There are many places for folk belief activities in Yueqing city. In 2018, Yueqing Municipal Bureau of Religious Affairs actively responded to the “One Place, One Landscape, One Story” project launched by Wenzhou Municipal Bureau at the beginning of the year, and took many measures to improve the construction of “One Place, One Landscape, One Story” for folk belief activities in our city that year.
First, strengthen attention and do a good job in organizational guarantee. Yueqing Municipal Bureau of Religious Affairs attached great importance to this work, and immediately set up a leading group headed by Zheng Xiping, the leader in charge, after receiving the documents, and incorporated this work into the assessment of townships (streets) by Yueqing Municipal Bureau. On April 23rd, Yueqing issued (Leminxin Office [2018] No.2 Document, Notice on Forwarding the Implementation Plan for Promoting the Construction of “One Place, One Landscape, One Story” Folk Belief Places by Wenzhou Municipal Bureau of Religious Affairs), requiring the main leaders of towns (streets) to personally ask about this work, implement the specific responsible leaders and specific personnel, and set up a work leading group. According to the work content and requirements, refine and formulate the work plan of “one place, one landscape, one story” in various places to ensure that the task can be completed with good quality and quantity this year.
The second is to lay a solid foundation and do a good job in software services. In order to promote the project of “one place, one landscape, one story”, Yueqing Municipal Bureau of Religious Affairs has actively done a good job in the standardized management and registration number of folk belief venues, ensuring that the registered venues: have a sound management organization; 2 clear property rights, no property disputes; Be civilized and respectful; Actively review the venues for folk belief activities that meet the requirements and do a good job in data storage. For example, on April 10th, the People’s Religious Institute of Chengdong Street conducted an on-the-spot investigation of 10 places where the registration number was suspended in 2017. Three places of folk belief activities, namely, Baihe Dadi Hall in Huangliang Village, Huangliangan in Huangliang Village and Yunmeitang in Zhuyang Village, were initially identified as Class B registration number places in 2018, and relevant departments will be audited in the near future. On April 11th, Beibaixiang Town actively organized folk belief activity places to open unit bank settlement accounts.
The third is to integrate the environment and do a good job in controlling quantity and improving quality. On the occasion of the establishment of a national civilized city in Yueqing City, Yueqing Municipal Bureau of Religious Affairs took this opportunity to ask all places of folk belief activities to refine their measures and tasks, clarify their requirements and standards, ensure the effectiveness of rectification activities, and promote the ecological construction and overall appearance of religious activities. At present, 25 townships (streets) have carried out an environmental improvement work for folk belief activity places. At the same time, some townships (streets) often go deep into some influential places to carry out major inspections together with fire fighting, law enforcement squadrons, food safety offices and other departments. When problems are found in the inspection, they will promptly issue a notice of rectification within a time limit to religious places, requiring clear-cut personnel to be responsible for the rectification, so as to ensure that the quality improvement effect of folk belief activity places is obvious.
The fourth is to visit relatives in places and do a good job in story mining… In the process of creating “one place, one landscape, one story”, places and landscapes are easy to create, and stories are difficult to tell. After understanding this problem, the bureau actively organized 25 folk religious institutes to carry out story mining. On May 2nd, Chengdong Street organized a special person to visit the Hall of Hu Gong the Great in the courtyard of Longyan Daoyuan, furong town, the window bar outside the courtyard, the honor wall in the corridor, the merit monument at the entrance of the Daoyuan, etc., so as to understand the historical origin and development of Longyan Daoyuan seriously. And communicate with the person in charge of Longyan Daoyuan, and ask about the daily management of Longyan Daoyuan in detail. At the same time, the two sides conducted in-depth discussions and studies on promoting the excellent culture of folk beliefs, exchanged needed goods, and jointly improved the image and cultural taste of the place. On May 18th, Yueqing Municipal Bureau of Religious Affairs organized more than 30 people from 25 townships (streets) to visit Taizhou to study the standardized management of folk belief activity places, and successively visited Baifengqiao Temple, Heiqi Temple and other folk belief activity places, listened carefully to the introduction of the person in charge of the places on the standardized management of places, and had in-depth exchanges with them to learn from their advanced experience and bright practices in standardized management of places.
In the next step, Yueqing Municipal Bureau of Religious Affairs will effectively promote the cultural revision of a number of key folk belief activity places through various measures, and spread the positive energy contained in each folk belief activity place by reorganizing it into folk belief stories that are easy to understand, vivid and interesting, rich in philosophy and upward-oriented, so that folk belief activity places can transmit and carry forward positive energy and play an active role in promoting the construction of a harmonious society.
