Study On The Participation Of New Villagers In Rural Governance In K County In The Context Of Rural Revitalization

The report of the 20 th Party Congress clearly puts forward the need to "promote cultural self-confidence,promote cultural self-improvement and forge a new splendour of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics".At present,China is at a new stage in its history of consolidating the achievements of poverty eradication and comprehensively promoting rural revitalisation.How to effectively connect the two has become a pre-condition for seizing the development opportunity of rural revitalization and realizing Chinese-style modernization.Culture is the forerunner of rural revitalisation,and we cannot overlook the role of excellent traditional culture in promoting the awakening of villagers’ ecological awareness and creating a good rural atmosphere.How to stimulate rural culture,give it a new contemporary meaning and maintain the leading role of advanced socialist culture in rural culture is a key question that must be considered in order to build a new rural order and modernise rural governance.The culture of the village sage is an important part of traditional Chinese culture and contains a wealth of ideological and moral essence.It is not only an inheritance of Chinese culture,but also a concrete manifestation of Chinese-style modernisation,embodying the development concept of harmonising material culture and spiritual civilisation.Historically,the village sage has been involved in the governance of the countryside and has an important status and role to play,especially in ensuring the stability and prosperity of the countryside.The "Document No.1" issued by the Central Government every year and the "Strategic Plan for Rural Revitalisation(2018-2022)" issued by the General Office of the Central Government and the State Council have all proposed that promoting the return of university students and young elites to their hometowns to start their own businesses and employment is an important measure to activate the sources of talent and development channels for rural revitalisation.Therefore,the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy is a key decision to promote effective rural governance and foster rural social development.The new villagers have diversified life experiences,and their bodies are engraved with the concepts of"leaving the city" and "returning to the countryside","traditional" and "modern",and"rational"."They have high moral character and can effectively pool talents and accelerate the process of rural revitalisation.According to the research results of County K in Hebei Province,in the process of promoting the continuous development of rural governance in County K,new villagers in County K have adopted four ways to participate in rural governance: leading by individual new villagers,relying on the platform of the new villagers’ council,new villagers cooperating with the village committee,and joint governance by the Party and new villagers.Under the leadership of the new villagers,they promote the revitalization of rural industries and create a special chestnut planting industry;promote the revitalization of rural talents and implement the "6+N" model for talents;promote the revitalization of rural culture and create a culture with Manchu characteristics;promote the revitalization of rural ecology and actively explore rural tourism;and participate in the revitalization of rural organizations and create demonstration points for grass-roots party building.However,in general,there are some problems with the actual participation of new villagers in rural governance,such as the lack of capacity of new villagers themselves,the inadequacy of the mechanism of new villagers’ participation in rural governance,the difficulty of new villagers’ participation in rural governance and the lack of willingness of new villagers to participate in rural governance.Therefore,from the perspectives of polycentric theory and elite theory,this paper puts forward feasible and targeted suggestions by combining the collation and summary of field research data in K County.It is hoped that these suggestions will continue to empower new villagers to participate in rural governance in the context of rural revitalisation in the new era,and make greater contributions to rural governance and rural revitalisation.
