"New socialist countryside" refers to the social state of rural society based on economic development and marked by all-round social progress in a certain period under the socialist system. Mainly includes the following aspects:
The first is to develop the economy and increase income. This is the first prerequisite for building a new socialist countryside. It is necessary to improve agricultural production efficiency through industrialization means such as high yield, high efficiency, high quality characteristics and scale operation.
The second is to build villages and towns and improve the environment. Including house renovation, garbage disposal, safe water use, road improvement, village greening and so on.
The third is to expand public welfare and promote harmony. It is necessary to run compulsory education well so that all school-age children can go to school and receive basic education; Carry out the new rural cooperative medical system, so that farmers can enjoy basic public health services; It is necessary to strengthen the social security of rural old-age care and poor households; It is necessary to coordinate urban and rural employment and provide convenience for farmers to enter the city.
The fourth is to cultivate farmers and improve their quality. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization and advocate healthy and civilized social customs; Develop rural cultural facilities and enrich farmers' spiritual and cultural life; It is necessary to strengthen the construction of village-level autonomous organizations and guide farmers to actively and orderly participate in rural construction.
Specifically, the so-called "new countryside" includes five aspects, namely, new houses, new facilities, new environment, new farmers and new fashions. These five are indispensable, and together they constitute the category of socialist "new countryside". In other words, it is necessary to build houses with different ethnic and regional customs according to local conditions, and the housing construction should meet the requirements of "saving society"; Improve infrastructure construction, with roads, water and electricity, broadcasting, communications, telecommunications and other supporting facilities, so that modern rural areas can enjoy information civilization; Good ecological environment and beautiful living environment. In particular, the ability to deal with environmental sanitation should reflect the characteristics of the new era; Make farmers have the quality of modernization and become "four farmers" with ideals, culture, morality and discipline; It is necessary to change customs, advocate a scientific, civilized and rule-based outlook on life, and strengthen the construction of socialist spiritual civilization in rural areas.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee put forward the goal of building a new socialist countryside with "developed production, affluent life, civilized rural customs, clean village appearance and democratic management", which fully reflected the requirements of rural economic, political, cultural and social development under the new situation. Realizing the requirements put forward in these five sentences is the process of realizing the coordinated and all-round development of all aspects in rural areas.
-"Production development" is the material basis of the new countryside. The primary task of building a new countryside is to develop production. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, agriculture should increase the popularization and application of science and technology and realize the transformation of growth mode. In the process of adjusting the rural economic structure, on the one hand, we should coordinate the proportion of grain and other crops to ensure food security in China; On the other hand, coordinate the relationship between agriculture and non-agricultural industries. Under the condition of market economy, farmers from one household are in a weak position in market competition because of scattered production and life and invalid information. Specialized cooperative economic organizations have great advantages in leading farmers to become rich. We should encourage the development of various new economic organizations and improve agriculture.
The degree of organization of the people.
-"Well-off life is the core goal of new rural construction. To achieve the goal of a well-off society, we must do everything possible to open up various channels to increase income and increase farmers' income.
-"Civilization of rural customs" to improve the overall quality of farmers. Rural civilization is essentially a problem of rural spiritual civilization construction, including culture, customs, legal system, social security and many other aspects. Judging from our previous situation, the rural economy has developed rapidly in recent years, but the cultural life is monotonous and some bad cultures have risen. Rural cultural construction does not adapt to the coordinated development of economy and society, nor to the spiritual and cultural needs of farmers. The main problems are backward cultural infrastructure, insufficient utilization of existing resources, unsatisfactory cultural system and inadequate mechanism. Therefore, how to make the broad masses of farmers live a colorful spiritual and cultural life is an important task in the construction of new countryside.
-"Clean villages" improve farmers' living conditions. The most important requirement of "clean villages" in new rural construction is to provide better production, living and ecological conditions for rural areas.
-"management democracy", perfecting the rural grass-roots democratic self-government system is the key to realize rural management democracy.
Don't treat new rural construction as new rural construction, only pay attention to superficial things such as whether rural houses are uniform and whether roads are wide. We must never turn the construction of a new socialist countryside into a new round of large-scale demolition and construction in rural areas, and we must never unilaterally pursue "village cleanliness" or certain growth. We can't confuse the construction of new socialist countryside with urban construction. Rural areas have rural characteristics. In some places, rural construction according to the requirements of small towns is not conducive to improving rural production and life. Therefore, to build a new socialist countryside, we must focus on solving practical problems that restrict farmers' production and life, and we must grasp five "persistence" principles: First, we must persist in developing the economy and enriching farmers; Second, adhere to government guidance, with farmers as the main body; The third is to persist in highlighting key points and promoting them as a whole; Fourth, adhere to step by step to achieve practical results; Fifth, persist in resource conservation and sustainable development.
Second, the significance of building a new socialist countryside
Great changes have taken place in rural areas of China since the reform and opening up. The agricultural economy has developed rapidly, farmers' income has increased steadily, and significant progress has been made in rural party building and spiritual civilization construction. But compared with the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, there is still a big gap. Vigorously developing the construction of new socialist countryside is a new platform for doing well the work of agriculture, countryside and farmers, a new way to solve the problems of agriculture, countryside and farmers, and a new carrier to promote the greater, faster and better development of rural economy. First of all, building a new socialist countryside is an objective requirement for building a well-off society in an all-round way. Rural areas are the main areas for building a well-off society in an all-round way. Without rural stability and overall progress, there will be no stability and overall progress of the whole society; Without the well-off of farmers, there will be no well-off of the people of the whole country. To achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, the key lies in the countryside, with emphasis on the countryside and difficulties in the countryside. Building a new socialist countryside conforms to the law of economic and social development and is an objective requirement for accelerating the construction of a well-off society in an all-round way. Secondly, building a new socialist countryside is an important measure to implement Scientific Outlook on Development. Promoting the construction of a new socialist countryside, adhering to the principles of "people-oriented" and "coordinated development between urban and rural areas", taking all urban and rural residents as the basis, allowing farmers who account for the majority of the population to participate in the development process and enjoy the fruits of development, and realizing coordinated development between urban and rural areas, urbanization and industrialization, and economic and social development will surely lay a solid foundation for building a harmonious society, which is a major measure to implement Scientific Outlook on Development. Thirdly, building a new socialist countryside is a vivid practice of "Theory of Three Represents". Promoting the construction of new socialist countryside, developing agricultural economy, improving rural environment, improving farmers' quality, enriching farmers' material and cultural life, and letting farmers enjoy the fruits of economic and social development fully reflect the development requirements of our party's advanced productive forces, represent the direction of advanced culture, and realize the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of people, which is a distinctive feature of implementing Theory of Three Represents.
