Why is Liangshan "squatting on the ground" as a bad habit?

According to media reports, some areas of Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, recently conveyed the spirit of the "Notice on the Governance of Squatting Dining and Deepening the Wind" document. Among them, the "completely changing the bad habits such as sitting on the ground and squatting on the ground" caused a large response on the Internet and became the focus of questioning netizens.

The questions that netizens questioned, summarized a few: First, what posture to dine is personal freedom, even if it is not prohibited, it is not appropriate; second, why is it a bad habit to say that squatting on the ground? There are also popular science articles that squatting dining is conducive to health. "Etiquette", don't you understand this truth?

However, netizens who asked questions may not understand the local situation of Liangshan. To understand these issues, the core is why squatting dine is considered a bad habit in Liangshan.

In fact, in Liangshan, squatting dining is not only a literally dining posture, but a group of aggregate dining methods that are specific, unhealthy, unhygienic, and do not pay attention to the surrounding dining environment. The main manifestations are: tableware is mainly plastic basin, placed directly on the ground (regardless of the ground condition) after meals; the number of diners is large; diners squat (or sit) on the ground; It is a series of unhygienic methods such as drinking soup in public vegetable basins.

Because its external manifestations are eaten by everyone squatting (sitting), the local unhygienic meal method is simplified into "squatting to eat".

It can be seen that Liangshan has its clear definition restrictions on squatting dining. More importantly, this way of dining is a common phenomenon, not an individual phenomenon, so it is called a bad habit. However, there are factors such as psychological, habits, and customs change. Therefore, it is necessary to form a propaganda momentum, to form a public opinion environment for changing customs, and advocate that some people can first change it.

At the beginning of this year, Liangshan Prefecture issued the "Regulations on the Migration of the Customs and Customs of the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture" in response to many bad habits, including civilized and healthy dining methods. In other words, changing the relevant method of dining has become part of the local regulations (Liangshan Prefecture has local legislative power). The implementation of this regulation is originally the legal duties of the party committees and governments of the counties and cities in the region.

In this regulation, in addition to referring to the unhealthy and unhygienic way of dining, it also includes the content of sky -high prices, dolls, marriage and funeral operations, other sanitary habits, environmental governance, etc. Squatting dining is just one of them. And this time, the "Notice on the Deepening of Create and Wind" is the in -depth implementation of the Regulations.

Liangshan is the decisive battle of my country's poverty alleviation, and it is an area where absolute poverty is eliminated. For decades, the cadres and the masses here have worked hard and paid for their imagination in order to get rid of poverty. In the past few years, more than 30 people in Liangshan died on the road of poverty alleviation. Pointing out the problem in poverty alleviation is a good thing, but if you question the effectiveness of local poverty alleviation, it is very inappropriate.

It is precisely to consolidate the results of poverty alleviation, and in the case of "Cangxian", it guides the masses to "know the etiquette", and the local scars are exposed, revealing their ugliness, and bravely challenging some deep -rooted bad habits. Therefore, in my opinion, Liangshan's propaganda and civilization advocacy of Liangshan has a very positive role in promoting local moving customs and helping villagers and helping villagers to establish a healthy life concept of health.
