In 1978,during the drought in Anhui Province,in order to break through poverty and living difficulties,the xiaojingzhuang production team of Shannan commune in Feixi County took the lead in carrying out the policy of "contracted production to households" on September 23,which became the birthplace of contracted production to households in rural China.For more than 40 years,the ancestors and later villagers who participated in the event of contracted production and household assignment in xiaojingzhuang recalled the past and told the story to the outside through parties,celebrations and other ways.But the connotation and image of Shannan xiaojingzhuang's "contract production to household" event is not a kind of exposed nature that can be explored.To a greater extent,it depends on the participants' construction and interpretation of it and the intervention of administrative power at that time.Under the guidance of administrative power,the participants narrated a unified event of "contracted production to households" from their respective perspectives,and became a template for internal discussion,memory,external publicity and education,and finally formed a collective memory of "contracted production to households" in Shannan xiaojingzhuang.This kind of collective memory has two characteristics: sense of meaning and sense of identity.For participants in the past,watching memories and reproducing memories have become an important force to constantly prove themselves,prove villages and promote the present life.They are obsessed with the significance of this event and try to spread it out in a larger scope.The collective's pursuit of this meaning further strengthens the collective's local identity and cultural identity.In this process,both individuals and groups have gained a sense of identity,a special identity-Shannan xiaojingzhuang villagers.The distinctive cultural symbols highlighted in various celebrations to commemorate the event of "contracted production to households" reflect the cultural origin of "contracted production to households" in xiaojingzhuang and the brave and innovative actions of villagers.It conveys to the public along-standing concept of self-identity: "dare to be the first in the world".However,how to form collective memory itself is a very complex problem.It is not only the product of shaping by external forces such as history,culture and politics,but also the result of "construction" of memory subject by "initiative".Language,memorial hall,old photos,sites and other memory tools form a joint force of productive memory.In order to maintain the integrity and coherence of personal experience,even the consistency with the official unified discourse,the experiencer "constantly" transforms "and narrates the past personal experience according to the changes of social environment.At the same time,the celebration also played an important role.By performing "the old stories of the year",the past scenes were built and restored,and a special "emotion" was produced to further strengthen the social memory and social identity of the masses.Political rights unify the memory of all of us by means of media channels such as newspapers,television,radio,documentaries and so on.At last,the memory and cognition of participants,local villagers and later people about this event are unified.Xiaojingzhuang Memorial Hall in China's rural areas as a link between the past and the present,through the rearrangement of objects in time and space order,to convey the information that needs to be commemorated to people,so as to arouse the emotional resonance of participants.At the same time,the cultural spirit of "dare to be the first in the world" has been put forward and determined,which influences people's thinking and life style imperceptibly.However,due to various subjective and objective reasons,the spirit of "dare to be the first in the world" has not been well spread and affirmed,facing many difficulties.Xiaojingzhuang and its cultural spirit of "dare to be the first in the world" have gradually become a common cultural symbol in the land of Jianghuai.Xiaojingzhuang quickly walked out of
