As a city with a large population at the grassroots level, Linhai City has 19 towns (streets) with many places of folk belief activities and small temples and nunnery that have not been registered.
- Strengthen organizational safeguards. In 2019, on the basis of the establishment of a special working group with the director of the Folk Religion Bureau as the leader, the united front committee members of each town (street) as the deputy leader, and the cadres of the folk religion as the team members, in 2020, the work of “reducing quantity and improving quality” of folk belief activity venues will be included in the annual responsibility system assessment index, and the main leaders of the town (street) are required to personally supervise and implement the leaders and specific staff in charge to ensure that the responsibility is assigned to the person. According to the target task of reducing and merging at least 1 town (street) and improving 2 places, each town (street) is required to refine the work plan and strengthen quarterly supervision to ensure that the task can be completed with quality and quantity within the year.
2. Strengthen the grasp of the base. The Linhai Municipal Religious Affairs Bureau, together with the towns (streets) of the Religious Affairs Bureau, carried out three rounds of comprehensive surveys, actively doing a good job in the standardized management of folk belief activity sites and the registration and numbering of folk belief activity sites, to ensure that the four standards of registered sites meet the standards: first, there is a management organization, second, property rights are clear and free of disputes, third, civilized incense, and fourth, do a good job of electronic file reserves.
3. Strengthen comprehensive rectification. Taking the opportunity of Linhai City to carry out the work of creating a national civilized city, all towns (streets) are required to follow the principle of territorial management, classify and guide the detailed measures and tasks of each folk religious activity site, clarify the requirements and standards, ensure that the rectification activities achieve practical results, and promote the ecological construction and overall improvement of the religious activity sites. At present, 19 towns (streets) have completed the first comprehensive environmental improvement, and at the same time, some towns (streets) will also carry out regular inspections with departments such as fire protection, law enforcement squadrons, and food safety offices, to discover problems and rectify them within a time limit, and continuously consolidate the quality and effectiveness of folk faith activity venues.
Fourth, strengthen value mining. The Linhai Municipal Religious Affairs Bureau actively organized 19 ethnic and religious institutes to carry out the value mining work of “one temple and one story”. Through methods such as understanding the historical origins and development situation, communicating and discussing with the person in charge and villagers, effectively promote the cultural revision of key cultivation of folk belief activity sites, and compile the positive energy contained in each folk belief activity site into easy-to-understand, vivid and interesting, philosophical, and upward folk belief stories, and create folk belief activity venues to play a positive role in transmitting and promoting positive energy and promoting the construction of a harmonious society through graffiti pictures on the wall.
