For a long time, the foundation of village-level public cultural services has been weak, the system is absent, and it is difficult to be effective for a long time. How can farmers enjoy public cultural services without leaving the village? After more than 10 years of exploration, the Guangxi guests handed over a satisfactory answer sheet for people's livelihood.
Singing and balls replaced the sound of mahjong
"Tonight, practice the Zhuanghuan Mountain Song with everyone to prepare for the next party in the village." During the day to take care of their own sugar cane fields and sugar oranges, at night with their children to the village's cultural corridor rehearsals, Laibin City Xiangzhou County Maping Town Dayi village villager Qin Wenjing had a very fulfilling day. Qin Wenjing told the reporter that the village holds dozens of various cultural performances every year.
Da Tuo Village is a Zhuang village with a remote location that previously had difficulty in enjoying modern public cultural services. "Aside from playing cards, drinking, and gambling, many villagers have nothing to do in their spare time." Pan Xiaohan, secretary of the general branch of the party in The Village of Da Tuo, said.
In recent years, Laibin City has accelerated the establishment of a village-level public cultural service system, so that cultural facilities and cultural services in these areas can achieve leapfrog development.
Laibin City's continuous public cultural services have fostered a new civilization in urban and rural areas: five villages in Xincheng County have resolved woodland disputes that have lasted for many years through "basketball diplomacy"; Daxiang Village, Tongling Town, Wuxuan County, stipulates that villagers who have gambling, fighting, and other behaviors are not allowed to participate in the literary and art team, and the literary and art team performs dozens of performances in the surrounding villages and towns every year...
"Now the sound of songs and balls replaces the sound of mahjong in the past." Wei Jianhong, secretary of the party committee of Maping Town, said.
Solve the contradiction between supply and demand of public cultural services
"Due to the shallow foundation and thin foundation, the public cultural service undertakings at the grass-roots level of the guests are quite lagging behind." Mo Yuanzheng, deputy director of the Laibin Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism, said that from 2003 to 2008, the proportion of investment in public cultural services in Laibin City was less than 2% of the financial expenditure, of which the proportion of investment in rural culture was less than 10% of cultural investment. "Most of the cultural and sports facilities are dilapidated, insufficient in area, and incomplete in function, and some venues have been diverted for other purposes."
In contrast, the villagers' spiritual and cultural needs are increasing. "The guests have always loved sports, culture, art, etc., and every time basketball games, evenings and other activities are held in various places, the audience is crowded." Qin Lingling, head of the public service section of the Laibin Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, said that due to the serious lack of cultural and sports facilities in rural areas, many villagers could not participate in the activities.
In order to change this situation, Laibin City began to implement the cultural benefit project in 2008, and built a "five ones" standard public cultural service center in all administrative villages in the city, that is, to build a lighted basketball court, a literary and artistic stage, a cultural comprehensive building, and to form a peasant literary and artistic team and a peasant basketball team.
Nowadays, 724 administrative villages in Laibin City have high-standard public cultural facilities such as lighted basketball courts, literary and artistic stages, libraries, etc., and the city has set up more than 1,000 peasant basketball teams and more than 1,000 peasant literary and artistic teams, and nearly 10,000 cultural and sports competitions and literary and artistic performances are launched every year.
Engage in activities, do not look for "township chiefs" to find "presidents"
"The poor ditch must become a nest of gold and silver, there are many difficulties on the road to poverty alleviation, there is a party leader as the helmsman, and the whole people are working hard with one heart..." On the stage of Qijian Village in Tongmu Town, Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County, the town's literary and art team was performing opera, and the villagers under the stage issued bursts of applause from time to time.
Wang Lizhen, president of the Tongmu Town Literary and Art Association, said that every village in Tongmu Town has its own literary and art team, and every time it goes to the countryside to perform, all the literary and art teams rush to register. "Sometimes it can't be arranged, and some literary and art teams will complain to me."
In order to enable grass-roots public cultural services to achieve "hematopoietic function", Laibin City launched the "Ten Hundred Thousand" cultural talent training project, training 10 cultural leaders, 100 county and township grass-roots cultural backbones, and 1,000 rural literary and artistic backbones in the city every year. "These literary and artistic backbones have led the villagers to improve their literary and artistic level through going to the countryside for performances and training." Yin Ling, director of the Xiangzhou County Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, said.
The prosperity of the guests' rural cultural and sports undertakings has also benefited from the establishment of a long-term management mechanism. It is understood that the guests have innovated and implemented the management method of "village committee + cultural administrator + literary and art association + villagers' democratic participation". At present, the city has established more than 250 associations in 23 categories, and the masses are no longer looking for "township chiefs" but "presidents" to carry out cultural activities.
"Positions have been built, backbones have been cultivated, and various folk art groups have emerged, stirring up a pool of spring water like a school of fish." Mo Yuanzheng said that through the construction of the exhibition form of "municipal daily performances, county-level weekly performances, township monthly performances, and village-level quarterly performances", the "grassroots" cultural and sports teams have been able to frequently appear on the stage, and cross-village, cross-township, and cross-county cultural and sports exchanges have become the norm.
Mo Yuanzheng introduced that in the next step, Laibin City will continue to deepen the reform of public cultural services around the needs of the masses, so that the masses can enjoy more "taste- to taste" services, and promote the overall well-off with cultural well-off.
