Siheyuan: I am protecting Shazhu, who dares to object?

As Cui Gu Village continues to develop, the elderly in the village began to worry about the inheritance of traditional culture.

That day, several respected elders in the village found Village Chief Petrov and Technician Zhang to express their concerns.

An old man said: "Village head, our village has developed too fast in recent years. Young people are busy making money and don't pay much attention to our traditional culture. We can't throw away the things left by our ancestors."

After hearing this, Village Chief Petrov felt deeply guilty and said, "Uncle, you are right. We have been focusing on economic development and have indeed neglected the inheritance of traditional culture. Don't worry, we will find a way to solve this problem right away."

Technician Zhang also said: "Yes, traditional culture is the root of our village and we can't lose it. We can carry out some cultural activities in the village to let young people understand and learn traditional culture."

So, Village Chief Petrov and Technician Zhang decided to hold a traditional cultural festival in the village.

They organized villagers to rehearse traditional songs, dances, operas and other programs, demonstrated traditional handicraft making skills, and invited villagers and tourists from surrounding villages to participate.

During the preparation process, the young people were not very active at the beginning.

A young man said: "What's the point of these antiques? It's better to make more money."

After hearing this, Village Chief Petrov said earnestly: "Young people, you can't think like that. The traditional culture of our village is our precious wealth and our roots. If we lose all of it, then our village will lose its characteristics and appeal."

Technician Zhang also said: "Yes, think about it, if there were no traditional handicrafts and folk culture in our village, would those tourists still come to our village? Would our tourism projects still be so popular?"

After listening to the words of the village chief and technicians, the young people fell into deep thought.

A young girl said: "Village head, technician Zhang, you are right. We cannot forget our roots, and we are willing to participate in the activities of the traditional cultural festival."

Other young people also expressed their willingness to participate.

So, everyone began to actively rehearse the program and prepare exhibits.

On the day of the Traditional Culture Festival, the village was extremely lively.

Villagers and tourists gathered in the village square to watch wonderful performances and appreciate exquisite handicrafts.

A tourist watched the traditional song and dance performance on the stage and exclaimed: "This show is so wonderful. I didn't expect your village has such a profound cultural heritage."

Another tourist was attracted by a piece of wood carving when visiting the handicraft exhibition. He said: "This wood carving is so exquisite. I must buy it back as a souvenir."

Seeing the tourists' love for traditional culture, the villagers' hearts are filled with pride.

Young people also deeply felt the charm of traditional culture during the activities, and they began to actively learn and inherit traditional culture.

Village Chief Petrov said to Technician Zhang: "Technician Zhang, this traditional culture festival is really well organized. It not only allows tourists to better understand our village, but also allows young people to re-understand traditional culture."

Technician Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, village chief. We must continue to hold the traditional culture festival and let the traditional culture be passed down from generation to generation in our village."

After the successful holding of the traditional cultural festival, Cuigu Village has become more well-known.

More and more tourists come here not only to experience rural life and tourism projects, but also to feel the unique traditional culture of Cui Gu Village.

In order to better inherit and develop traditional culture, Cui Gu Village has also established a traditional cultural inheritance group.

The old artists in the village serve as teachers, teaching young people traditional handicraft making skills, singing, dancing, opera, etc.

An old artist said to the young people: "Children, these traditional skills are our treasures. You must study them well and pass them on."

The young people said earnestly: "Teacher, don't worry, we will study hard and carry forward the traditional culture of our village."

At the same time, Cui Gu Village also protected and restored the village’s historical and cultural relics.

They have further repaired and protected the old houses, murals, etc., so that these historical and cultural relics can be better displayed to tourists.

At a village meeting, village chief Petrov said: "The development of our village is inseparable from the support of traditional culture. While developing the economy, we must pay more attention to the inheritance and development of traditional culture. Only in this way can our village go further and develop better."
