Since 2020, Wenzhou has further promoted the management of folk belief affairs, adhered to the socialist core values and continued to promote the creation of “one place, one landscape, one story” of folk beliefs around the requirements of strengthening the foundation and improving the quality of folk beliefs. The city has newly created 88 demonstration sites, and each site has collected and compiled folk belief cultural legends, of which 21 sites have launched a series of excellent video works in combination with creative activities. We also commissioned professional organizations to produce exquisite videos. The main approach is:
The first is to grasp the direction of creation. Based on carrying forward the positive energy of folk beliefs, we should adhere to the requirements that folk beliefs conform to the progress of the times, embody folk characteristics and highlight local characteristics, and do a good job in guiding the creation of all links in accordance with the ideas of compiling and refining the value of the times with cultural stories, promoting environmental integration with scene transformation and upgrading, and consolidating cultural positions with excellent folk activities, and strive to create a number of demonstration folk belief activity places with cultural connotation and value of the times.
The second is to clearly create key points. Focusing on enriching the value of folk beliefs in the times, we will organize the revision and story compilation of folk beliefs, and explore the cultural connotations of intangible cultural heritage, excellent folk activities and legends and stories contained in places; Focusing on displaying the unique charm of folk belief activity places, we will repair the interior settings such as story murals and porch wood carvings that reflect excellent folk culture, and promote the interior renovation and environmental improvement of places; Focusing on giving full play to the positive effects of folk beliefs, we will support the holding of activities with excellent folk cultural stories as the main line, guide the development of traditional etiquette activities, filial piety, benevolence and civic morality education, and encourage and support charitable activities to better serve the society.
The third is to implement the creation measures. Formulate and issue the Notice on Promoting the Construction of “One Place, One Landscape, One Story” of Wenzhou Folk Belief in 2020 and the Notice on Solidly Doing a Good Job in the Creation of “One Place, One Landscape, One Story” of Folk Belief in 2020, clarify tasks and measures, decompose the creation plan and implement specific requirements. On the basis of investigation and arrangement, according to the actual situation of the places listed in the creation list, all localities will guide and determine the theme of cultural stories, landscape renovation projects, main carriers and creation time limit of each place, track the progress in a list manner, and coordinate and solve practical problems in time to ensure the effectiveness of the creation.
