Civilization points "accumulate" good habits of civilization
"8 points for 1 handful of noodles, 15 points for 1 bottle of peanut oil......" On the shelves of the "Civilized Practice Points Supermarket" in Lily Village, there are a dazzling array of grain, oil, non-staple foods, daily necessities, etc., and each product is only marked with the name and exchange points, and the purchase unit price is not marked.
"In February last year, our village opened a 'civilized practice points supermarket' to carry out the 'action for points and points to promote civilization' points exchange activity. The team of the village 'two committees' refines the classification and quantitative assignment from the aspects of caring for the environment, uniting the neighborhood, changing customs and customs, and carries out the 'one household, one file' point system management for the masses, assigning points once a week and ranking one month a month, so as to evaluate the points of the masses and set up star-rated civilized households. When the points reach a certain value, the masses can go to the supermarket to redeem the corresponding goods. Nong Lingshan, secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of Lily Village, introduced. It is reported that since the implementation of the village's civilization integral management work, it has effectively stimulated the masses' sense of "ownership," and the masses have taken the initiative to devote themselves to the management of village-level affairs and the construction of spiritual civilization in rural areas.
It is understood that the opening of the "Civilized Practice Points Supermarket" is a new path for Napo County to vigorously promote the change of customs and actively explore the elimination of bad habits and new trends.

"There are about 10 village rules and regulations, and I hope you will keep them in mind; patriotism, border protection, law and discipline, no smuggling, no smuggling, no protection of private interests; red and white ceremonies should be handled simply, changing customs and new fashions; major and small matters should not be arbitrary, and the masses have the final say in deliberations......"

"In the past, anyone who had a white affair in their family had to kill a cow, and some even had to kill two or three heads, and the economic burden of running a white affair was very heavy. Now, after incorporating the change of customs and the simple handling of red and white affairs into the village rules and regulations, there are fewer cattle killed, or even no cattle are killed, and everyone's economic burden has also been reduced. Tao Yaxiong, a Miao citizen in Nabu Village, said.

"Napo County has a high proportion of ethnic minorities, and all ethnic groups help each other. On the basis of respecting the traditional culture and social conditions and public opinion of all ethnic groups, we have guided each village to fully integrate the actual situation in the process of formulating village rules and agreements, so as to form 'one village, one characteristic', and continuously improve the level of good governance at the grassroots level, so that more achievements in the creation of civilization can benefit the people." Huang Guojian, member of the Standing Committee of the Napo County Party Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department, said.
