Abstract/Summary:
As we all know, China's "wine culture" a long history. Since the reform and opening up, with China from a planned economy to a market economy changes; by the backward agricultural country to changes in industrial countries, making the rise year by year the number of alcoholics, some ethnic minorities is particularly severe alcohol dependence, the survey points A Lisu village is the typical case. Understanding of national minorities (This article refers specifically to Lisu) of alcohol that contributes to the wine to develop a reasonable policy. At the same time, contribute to health ideas-"health for all" to "human health" of the transmission and transformation.In this study, qualitative research-based, quantitative research supplemented. First use of alcohol dependence disorders identification test (AUDIT) and alcohol consumption questionnaire (Alcohol Use Questionnaire, ADS) drink regularly screened out A village people, and then using participant observation and in-depth interviews on their information collection and collation of alcohol. Study found that drinking alcohol the basic conditions for staff and their needs, emotional and cognitive and so on. Drinking alcohol from the changes to the process, social change factor acts as a "promoter" role, cultural practices are a driving force effect factor.A village for the alcohol condition, and the consequent range of health and social problems, I propose five suggestions:First, to strengthen the villagers publicity and education about the dangers of alcohol. Course of the investigation, I learned that: one in the village of high alcohol tolerance, and alcohol addiction and the resulting harm will be caused by a series of problems to the attention of serious physical and mental health is low; the other hand, frequently staged in the village The alcohol conflict, alcoholism, personal injury, death and even lead to people thinking a little bit of attention and. Generally, however, the serious dangers of alcohol awareness is not high, or did not rise up to the rational level, that is, as a major event, something critical task.Second, the enactment of the village rules, limiting alcohol too outrageous behavior. In recent years, A close neighbor of the village, most of the villages have been set up for women's group. There is a group which provides-are not allowed to spouse abuse, gambling, alcoholism and other bad behavior, or fire organizations. The group services both for the daily production has brought vitality, but also for the village is very beneficial for the rural civilization. A village can learn to develop the village rules, alcohol acts on the control of the build-up.Third, Improve villagers social level, to adapt to social change, strengthening village social and psychological line of defense. On the one hand, with the development of commodity economy, people are increasingly values diversity and ethnic minority people to accept the increasingly modern lifestyle, have contributed to the ancient custom of drinking the "modernization." On the other hand, social changes brought about a lot of stress situations, individuals can not alone be a good solution, often by means of alcohol in order to reduce the sensitivity to stressors. So the villagers to improve the educational and cultural level and social level, it becomes increasingly critical and necessary. Because people are socialized determines if people respond to various stimuli or social life, the capacity of the challenges and coping style.Fourth, change our habits. For example, in "bypass" and "Ghost Festival" and other traditional ethnic customs and ceremonies and activities, we must avoid premature children addicted to alcohol. In particular to prevent and eliminate the bad parents to their children's drinking behavior.Fifth, the rich spiritual and cultural life, to meet people's spiritual needs. "Three links" and new rural construction, said to a certain extent, the people that truly improve the conditions of material life, but one's own power to improve lives and thus be enhanced not so much this is a happy life, might as well say is an imposed sense of happiness. Today, the majority of rural people relish:"The policy is good, good policies", but this was good policy in the end it? Not afraid of people say a joke, eating subsistence allowances, food subsidies. Freeload people immersed in the happiness of so-called honey among the countries that support the lazy welfare has been quietly criticized the impact of the rural people in China. No wonder the beer and skittles be a desire. Is the so-called palliative. The original spirit of life (this refers to the person's autonomy, initiative, and creativity) to the rural poor, and now good policy can be described as fuel, the positive, progressive, spontaneous, a great honor and a spirit from the heart become a vassal of the material world and the scapegoat. Material instead of the spirit. Man why man, why is there nothing more than people who are mentally, there is most demand on the Sound of Music, has recognized the power of nature and transform nature, with self-cultivation, cultivation of noble virtues, but also has to purify, elevate the soul to the highest level. So, how to change this situation? Is nothing more than to guide people back to work to create value, labor is an inexhaustible motive force of happiness, the most glorious track work. This is the only way is the most feasible. Therefore, relevant departments of the future how the actual situation with local resources effective development, integration, utilization, and to lead people into productive investment, the scale of the layout of future development into a major key, difficult.It is noteworthy that, in the efforts to increase policy support at the same time, must take top priority of farmers set their own initiative. As Amartya Sen in his·"Development as Freedom" works said:"People must be seen to actively participate in-when they have a chance-shaping their own future, not just a passive acceptance These well-designed development program results. state and society in strengthening and protection of people's ability to have a wide range of possible important role. This is a supportive role, rather than providing the role of manufactured goods. " In other words, there is a assigned tasks, while there is a corresponding supervision and inspection mechanisms. Such complementary policies and measures to improve production and living of farmers is very beneficial initiative.
