-I like reading the Handbook of New Rural Cultural Knowledge.

China's excellent traditional culture is deeply rooted in the vast rural land, which is the spiritual achievement created by working people for thousands of years and the core of Chinese civilization. Rural culture with a long history, as the representative of China's excellent traditional culture, has formed a star-studded civilization landscape with its distinctive regional color, religious color and national color. In the new era, it is particularly necessary to inherit and carry forward excellent rural culture. Recently, I read the Handbook of New Rural Cultural Knowledge edited by my old friends Wu Qingjun and Mr. Hu Jing, and I felt a lot.

Needless to say, compared with the overall cultural level of cities, the overall cultural level of rural areas needs to be improved. In the construction of new countryside, farmers are the leading force and main force of China's modernization. While encouraging farmers to get rich, we should also make great efforts to improve their overall cultural level, enhance their self-confidence and self-motivation, and let Chinese excellent traditional culture be carried forward in the vast rural areas, thus encouraging new rural areas to build wings for economic development and cultural revitalization and fly freely in the fields of rural hope. At present, some places advocate the "reading for all" movement, suggesting that the whole society pay special attention to farmers' reading. Because the economic development and life practice in recent years show that farmers are willing to invest in getting rich information and children's education, but personal cultural reading is obviously insufficient, and even becomes a reading blind spot. The advanced nature of rural culture is not only reflected in the understanding and application of culture, but also in the inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture. Inheriting China's excellent cultural traditions, maintaining the advanced nature of rural culture and improving the cultural level of our Chinese nation are the original intention of the publication of the Handbook of New Rural Cultural Knowledge, the joint efforts of editors and the ardent expectations of the whole society.

It is a beneficial attempt for editors to stand on the height of China's excellent traditional culture, select different angles, capture the most representative cultural phenomena, show the profound and colorful rural culture, show the elegant demeanor of rural culture, and understand the significance of the countryside as the birthplace of China culture. Editors try to guide readers to understand the creativity and influence of rural culture from the perspective of literature and language; Understand the relationship between people and animals and their living environment from the perspective of harmony; From the perspective of knowledge, practicality and interest, this paper collected some couplets, proverbs and famous sayings, described many traditional festivals, myths and legends, folk stories and China people's animal complex, introduced common and representative Quyi operas in various places, and introduced representative China literary masterpieces. The Handbook of New Rural Cultural Knowledge highlights knowledge, practicality and readability, which can show the vast rural cultural world between scales, allowing readers to be influenced by culture and art and enjoy beauty while accumulating knowledge.

China's written literature originated from myths and legends and folk stories, and later developed in various names, rotten as the morning star. Folk literature is widely circulated among the people, which is an important part of Chinese national culture, the background color of national culture, and our rich and valuable ideological, spiritual and cultural resources. Because the authors of folk literature live at the bottom, they can reflect social life more widely, deeply and accurately. So folk literature is the most popular "voice" from the bottom of society. Goddess of mending the sky can deepen our knowledge and understanding of Chinese ancestors and strengthen "ancestral consciousness", "literary consciousness" and "spirit of mending the sky". Day after day, Kuafu focused on the pursuit of ancient heroes and the strange imagination of our ancestors, so as to understand the characteristics and creativity of literature. Some folk stories, such as "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" and "Conscience of Heaven", are created through people's imagination, reflecting people's life reality and desire, representing people's eternal pursuit of "goodness" and "beauty", becoming a cultural phenomenon, flashing in the ocean of poetry like pearls. Although times have changed, it is self-evident for modern people to find some distant memories, know Nu Wa, know Kuafu, and know the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Proverbs are the essence of national language, the perfect fusion of ideological content and artistic form, and a model for us to learn languages. It embodies the wisdom of working people and contains people's practical experience and lessons. At the same time, there are also thoughts on nature and society and understanding of life. As a form evolved from poetry, couplets should be said to be an advanced form of literature and the most familiar and widely used form in rural areas. It can be said that it is printed in the depths of many people's souls and is indispensable in daily life, such as wedding couplets, Spring Festival couplets and elegiac couplets. Speaking of China's Zodiac culture, as we all know, the Zodiac has left a deep impression on everyone in China, and people will accompany it all their lives. From the Chinese zodiac idioms, Chinese zodiac couplets and some Chinese zodiac stories, we can find this kind of life and death plot between man and animals, showing the development trend of harmonious coexistence between man and animals. In the order of the zodiac, it is also full of imagination and interest, which can give people enlightenment and happiness.

The book also systematically introduces the common and representative Quyi operas in various places, and introduces the representative China literary masterpieces and famous sayings as an organic part of rural culture, aiming at arousing people's interest in famous works and poems. At the same time, many people may not have gone to college and have no time to read many books, but just remembering one sentence can affect their life and even become their motto.
