school and registered permanent residence for the villagers, which can not be linked to the management. The difference of each family's economic conditions also determines the different banquet specifications. How to identify extravagance and waste with the 'one size fits all' standard? If this village regulation is implemented rashly, whether a bowl of water is flat or not will inevitably lead to complaints from the villagers. Mourning, mourning and sending wreaths are traditional customs. If you force a cow to drink water, it will be difficult for the people to accept it in their hearts.
We should not blindly block up indiscriminate banquets, but guide the people to establish a new style in a healthy and civilized way, and nourish the simple folk style with a civilized rural style. " It is not polite to come but not to go. It is a traditional rural culture to pay attention to human relations and reciprocity. Although it is no longer the old scene, it is not necessary to properly retain the simple banquet culture as a way to express feelings and carry thoughts and blessings. It is not wrong to restrict Weddings and funerals.
