"In the past, people used to have a bit of a comparison mentality. Holding a funeral often required setting up a table of thirty to forty and spending tens of thousands to twenty thousand yuan." Qu Dong, Secretary of the Party General Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Liudun Village, Nanqiao Town, Fengxian District, said that village officials went to the villagers through "bench night talks" to promote the concept of "thick nurturing and thin burials" and persuade everyone to change the customs of large-scale funeral arrangements. The results were very obvious. Now, the scale and expenses of funeral arrangements in the village have been reduced by about half. "Not long ago, two households not only simplified funeral arrangements, but also voluntarily joined our propaganda team.".

There are many similar changes. Starting from 2021, Fengxian District will focus on the prominent issues in current governance, guided by party building, and guide villagers to develop a concise, understandable, and practical version of the "Beautiful Agreement" through democratic procedures, achieving the goal of "using the words of the people to manage their affairs". At the same time, in conjunction with the "Harmony and Beauty Homestead", the "Beautiful Agreement" credit system will be promoted to quantify the performance of villagers and their contribution to the village collective, leading an upward and good civilized village style. "For example, if we see garbage on the roadside and take the initiative to clean it up, we can earn certain points and exchange them for daily necessities or participate in a lottery at the market," said Wu Jinfang, a villager from Liudun Village.

The reporter learned that in recent years, in order to promote rural customs and traditions, relevant municipal functional departments and agricultural areas in this city have carefully compared their work goals and key tasks, and organized and carried out various work in combination with actual conditions. The Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Office of Spiritual Civilization have widely mobilized efforts to carry out various regular and centralized propaganda work, coordinate the cultivation, practice, and creation of civilization, organize and carry out various activities such as citizen self-cultivation actions, special actions on civilized customs, and the creation of civilized villages and towns, and promote new achievements in the construction of civilized rural customs. The Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision stationed in the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, in conjunction with relevant departments of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, has incorporated work requirements into political supervision matters, conducted multiple special investigations on site, and promoted the implementation of supervision in detail. The Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, in conjunction with the pilot work of national marriage customs reform, comprehensively promotes the construction of Fengxian District as a national marriage customs reform experimental zone. The Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Commission will coordinate and promote various work related to the transformation of customs and traditions, and coordinate with various agricultural areas to innovate governance methods for the transformation of customs and traditions, continuously improving governance effectiveness. The Municipal Women's Federation, in conjunction with activities such as "Family Culture Festival" and "Searching for the Most Beautiful Family on the Sea", advocates for a new trend of family civilization that changes customs and traditions.
