New social fashion

First, respect the elderly.

Xiangcheng is famous for caring for and respecting the elderly. Young people in folk families should seek the opinions of their elders in advance. If the younger generation has something to go out, inform the elders first and take the initiative to meet them when they get home; The elders are in physical pain, and the younger generation sends medicine and soup, taking good care of them, so that the old people can have a sense of security and dependence.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people's government cared about the sufferings of the people, especially the elderly who were lonely. 1956 after agricultural co-operation, the policy of "five guarantees" (food, clothing, medical care and burial) was implemented for widows, orphans and disabled people. Each township street is responsible for the lonely elderly in its area, leading and mobilizing the masses to help each other. In the 1960s, the activity of "learning from Lei Feng and building a new style" was launched, and the good deeds of caring for lonely old people emerged one after another. From 65438 to 0988, the "Ninth Five-Year Plan Month" was held in the whole region, and sports associations and universities for the aged were established one after another, and a variety of cultural and sports activities were organized, which promoted the new social trend of respecting, respecting, loving and supporting the elderly. In September, 1995, for the elderly over 70 years old, half-price bus rides will be implemented.

Second, respect teachers.

In feudal society, the main way for ordinary people to become officials and get ahead is to study and get ahead. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu was the magistrate of Zhangzhou, advocating Confucianism, which was called "Zhuzi's excessive development" in history. Later, the Zhuzi Temple attached to the Academy became a custom. During the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was social studies in the village. Before the age of 20 every year, please list the names of students and give them to those who are knowledgeable and can be teachers. If possible, choose a date after the age of 20 to prepare for the start of school, and students say hello before the teacher teaches.

Zhang Ren's "assiduous study" has become a fashion, and it has been called "Zou Lu by the sea" since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. In this atmosphere of hard work, teachers with traditional knowledge and masters who impart skills are respected by students, apprentices and parents. It is well known to all women and children that "one day as a teacher, one life as a father". Although the disciple is a famous official in the exam, he still respects the teacher and values the road. Disciples who are good at learning will be officials. Even if they are highly skilled, they still stay at a respectful distance from others.

Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), culture and education have become increasingly popular. Especially in the 1980s, education received widespread attention from the society, and it became a common practice to respect teachers and attach importance to teaching. From 1985, September 10 is designated as Teacher's Day every year. On this day, many students visit the teacher's home. On major festivals and Teachers' Day, the activities of doing practical things for education and expressing condolences to teachers have gradually become a major part of the new social trend. Since 1992, Xiangcheng municipal government has invested in the construction of a "teachers' new village" with 25,000 square meters of teachers' housing, and purchased four buses to pick up and drop off teachers who work in the suburbs, thus solving the "three difficulties" of reimbursement for teachers' housing, riding and medical expenses, and making respecting teachers and teaching more socialized.

Third, mutual respect and help.

Since ancient times, Xiangcheng's relatives and friends have paid attention to reciprocity. People are simple and hospitable, and they are used to nodding when they meet relatives and friends. Regardless of age, all clan members should be addressed according to their seniority. In society, people usually address each other by their age, such as uncles, aunts, brothers and younger brothers.

Historically, the people attached great importance to the connection and communication of blood, kinship and geography, and had a fine tradition of loving each other. Relatives and clansmen are used to supporting each other in weddings, funerals and weddings, and are known for their irreverence, which contributes to the handling of funerals. Neighborhood, live in harmony, help each other, the family has something, and the neighbors are enthusiastic about helping each other. "A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor", and "1000 yuan to buy a fortune, 10000 yuan to buy a fortune" is regarded as the creed of neighborhood communication.

In social communication, honesty is important. In feudal society, people became bosom friends and sworn brothers, sharing weal and woe. In the late Qing Dynasty, Zhangzhou Guild Hall was built in some commercial port cities. Since the Republic of China, social development has expanded the social level, and community communication activities have gradually emerged. After the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening-up, overseas Chinese and Xiangcheng people in Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and Macau have organized a series of transnational associations, such as Chamber of Commerce, Friendship Association and Hometown Association, which have played an important role in connecting villages, enhancing friendship, helping each other and building the Sangzi civilization. With the development of material civilization and spiritual civilization. Various "associations" and "associations for the elderly" have sprung up, and social activities at all levels are very active. Schools, institutions, factories and other units and systems have held parties, dances, tea parties and other social activities, which are quite popular among young people and have formed a new social trend.

Fourth, help the poor.

Xiangcheng people are generous and have the virtue of helping the needy. Throughout the ages, the clan concept has been strong, and the traditional customs of "guiding relatives by relatives" and "helping neighbors" have lasted for a long time, regardless of industry, agriculture, soldiers and business studies. In social life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, weddings, funerals and celebrations, a family in trouble, neighbors help each other.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the voluntary social charity in Longxi County gradually flourished. Establish welfare institutions such as nursing homes, nurseries, civilian homes and medical clinics. Carry out some activities to save the world and help the poor, such as taking in lonely old people, abandoning babies, taking medicines for free clinics and providing relief food.

Fathers and brothers of clans in rural areas, who are married and buried, will help the whole town, old and young. Marriage is called "gathering blessings" and funeral is called "hanging wine". Men don't farm, women don't weave, gather in the parties' homes and do their best to help with the funeral. Even if the neighbors are far away, send representatives to attend. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the people's government developed social welfare undertakings, and the phenomenon of orphans and widows, especially natural disasters, suddenly decreased. Once in trouble, all parties will support it. Since the reform and opening up, people's material life has generally improved, and poverty alleviation in some poor areas has been fully valued by the government and society.

Fifth, advocate good deeds.

Xiangcheng has a simple folk customs and advocates good deeds for a long time. In feudal society, all those who built roads, bridges, temples and shrines were generously funded. On both sides of the mountain stream, the original roads are extremely rugged and the track and field buildings are tortuous. During the slack season, the head of Jia Township has long convened rural children to build roads in * * * areas, namely Jia Township and B Township. If there is no organization to build roads, neighboring towns and villages will despise the incompetence of the township heads, sneer at each other, curse each other, dare not talk back and learn from each other. In the past, houses were generally built on bridges, commonly known as pavilions, which could shelter from the rain in rainy days and were also places of sacrifice.

All relatives who belong to the clan name should first lend a helping hand in case of emergency, from close to distant, or contribute, or make money, without stint. Even if other counties and mainlanders live in rural areas, they will pay tribute to their relatives with the same surname and dare not neglect them. In the old society, when uncles and nephews of the same clan were bullied by different surnames, and the land of fellow villagers was occupied by other societies, they would open the doors of ancestral temples, call a clan meeting, or fight or rest and vote in public. In the case of interests, the patriarch must beg for peace on behalf of his children. If there is a dispute, we must gather the strength of the whole village to deal with each other, regardless of any sacrifice. There are dozens of surnames in the distance, so parents should be sent to mourn. So fights often happen. In the Qing dynasty, dozens of villages were connected during the war. This habit still existed in the Republic of China. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the feudal clan system was destroyed, and this trend has basically stopped except for occasional village fights.

In the 1960s, the activity of "learning from Lei Feng and building a new style" was widely carried out. In the 1980s, the activities of "five stresses, four beauties and three loves" were launched. In the 1990s, we paid more attention to the construction of spiritual civilization. New people and new things, such as laying down one's life for oneself, not looking for money and volunteering, are constantly emerging in the society. 1990 The "1 10" alarm station created by xiangcheng district Public Security Bureau made every effort to crack down on robberies and fights, solved problems for the people and set a new trend of civilization in Xiangcheng. On April 2nd, 1993, Zhangzhou Courageous Foundation was established. By the end of 1995, there were ***3 1 person in Xiangcheng District who were commended by the municipal courageous fund, 9 by the provincial courageous fund and 2 by the China courageous fund.

Sixth, family harmony.

Among the folk family members in Xiangcheng, it has always been a fashion that the father is strict and the mother is filial, the brothers and friends respect each other as guests, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious and polite. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), women in Xiangcheng got rid of the feudal bondage of husband's rights, clan rights and divine rights, enjoyed the same rights as men in social activities, and gradually formed a new trend of socialist spiritual civilization of mutual love, mutual trust, mutual respect and mutual assistance. In 1980s, under the guidance of the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, he actively advocated five good family activities. From 1980, villages and towns launched the "Five Good Families" selection campaign. By1995 * *, 27,546 "Five Good Families" had been selected. Members of the "Five Good Families" have become role models for their communities and units, and strengthened the concept of socialist spiritual civilization.
