Coordinated development of rural construction and protection

Taking Duan Village as an example, we can see the obstacles encountered in the implementation of beautiful countryside construction in some places. This will help us to find loopholes in time and help us to respond positively.

First of all, it is difficult to find a perfect connection between the "construction" of beautiful countryside and the "protection" of traditional villages. Duan Village is a key construction village in beautiful countryside, Hebei Province, and also a national traditional village. Therefore, how to realize the perfect connection between "construction" and "protection" in the construction of beautiful countryside has become an unavoidable key topic in the project construction. In other words, the construction of beautiful countryside cannot be at the expense of destroying and sacrificing the traditional social resources of villages. The local people clearly know that the important reason why this village is different from other villages lies in its long history and rich traditional resources. Therefore, Duan village, when implementing the construction of beautiful countryside, weakened many original functions of beautiful countryside construction to a great extent, and only regarded it as an opportunity to increase the village infrastructure. However, copying the design concepts of cities and even foreign countries obviously cannot match the existing village appearance and actual daily life in rural areas. The antique bricks laid in the main passages in the village are rigidly stuck together with the stone houses in the area, which not only can not produce the ideal "beautiful" effect, but also is not conducive to the daily life of the villagers.

Secondly, the implementation of beautiful countryside's construction is also a process of resource allocation, and improper handling will easily lead to contradictions at the grass-roots level. For local people, the construction of beautiful countryside is not the building of a square and a passenger center, but a toilet that everyone needs in their daily life. They may not understand the true meaning of the "toilet revolution", but everyone knows the benefits that toilet renovation will bring. When the toilet renovation index cannot cover all households in the village, resource allocation naturally becomes an important factor that may cause dissatisfaction among local villagers. This kind of dissatisfaction will be reflected through the quarrel between villagers and members of the village committee, and it may also be manifested as the villagers' obstruction of beautiful countryside's construction. In addition, the whole project construction is completed by the bidding company, and they have considerable freedom to decide who will participate in the specific construction of the project. When all the construction workers come from the county where the bidding company is located, the local people will be very angry at the situation that they can't benefit from it, thus destroying or even directly obstructing it. This not only makes the construction progress of the project slow, but also makes the project in a "rework" state from time to time.

Finally, it is difficult to realize the coordinated development of beautiful countryside construction and rural tourism. The construction of beautiful countryside makes it possible to improve the village's infrastructure, health care and ecological environment, which is undoubtedly an important prerequisite for the village to develop rural tourism. It can also be seen from the development intention of the village that a model of promoting the development of the village by developing rural tourism is being copied locally. The local people clearly point the consumer groups to people living in cities, trying to create business opportunities with the help of local traditional architecture, folk culture, special food and other resources, in order to make profits in the process of space transformation. However, Duan village with limited carrying capacity is still in the primary stage of rural tourism development. Even though the government strongly advocates local people to join in the development of "farmhouse" tourism, due to various reasons such as water shortage and a large number of people going out, local people are still on the sidelines. In addition, in the government's tourism planning, Duancun is actually only a point in the whole tourist route, even if foreign tourists come to visit the village, they often stay for a short time.

Respect the dominant position of the countryside itself.

If the rural areas of China are compared to the beaches by the sea, then the "construction movement" launched against the rural areas of China is just like wave after wave. The new requirements of "prosperous industry, livable ecology, civilized rural customs, effective governance and affluent life" in the rural revitalization strategy also provide a reference standard for the construction of beautiful countryside from a higher level. Specifically, beautiful countryside construction should pay attention to the following aspects.

First, correctly handle the relationship between "development" and "protection". In the process of rural construction, blindly pursuing development while ignoring or even directly destroying the existing traditional social resources is obviously not conducive to the long-term development of the village itself, and may even lead to the pattern of "one thousand villages". Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the dialectical relationship between development and protection: development does not mean dismantling the original appearance, and protection does not mean maintaining the status quo; Rural construction and village protection are not diametrically opposed and should be combined. On the basis of respecting and protecting the existing historical and cultural resources of the village, we should further consider the construction and development of the village according to the actual situation, instead of blindly pursuing the so-called "modernization" development model, otherwise, as Victor Victor Segren predicted, "the result of modernization will create a boring sameness and mediocrity".

Second, properly handle rural governance issues and distribute village public resources fairly and justly. It would be a big mistake to regard the construction of beautiful countryside as a simple project. It involves not only the improvement of the existing appearance and the overall image of the village, but also the governance of rural society. To some extent, there is an inherent logical connection between rural construction and rural governance. In the process of intensive entry of public resources into villages, the problems of village governance may just be exposed. Therefore, when the project is contracted out, we should pay attention to the effective input of such public products, and the village itself should adhere to the principle of fairness and justice when distributing the contracted public products, considering the happiness of the villagers and avoiding repeated construction and waste of resources.

Third, adhere to the principle of public participation and highlight the villagers' dominant position. The villagers' pursuit of a better life is not only the driving force of rural social and economic development, but also the source of sustainable vitality of rural society. Therefore, whether it is the design and construction of the project or the future construction of the village, we should give full play to the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the villagers on the basis of respecting the dominant position of the village itself, and let them participate in it and become the main body of these social projects; We should consider the villagers' own needs and cognition and explore and promote rural construction in the long-term benign interaction process. In a word, we must realize that villagers are always good at using their usual thinking logic and behavior to dispel the possible influence of external intervention forces to different degrees and define the development direction of the village itself.
