It is necessary to thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping's cultural thought, vigorously promote the advanced ancestral hall culture, enrich the social function and cultural connotation of the ancestral hall, and strive to build the ancestral hall into an important position for disseminating the excellent traditional Chinese culture. It is necessary to further do a good job in the protection, inheritance and activation of the ancestral hall, take the opportunity of creating a new era of civilization practice point in the ancestral hall, give full play to the function and role of the ancestral hall, show new achievements in the promotion of rural customs and civilization, empower rural revitalization and grassroots governance, and achieve new breakthroughs. It is necessary to rely on existing resources, combine major themes, important festivals and important festival activities of "ancestral halls", and carry out a series of activities of "ancestral hall + culture" in a diversified and normalized manner, so as to make it a frontline for publicizing the masses, serving the masses, uniting the masses and guiding the masses.
Since April this year, the Propaganda Department of the county party committee has taken the lead in the county to carry out the work of creating ancestral halls as the practice point of civilization in the new era, closely focusing on the positive guiding role of ancestral halls, highlighting the "1+8+N" model of ancestral halls, and taking "ancestral hall + culture", "ancestral hall + civilization" and "ancestral hall + governance" as the guide, and strive to build the 2.0 version of the activation and utilization of ancestral halls in our county. Up to now, all towns (streets) in the county have completed the pilot construction of 1 ancestral hall in the new era of civilization practice, and the next stage will take the pilot ancestral hall construction as a template to continue to vigorously promote the first batch of ancestral hall listing work and create a brand of ancestral hall activation and utilization in our county.
