Rural Women Believe In Christianity From The Perspective Of Public Participation

In recent years,more and more researches have been done on Christianity,and the results have sprung up.The main reason which result in the phenomenon is the rapid development of Christianity since the reform and opening up.Especially in some rural areas,in the decade from 1998 to 2008,the number of Christian believers increased by 3,000 every year.The believers have spread almost all the natural villages and county communities in the townships,towns and fields of the county.More than one tenth of the total population.Why does Y County produce a "religious fever" phenomenon? According to the investigation in Y County about the phenomenon of "religious fever",The author discovered that was mainly due to the increase of rural female Christians in the county.In the process of social transformation,the rationalism of the market economy has continuously disintegrated the moral norms and ethical norms in the traditional sense.The rise of individualism has made the identity of villagers more and more determined by lifestyle and self-understanding.The system has changed,from satisfying male preferences to pursuing self-centeredness.Influenced by traditional gender and physiological factors,rural women are in a weak position in family and social division.They are set at the marginal position of rural political power structure,the demand for public participation is not satisfied,and Christianity promotes fraternity,mutual assistance and organization.The regular performance of the activity meets the needs of rural women's belonging and love.By faith in Jesus,participating in religious activities,and observance of doctrines,strengthen their communication with each other,be familiar with each others,with the same values and norms of conduct,and formed intimate relationships that have enabled them to trust each other and enhance social capital.Christianity forms a community of believers,and rural women gain recognition of their identity in Christianity.Through the construction of publicity,Christianity provides them with asense of organizational belonging and meets the needs of rural women for self-identification.The increase of rural female believers is related to the weakening of public participation.In response to such phenomena,rural grassroots organizations can build up publicity in rural area by strengthening the public participation of rural women.
