Students from Xiangtan University went to the countryside three times: looking for the ancient Dong village customs and promoting the development of rural tourism

China Youth Network, Huaihua, August 14 (Correspondent Zhou Jia) Recently, the Xiangtan University Rural Revitalization Strategy Research Team went to Tongtong County for a summer social practice group and came to the ancient Dong village of Taro Village, Shuangjiang Town, Tongtong Dong Autonomous County , conducted a questionnaire survey on the impact and opinions of poverty alleviation on the lives of local villagers in the context of rural revitalization, and made a specific analysis based on the survey results and current situation.

The ancient Dong village of Taro is located in Taro Village, 9 kilometers southwest of Tongdong County. It was founded in 1368 during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of 642 years. The residential buildings of the ancient Dong village in Taro are mainly "rail-style" stilted buildings, which are laid out along the mountains and valleys according to the local situation, forming a unique "ridge-type" and "valley-type" layout pattern, which is also cleverly integrated with the external environment. It constitutes the special style of the Dong Village and has preserved a large number of buildings before the mid-Qing Dynasty, such as the famous Yuanlong Bridge, Yashang Drum Tower, 1.6 kilometers long ancient post road, Longmen, Changshou Well, and Sasui Altar. There are many festivals in the Taro Dong Village, such as Weiye activities, Sacrifice, Spring Cow Festival, fish pond grabbing competition, etc., all of which fully reflect the lifestyle of the Dong people.

? Walking into the Taro Dong Village, the well-proportioned Diaojiaolou of the Dong Village complements the valley and rivers. There are mountains and rocks in the distance, and a winding path is paved towards us. On the morning of August 11, five members of the social practice group came to the Shuangjiangzhengyutou Village Committee and asked the secretary of Taro Village about the basic poverty alleviation situation and current situation of the village. Relevant personnel said that in order to promote the development of the local economy and help rural women find employment, Taro Village introduced plantations through land leasing. On the one hand, it can "turn waste into treasure" and distribute dividends evenly by collecting land rental fees; on the other hand, the orchard's demand for garden guards has also driven the employment of nearby farmers, and the orchard can sell according to the market during harvest. Earn commissions based on the market prices and profits obtained. The land transfer time is April every year, and the agreement period is five years. Every five years, the agreement will make relevant adjustments based on the orchard's profitability and determine whether to continue the lease. The secretary said in particular: "Our yellow peaches here sell for ten yuan a pound, and no one else thinks they are expensive. Many people come here to buy the yellow peaches we produce here. We let them taste it when we sell it." mouth". He also joked: "If it doesn't taste good, it doesn't cost money." We looked at the secretary's confidence and joy about the harvest in the village, and the members of the practice group also laughed happily.

We learned that in addition to plantations, Taro Village has also set up many poverty alleviation workshops - clothing manufacturing, fake flower production, and sold local seedlings to other places through closing mountains for afforestation and seedling cultivation. The secretary mentioned that seedlings have been planted in Taro Village for more than 30 years. In the past, because transportation was difficult to connect with other places, local sales were not optimistic, and supply exceeded demand. Many seedlings would be dried and burned by farmers. However, with the development of information transportation, the village's nursery industry has ignited a spark again. Through the good momentum of seedling price revenue this year and the solution to the problem of sales channels (sales to Jiangxi, Guilin and other places through mobile payment), it is speculated that the seedling industry in Taro Village will continue to develop. Taro Village has also organized the export of labor services this year, and will also provide benefits to villagers during the holidays - rice and oil during the Spring Festival. He also said that the poverty alleviation project has provided great help to Taro Village in recent years. The practice group believes that under the correct leadership of village cadres who always think about the people, and the joint efforts of the village leaders, it will definitely add new vitality to the development of Taro Village.

? Then the seven-member practice group printed the paper questionnaires, distributed them evenly, and went to Taro Village to conduct on-site questionnaire surveys. The content of the questionnaire is roughly divided into two aspects: 1. The current situation and impact of local tourism and your own attitude towards it. 2. Prospects and opinions on tourism development in Taro Village. Through about 30 questionnaires distributed, it is known that many people have a supportive attitude towards local tourism development and believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Tourism has increased local income, provided employment opportunities, and brought in part of the floating population. The government's attention has improved the infrastructure and raised the local popularity through external publicity, but at the same time it will inevitably attract dissatisfaction with local residents. have a certain impact on the living environment. Many people hope that rural revitalization can provide more convenience in medical security and information networks. They also believe that the biggest factors affecting local economic development are the lack of young labor force and inconvenient transportation. It is hoped that future development can combine modern agriculture with the tertiary industry, and that young people can return to their hometowns to drive development and help improve rural living standards.
