Do you know of any bad habits that are still common in rural areas?

The first bad habit: the sky-price bride price

Bride price is an indispensable part of the marriage customs of Chinese men and women. Since ancient times, the marriage process, there is bound to be bride price. But I do not know from when onwards, the traditional customs of the bride price has been completely tasteless, become a small number of people enrichment tool. Nowadays, the bride price wind in the countryside more and more intense, after a few suppression, still no sign of improvement.

Rural older youth marriage difficult, the root cause is their own income is limited, the family conditions are generally unable to meet the woman has a house and a car but also the bride price requirements. In today's society, a rural man to get married, must be in the city to buy real estate, to have their own cars, at least before the wedding to give a large sum of money as a bride price. "Ten thousand purples and thousands of red a green", "one in ten thousand", etc., sounds very good saying, in fact, behind are hundreds of thousands of dowry money. If you can't get it, you can't get married. This disgusting bride price wind, has become the biggest rural bad habits. If it cannot be controlled, it will affect a large number of young people's marriage problems. The difficulty of marriage for older youths will eventually affect the stability of the whole society and the growth of the population, which is a huge potential crisis.

The second bad habit: fancy money

In the Chinese nation, marriage and funeral, catching the week to do birthday, children's school exams, home into the house, all to invite friends and relatives to the party. As a state of etiquette, to people to be a guest naturally can not be empty-handed, to be out of a favor package a red envelope. This is a common sense, but also the process of social interaction must do a thing. But with the improvement of the rural economic conditions, the red packets of the custom of money more and more intense, has been completely detached from the original appearance, become part of the people enrichment tool.

I have heard people say, some people in order to find ways to treat dinner, so that others pay red packets, even the family old sow gave birth to 10 piglets, have to notify friends and relatives to come to watch. In fact, such things are endless in the countryside, and the excuses are full of tricks, the purpose is only to ask for a red envelope. What's more, the price of the red packet is rising higher and higher, in the past 50 to 100 even if it is good, now 500 to 1,000 to be able to take the hand.

A farmer's income from a year's hard work at home is not enough to cover the cost of a red packet. In my own family, I have to spend at least 30,000 yuan a year on favors. This makes farmers suffer, but there is no good solution. If we don't change this bad habit, it will only make life harder for farmers.

The third bad habit: throwing away piles of garbage

Currently, many cities have begun to pilot the classification of garbage as a way to reduce environmental pollution. However, in rural areas, agricultural production and life in the garbage pollution is very serious, the phenomenon of randomly discarded garbage is very common. Although some rural villages have carried out targeted recycling of garbage and placed garbage cans on the main roads in the villages, many villagers still don't take it seriously, and they still throw away their own garbage everywhere.

We used to have two small rivers in the village with crystal clear water, and the villagers washed their clothes and washed rice in the rivers. Nowadays, the rivers are nearly dry, and the sides of the rivers are covered with all kinds of garbage. There are plastic bags filled with pesticides and herbicides, women's sanitary napkins, empty wine bottles thrown away after drinking, food scraps and human and animal excreta ...... If we can't clean up the rural household garbage in a timely manner and can't plan for the rural sewers, it's impossible for the countryside to realize green mountains and green water in the future, and the pollution will only become more serious. The bad habit of littering must be changed, and only in this way can they live in a better environment.

The fourth bad habit: the ubiquitous comparison

People are a separate entity, and a part of the whole society. In the relatively closed and traditional social structure of the countryside, villagers can get along harmoniously and amicably, but also quarrel and fight over trivial matters. Of course, the more important issue is that everyone's concepts are basically the same, and they are all on the same cognitive level. Why do many people miss the warm scenes in the rural areas in the past when families helped each other and were friendly and united, and wonder about the contradictory situation in the countryside today?

It is because in the past the countryside was very poor, every family was more or less the same, no one was better than the other, no one was worse than the other. In the case of all people's wealth status and living conditions are more or less the same, the heart of comparison naturally faded. However, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the rural economy and society have undergone radical changes, some people got rich first, and some people are still poor. This gap between the rich and the poor polarization makes some people red in the face, which also leads to the wind of comparison more and more serious. When the east family builds a beautiful house, the west family will build a new house even if they have no money and go into debt. The first time I saw a car, I couldn't afford to be left behind.

The trend of rural comparison is becoming more and more serious, and has permeated all aspects of social life. If we can't reverse this bad habit and unhealthy trend in time, the farmers' hard-earned money will be spent on some meaningless comparisons, and there will be no happy life to speak of.

All in all, whether it is the sky-rocketing bride price or fancy red packets of money, or involved in rural living conditions of the phenomenon of garbage littering and the wind of comparison, are very important in rural areas of the 4 bad habits, if you can not change in a timely manner, farmers in the future construction of a new countryside will be even more burdensome task, the people of the day is not easy to live.
