Recently, a community in Nanchuan District, Chongqing issued a notice on the operation of wedding and funeral banquets, which aroused heated discussions among netizens on the day this notice was released.
In the notice, the local neighborhood committee stipulates that residents need to report 10 days in advance when holding a wedding banquet, and all other banquets are prohibited from being held indiscriminately, except for wedding banquets and banquets that handle white affairs. And just after the community issued this notice, it also sparked heated discussions among netizens. On the same night, the measure issued by the community was also stopped for rectification.
So, in the rural areas and towns of the mainland, should the trend of indiscriminate banquets that has existed in recent years be banned?
In some areas, the atmosphere of indiscriminate banquets is not formed in one or two days, this is the result of local accumulation, and the reason why the atmosphere of indiscriminate banquets has intensified in recent years is mainly because after the epidemic was released, some people began to try their best to recover the money in order to recover the favors they had sent out before. As a result, the phenomenon of indiscriminate banquets began to appear in many places.
To be honest, many places have now fallen into a vicious circle of constantly running alcohol to recover "human debts". Especially in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing and other places, the atmosphere of indiscriminate banquets in some rural areas is very serious, and if you want to completely curb the spread of this atmosphere, the key lies in the individual. If everyone can't return to the ideal, it will be difficult to curb it by policy alone, basically the village can't do it, and people will try their best to go to the hotel outside to hold a banquet. Therefore, it is difficult to prohibit this trend in a short period of time.
Therefore, I believe that while organizing the change of customs, all localities should adopt the method of restriction, rather than the practice of completely prohibiting it, and can curb the phenomenon of indiscriminate banquets by strengthening publicity and education, formulating norms and standards, strengthening supervision and promoting the concept of simplicity.
First, all regions need to strengthen publicity and education, through radio, television, newspapers and other channels, strengthen publicity and education on rural banquets, guide villagers to establish correct consumption concepts and values, and avoid blind comparison and waste. At the same time, it is also necessary to make the villagers aware of the dangers of indiscriminate banquets, and let them realize the importance of health, environmental protection and conservation.
Second, in terms of curbing indiscriminate banquets, it is necessary to standardize the scale of rural banquets and the amount of gifts, and incorporate them into the village rules and conventions to restrain them, so as to enhance the ability of villagers to resist autonomy and let everyone abide by them.
Third, give full play to the role of the Red and White Council, strengthen the supervision of rural banquets, punish and stop illegal banquets, and maintain market order and the interests of villagers. By strengthening supervision, villagers will know that indiscriminate banquets are not allowed, so as to reduce the phenomenon of indiscriminate banquets.
Fourth, all localities can also promote the concept of simplicity, through the publicity and promotion of the concept of simplicity, encourage villagers to pay attention to practicality and environmental protection when holding banquets, reduce waste and pollution, avoid large-scale operations, blind comparison, paving waste phenomenon continues to appear, so as to form a good social custom.
In short, the practice of indiscriminate banquets in rural areas must be taken seriously and brought under control, but simple and crude methods of prohibition must not be adopted. In particular, the "one-size-fits-all" approach is difficult to gain support, which is why the district was stopped that night after the notice was issued. In order to curb the continued spread of the trend of indiscriminate banquets, we can promote the work of changing customs in rural areas by strengthening publicity and education, formulating norms and standards, strengthening supervision and promoting the concept of simplicity.
At the same time, someone also needs to take the lead in guiding the villagers to resist the culture of indiscriminate banquets, so that this problem that has plagued the villagers for many years can be gradually improved. Okay, what do you think about the phenomenon of indiscriminate banquets in rural areas? Do you think it should be banned? Let's talk about it.
