Since 2015, Lishui has actively explored the management mode of Folk religion affairs, implemented classified management, and strived to achieve “reasonable layout, standardized management, orderly activities, safety and stability”. After nearly a year of hard work, certain results have been achieved. At the provincial Folk religion activity venue registration and numbering work promotion meeting held on October 21, Lishui Citizen Religious Bureau, as a unit with outstanding performance, was commended in a circular.
1、 Taking the rectification work as an opportunity to lay the foundation.
In 2014 and 2015, when the “three changes and one demolition” involved the disposal of religious illegal buildings, in accordance with the requirements of “adjusting measures to local conditions, combining dredging, classified guidance, and standardized management”, and in combination with the actual situation, a batch was demolished, a batch was merged, a batch was rebuilt, and a batch was retained. At present, there are 2718 Folk religion sites in Lishui, including 982 cultural relics sites registered in the “three popular”. The comprehensive management of Folk religion venues has been carried out solidly, which has solved the problem of too many, too disorderly and too many venues, promoted the rational layout of Folk religion venues, and laid a solid foundation for the management of Folk religion affairs in the city.
2、 Take institutional construction as the core and clarify responsibilities.
One is to establish a sound mechanism. In the name of Lishui Municipal Government, the Implementation Opinions on Strengthening the Management of Folk religion Affairs was issued, requiring all localities to incorporate the work of Folk religion into the relevant work leadership system of the Party committee and government, and to establish and improve a joint management mechanism led by the government, under the centralized management of religious affairs departments, with relevant departments performing their respective duties, with the participation of non-governmental organizations, and self-management of places. Each county (city, district) should implement their respective leaders and responsible departments. Focus on the implementation of the main responsibility of the township government (Subdistricts of China). The township government (Subdistricts of China) should specify the person in charge, determine that the social affairs management office or other relevant institutions should specifically undertake this work, implement the work force, and assign the responsibility to each person; The Villagers’committee should determine the person responsible for the work, and form a working situation in which people are in charge at all levels and people at all levels are in charge. The second is to be included in the annual assessment. At the beginning of the year, the management of Folk religion affairs was included in the annual assessment of the county (city, district) United Front Work Department, and local bureaus of civil and religious affairs were required to manage according to law. At the same time, the comprehensive management of Folk religion venues will be included in the “no violation county” creation activity, making the strict management of Folk religion venues a New normal.
3、 Taking pilot work as a guide and taking points as a guide.
In order to ensure a good start and a good start in the management of Folk religion affairs, Lishui took the lead in carrying out pilot work on Folk religion affairs management in Longquan and Jinyun County, exploring and accumulating work experience. For example, Longquan has set up a Folk religion work leading group headed by the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, issued the Opinions on Strengthening the Management of Folk religion Affairs, the Implementation Plan of Longquan Folk religion Affairs Management, and formulated a series of management systems for finance, fire protection, etc. Longquan Municipal Party Committee and Government in terms of capital and personnel security.Provide full support, agree to increase personnel in the Ministry of Civil and Religious Affairs, and arrange special funds of over 300000 yuan. At present, 226 Folk religion places in Longquan have applied for registration. On August 27, Lishui held a site meeting on the management of Folk religion activity sites in Longquan, introducing Longquan’s practices to all counties (cities, districts) and encouraging other counties (cities, districts) to speed up the work.
4、 Based on strict standards, ensure quality.
The registration number work of Folk religion places mainly focuses on three links: first, refine the access conditions of place registration number. Form a reasonable layout of Folk religion. Each region will refine the specific conditions for registration numbers based on actual conditions and propose specific requirements for each location. Written rectification opinions should be proposed for places that do not meet the requirements, with a deadline for rectification. Those who cannot meet the requirements will not be registered with a number. The second is to strictly implement the basic requirements for the management of Folk religion venues. Focus on implementing the management organization, management system, and management measures, and sort out the existing management status of the venue. It is necessary to retain the past effective management methods and measures, and develop new management methods based on new management requirements, implement new management measures, and implement standardized management. The third is to verify and approve the basic information of Folk religion venues, and ensure the quality of data input. Do a good job in collecting, proofreading, inputting, and reviewing basic data information in the registration and numbering work.
5、 Widely promote through folk activities as a platform.
