(a friendly basketball match resolved the historical contradiction between Huang Lue village and Wenche village.) People in huanglue village, Suixi County, Zhanjiang City still often talk about the basketball match held during the Spring Festival in 2019. At that time, Huang Lue village invited Wenche village, the "old enemy" of that year, to participate in it. This is the first time in 30 or 40 years that the two villages have carried out "official" exchange activities between villages. A basketball friendly match witnessed the resolution of historical contradictions, and the two villages laughed and died of gratitude and hatred. Huang Lue village and Wenche village are an epitome of the construction of rural civilization in Guangdong. In recent years, with the in-depth promotion of the Rural Revitalization Strategy, more and more villages in Guangdong, especially a large number of former problem villages and weak and lax villages, have achieved from chaos to governance, and become local model villages and model villages. In the process of the transformation of rural civilization in huanglue village, both government departments, grass-roots party organizations, villagers' Councils and township sages have promoted it in many ways, and it is also inseparable from the support of township regulations and civil conventions based on traditional culture. In the past, taxis dared not enter Modern city level civilized village "If there is no peace in huanglue village, there will be no peace in Zhanjiang." In the 1990s, there were such rumors among the people in Zhanjiang. At that time, Huang Lue village and its neighboring villages continued to have large-scale armed battles. In the early 1990s, due to the continuous friction between the villagers of the two villages doing business outside and even the accumulated difficulties, Huang Lue village and the nearby Wenche village broke out in two fierce conflicts, which caused a sensation in Zhanjiang for a time. In addition, a few years ago, drug abuse, gambling, fighting, theft and robbery and other public security cases also occurred frequently in huanglue village. Wang Guangshao, President of the huanglue village public affairs association, recalled, "taxi drivers didn't dare to pick up when they heard that they were going to huanglue village." "The situation is much better now", many villagers summed up this way compared with the past. Nowadays, cars shuttle back and forth in the street. Under the big tree, old people often get together to chat and drink tea. Cooked food mobile cars and fruit stalls stop along the street, filled with a peaceful atmosphere of fireworks everywhere. Some villagers believe that the social environment of huanglue village has significantly improved, and the celebration six years ago is a sign. In December 2016, huanglue village held the Millennium celebration of huanglue village. At the celebration, the traditional culture base of huanglue village was officially listed, and a forum on traditional culture and grass-roots development and a new artistic evening were also held. The long history has condensed the hearts of the people, and the village atmosphere has changed significantly. In February, 2017, a local villager suffered a gas explosion at his home. After the disaster, the villagers donated a total of more than 400000 yuan to help. The change of village atmosphere cannot be separated from the effective governance of government departments. In recent years, with the in-depth promotion of the construction of Zhanjiang national drug control project and the normalization of the eradication of underworld and evil, the social security of huanglue village has continued to develop well, and the villagers' sense of security and happiness have been improved. Now huanglue village has completed the butterfly transformation, from the former "problem village" to the "advanced village" of rural civilization. According to the 2021 government work report of huanglue Town, its six administrative villages were rated as municipal civilized villages. As night fell, the cultural service center in the village was bustling with people sitting in front of the electronic organ to practice playing; Children who don't come home from school come to the library with schoolbags to do homework and read books; In front of the ancestral hall, women in uniform danced square dance to dynamic music; On the stage of the village cultural building, Lei opera actors in costumes perform the traditional culture of Zhanjiang, and their melodious singing cuts through the night sky and spreads to the distance "Huang Lue password" for the construction of rural civilization In addition to the effective governance of government departments, the power of the Village Council and traditional culture cannot be ignored. In 2005, under the guidance of the local Party committee and government, huanglue village established a village affairs council. Huanglue village is mainly inhabited by Wang people, and the villagers of the six administrative villages have a greater sense of identity with nature village. In that year, the drug abuse problem in huanglue village was serious, and the number of drug abusers reached more than 500 at most. After the establishment of the village council, the villagers' public security team was established to actively cooperate with the public security organ to crack down on drug abuse. The results were very obvious. The members of the villagers' public security team also successfully arrested suspected drug-related personnel and received a letter of praise from the police station. "The village council has opened the gap between administrative villages and become an effective channel to mediate internal and external contradictions in villages." Wang Yuexiang, Secretary of the Nanxin village Party branch under Huang Lue village, said. Huang Lue Village Council also attaches great importance to the continuation of the tradition of "respecting teachers and valuing education". In 2005, under the organization of the village council, the villagers donated to establish the education foundation. In 2017, huanglue Village Education Foundation innovated the financing method, with a 10-year cycle, and the donors registered and promised the 10-year donation intention to the foundation and determined the annual donation amount. After the initiative was launched, a total of 17 villagers and relatives pledged nearly 7million yuan. In 2018 alone, 102 excellent students, 4 excellent principals and 46 excellent teachers in huanglue village won awards. Wang Guangshao told reporters, "the award-winning students have set an example for the children in the village, and gradually the villagers are paying more and more attention to education." In addition, Huang Lue village extracted the eight characters of "Yan Shi Jiao Zi, Shi Shu Chuan Jia" from the Wang family motto as the ancestral motto, and taught the ancestral motto to the villagers, especially the children in the village, by formulating Township regulations and people's covenants. Nowadays, the booklet of "township regulations and people's covenants" has become a compulsory course for local primary school students, and the concepts of respecting the old and loving the young, respecting righteousness and keeping promises, and being diligent and thrifty are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In July, 2018, the former Village Council of huanglue village was renamed "huanglue village public affairs Federation", and applied to the civil affairs department for registration, becoming the first registered natural village council in the county. Its business scope includes public construction, village appearance transformation, folk cultural activities, public security management and other comprehensive village affairs. Expert advice: Make use of traditional culture to do a good job in grass-roots governance In Guangdong, many villages have strong internal cohesion, and some long-term formed values are of positive significance to social development. Some capable people and villagers in the villages also play an important role in giving back to their hometown. In the view of Liu Yiqiang, Dean of the Institute of overseas Chinese township governance and Rural Revitalization of Jinan University, the local elites in Guangdong have a strong culture. The local elites are familiar with the traditional rural values and operation logic, and have rich knowledge, skills and vision. They have made positive contributions to the public affairs of villages and are an important force in rural governance. In the context of the Rural Revitalization Strategy, many township leaders responded to the call to return to the village, which has played an increasingly prominent role in the development of the village. The provincial Party committee and the provincial government issued the strategic plan for the implementation of Rural Revitalization in Guangdong Province (2018-2022), which also proposed to actively play the role of Xinxiang. In recent years, Guangdong has innovated social governance mechanisms, explored governance models such as villagers' Councils, village affairs supervision, and community deliberations under the leadership of the party, and cultivated, supported, and guided multiple subjects to participate in social governance. Its essence is to give full play to the main role of the people, give full play to their strength, and solve internal contradictions among the people, rather than the government. According to Ma Hua, executive director of the Rural Revitalization Institute of Shanxi University, whether it is grass-roots governance or the construction of rural civilization, we should give full play to the main role of villagers, stimulate the endogenous motivation of villagers' participation, and avoid the situation of "the government is doing, and the villagers are watching". Reporter's notes Visible "butterfly change" Huang Lue village has a large area and a large population. It is not easy for a village of this size to go from chaos to governance. The village affairs council is a powerful tool for the transformation of Huang Lue village. On the basis of absorbing the essence of traditional culture, it adheres to do a good job in grass-roots governance under the leadership of the party, develop education, resolve disputes, attract villagers to give back to their hometown, and promote the construction of rural civilization. The case of huanglue village proves that the construction of rural civilization and grass-roots governance complement each other. If the grass-roots governance is done well, the rural style and civilization will naturally gradually improve; A good rural civilization will, in turn, promote grass-roots governance. The "butterfly transformation" of huanglue village has also made the implementation of rural civilization a good project for the benefit of the people. The village has built a cultural square, a sports square, and a considerable area of parks. The villagers have a public space for entertainment, exercise and communication; Each administrative village has a book reading room, with different types of books, including practical agricultural books and literary books for people to cultivate their sentiment; When the weather was sunny, the old people sat around the big tree and laughed. When the reporter interviewed, an old woman with silver hair walked next to the reporter, looked at a document in the reporter's hand, stopped and read it aloud. (Xinhua News Agency)
