Dongwu Town, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City is located in the eastern part of Ningbo City, 20 kilometers away from the urban area. The entire town covers an area of 80 square kilometers, governing 12 administrative villages, 1 community, and a permanent population of 3.More than 70000 people. Dongwu Town involves 21 ethnic groups, including Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, Uyghur, Miao, Zhuang, Manchu, Tujia, Hani, and Bai. So far, there are 2033 ethnic minority floating population and 85 registered residence population. There is a rich and brilliant Zen culture, kiln porcelain culture, silk culture, and filial piety culture in the region, with a thousand year history accumulated here and various cultures blending here. We have successively cultivated and established literary and artistic teams such as the “80 Day Troupe”, the multi-ethnic “My Orchestra”, and the Tiantong Elementary School Choir, taking music and art as the “internal driving force” for rural revitalization, achieving common prosperity among the masses, and telling stories of common prosperity through music.
Firstly, rural music classrooms gather cultural and artistic resources from multiple ethnic groups. In October 2021, Yu Feng, Vice Chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Dean of the Central Conservatory of Music, personally unveiled the first rural music classroom in China at Tiantong Old Street. Dongwu Town relies on the carrier of rural music classrooms to explore local literary and artistic talents, cultivate a “pomegranate red” preaching group with Dongwu characteristics, and create ethnic literary and artistic works. Developed under the “1+4+N” system, “1” is a group of CCTV cultural and artistic instructors who regularly offer courses, launch public welfare courses, and recruit students throughout the city. The “4” program aims to cultivate and form four local literary and artistic teams, including the “80 Day Troupe”, the Tiantong Elementary School Choir, the Dongwu Elementary School Zheng Band, and the multi-ethnic “Wu Orchestra”, to perform and promote literary and artistic performances. N “attracts members of the China Musicians Association, teachers and students of the Ningbo University Conservatory of Music, free musicians, and other musicians to settle in Old Street and create original songs such as” Tiantong Old Street “and” Dongwu Vision “.
The second is to strengthen the awareness of the Chinese national community through literary and artistic propaganda. We will carry out characteristic propaganda activities such as “literary and artistic lectures” and “courtyard lectures” in various positions, so that the awareness of the Chinese national community can be promoted and educated “into the homes of ordinary people”, and the masses can gain spiritual strength from the lectures. Uyghur Nang Cake Girl Guli and Yangyin Literature and Art Lecturers walked into the beautiful courtyard of Qinyong Village in Dongwu Town, Xinda Group Workshop, Future Village of Santang Village, and Dongwu Town Elderly Home to carry out the spirit learning and preaching activities of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, singing the future rural preaching activities, etc. The literature and art lecturers brought the song “I Love You China”, Xinjiang girl Guli combines her 10 years of work and life experience in Dongwu to talk about her thoughts, insights, feelings, and thoughts. From the perspective of her ethnic compatriots, she elaborates on her understanding of the plenary session, narrates “Our Road to Common Prosperity”, and buries the seeds of ethnic unity in every one.In the human heart.
Thirdly, music empowers the cultural and tourism industry, paving the way for rural prosperity. The New Era Civilization Practice Literature and Art Lecturer at the Central Conservatory of Music has become the “resident teacher” of Dongwu. Ningbo University has established a “university town” with Dongwu Town, and music experts from all walks of life have become partners in the revitalization of Dongwu’s rural art. They continuously promote “aesthetic education in the countryside” and expand the coverage and influence of music and art in revitalizing rural areas. In the summer of 2022, a national vocalist led by the chief musician, Theoretical Home and Qi Hong, entered the Dongwu Country Music Classroom and spread the influence of music to every person who loves literature and art. Hold the Tiantong Four Seasons Forest Concert to attract tens of thousands of viewers into the countryside, and sell local specialties of the people online and offline through the Youth Night Market. Empowering rural revitalization with music, achieve the “last mile” of material and spiritual cultural prosperity.
