In order to strengthen the standardized management of folk belief affairs, in recent years, Xianju County has fully implemented the “one temple, one story” project, promoted excellent traditional culture, promoted the “purification and rejuvenation” of folk beliefs, and created a new mode of integrating folk beliefs into grassroots social governance.
The first is to build a “one temple, one story” and promote the quality and bidding of activity venues. In accordance with the requirements of “adapting measures to local conditions, combining unblocking, classifying guidance and standardizing management”, we will promote the rational layout of venues for folk belief activities by retaining, merging, using and dismantling. Establish a democratic management organization for folk belief activity places, standardize folk belief activities, bring folk belief affairs into the grid management of general practice, and earnestly safeguard the harmony and stability in the field of folk belief. We will carry out the “six haves” construction of folk belief activity places, such as “core values propaganda signs, story culture walls, story books, picture albums, audio and video materials, story culture lecturers, story propaganda positions and story culture propaganda activities”, so as to make it a place for the inheritance and display of traditional culture, a place for the dissemination of social moral education, and a continuation of traditional folk customs. The county has created 20 demonstration sites of “Six Owns” folk belief activities.
The second is to compile “one temple and one story” to enhance the cultural connotation of folk beliefs. Through oral instruction by enthusiasts of folk beliefs, deep excavation by researchers of folk beliefs, and reorganization and promotion of folk literature creators, the work of collecting folk belief stories in the field, collecting them extensively, digging deep into their connotations, and creating and reorganizing them will be organized to further cultivate and enhance the value, mass, vividness and artistry of folk belief stories. Through a series of activities such as telling stories, evaluating stories, drawing stories, acting stories and broadcasting stories, the good stories of folk beliefs are compiled into books, picture books, image products and other popular cultural and recreational works, and the positive energy of folk beliefs is subtly spread to the people. Published “One Temple and One Story in Xianju County”, the first edition included 35 stories about folk beliefs, and accumulated more than 80 original stories.
The third is to tell a good story about “one temple” and cultivate the endogenous mechanism of folk beliefs. Insist on integrating the positive energy of “one temple, one story” into traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and Chongyang Festival, as well as major folk belief activities, and form healthy and colorful folk beliefs and folk activities led by intangible cultural heritage projects such as the Boneless Lantern Festival in Qiantan, the Lantern Festival with Nine Lions in Zhuxi, the July 7th Temple Fair in Xigang and the Thirty-six Folklores in Anling, enriching the cultural life of the masses and creating a positive atmosphere. Give play to the moral education function of folk beliefs such as respecting morality, compassion and tolerance, form an upward and good moral and ethical force, carry forward social integrity, harmonize village relations and resolve grassroots contradictions. Support and encourage places to carry out activities such as poverty alleviation, old-age services and charity.
