Recently, a video of a village cadre in Henan Province delivering dumplings to the elderly living alone on the winter solstice has been hotly discussed on the Internet. The video shows that 5 village cadres carried dumpling boxes and sent them to the elderly's homes under the guidance of special photographers, which caused a lot of criticism from netizens and was praised as a show of wealth. This incident reflects whether the development and practice of traditional festival culture are also facing the problem of formalism.
The video shows that the whole process of delivering dumplings is quite ritualistic, and the smiles of village cadres seem to be deliberate. This approach quickly attracted fierce criticism from netizens, most of whom thought that it was a deliberate performance and show to create an image. Indeed, if there is no request from the superior to "make a show", how can anyone go out of their way to send a box of dumplings. This kind of excessively externalized ritual loses the essence of conveying true feelings in traditional festival culture, and it backfires.
The reason for this situation is that there are misunderstandings in the construction of the image of public servants in the grassroots government. Some grassroots officials regard such external ceremonies as political achievements and want to whitewash the façade by making appearances. But this kind of empty performance not only failed to move the hearts of the people, but also attracted more disgust. The government should establish a sense of service, solve practical problems in people's livelihood, and win the hearts and minds of the people with practical actions rather than illusions.
At the end of the year, I have to care about the lonely old man with a little hard traces, but fortunately, I didn't take it away after recording
Why can't formalism be eradicated, because formalism can best cope with inspection
There are more people than dumplings!in the form of a photo
This year, the leader finally did one thing, which should be recorded, [cover face] [cover face] [cover face]
This is also worrying, is the promotion of traditional culture just an empty surface? For example, sending dumplings on the winter solstice, which was originally meant to convey blessings and greetings, has now become a task to complete the process.
