TitleChanges in Haiyuan: A Successful Shift in Customs
News Summary
Recently, Haiyuan County in Ningxia held a “Month of Changing Customs” event at the local cultural centre. The program combined public education with live demonstrations to tackle three problems that many rural Chinese families face: expensive bride‑price demands, social one‑upmanship, and wasteful extravagance. Organizers urged people to adopt modest wedding traditions and a more civil, caring community spirit, hoping the new attitudes would take root at the grassroots level.
The event featured:
- A showcase of the county’s “New Era Civilized Practice” model for villages
- A cooking contest called “Mom’s Fragrant Oil” that highlighted traditional flavors
- Photo and painting exhibitions about changing customs
- A display of intangible‑heritage crafts and cultural products
All of these were presented in an immersive “see‑it‑feel‑experience” style.
The county’s government has set up a three‑tier system (county‑town‑village) to oversee the effort, introduced a legal framework that “cracks down, prevents, manages, and publicizes” the harmful practices, and offered policy incentives for families who choose low or zero bride price. It also created a youth‑focused wedding brand called “Love on the Magpie Bridge – A South‑China Wedding” to celebrate simple, heartfelt unions. As a result, 44 % of marriages in Haiyuan now involve little or no bride price, and the targeted campaign has shown clear, measurable success.
Reflection and Insight
Real change at the local level often begins with small, everyday actions. A wedding that is simple yet warm eases the financial burden on families, promotes neighborly harmony, and frees people to focus on practical living and mutual support.
The Scriptures remind us that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be” (Matthew 6:21). Our relationships with one another matter more than outward show. May we increasingly value honesty, hard work, and help for our neighbors, allowing a fresh, civil spirit to become the ordinary rhythm of daily life.
