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

In Cuigu Village, the successful creation of the rural cultural brand has immersed the entire village in joy, but Wang Dashan is not dazzled by the achievements in front of him.

He knows very well that on the road to development, every progress is accompanied by new challenges, and these challenges are like reefs hidden beneath the calm lake surface, which may cause the ship to run aground at any time.

In the early morning, before the sun had completely dispelled the mist, Wang Dashan was already standing in his yard.

He took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of earth, feeling the familiar and friendly breath.

The old locust tree in the yard swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling the story of the years.

Xiulan came out of the house with a bowl of steaming corn porridge and a few golden steamed buns in her hand.

"Dashan, eat it while it's hot. We have a lot of things to do today."

There was concern in Xiulan's voice as she placed the porridge and steamed buns on the stone table in the yard.

Wang Dashan took the porridge, took a sip, and nodded, "Yes, life is getting better and better, but there are more and more things to worry about. Yesterday, someone from the cultural heritage group told me that although our cultural products are selling well, the production process is not sophisticated enough, and some tourists reported that there is still room for improvement in quality."

Xiulan frowned and said worriedly, "What should we do? We have finally opened up the market, and we can't let the quality problems ruin our reputation."

Wang Dashan put down the bowl, thought for a moment and said, "I plan to go to the cultural product production workshop today and have a good discussion with the craftsmen on how to improve the craftsmanship. By the way, I will organize another training so that everyone can master more sophisticated production techniques."

After breakfast, Wang Dashan rode his half-worn 28-inch bicycle along the winding country road to the cultural product production workshop.

Along the way, he looked at the green crops on both sides of the road, his heart filled with love and responsibility for this land.

He knows that the development of Cui Gu Village is not only economic growth, but also the inheritance and promotion of culture, and the quality of cultural products is the village's business card.

When we arrived at the workshop, the craftsmen had already started working.

Wang Dashan walked into the workshop and saw a master craftsman who was concentrating on making weaving handicrafts. His fingers flexibly moved between the silk threads, and his movements were skillful and smooth.

Wang Dashan walked up and patted the old master's shoulder gently.

"Master Li, your craftsmanship is becoming more and more sophisticated."

Wang Dashan said with a smile.

Master Li looked up and saw that it was Wang Dashan. He quickly put down his work and said with a smile, "Secretary Wang, you are here. This is all about practice makes perfect. I have been doing this for a lifetime, so how can I not be skilled?"

Wang Dashan pulled a stool over and sat next to Master Li. He said seriously, "Master Li, I came here today to discuss something with you. Our cultural products are selling well, but some tourists have reported that the craftsmanship is not sophisticated enough and there is room for improvement in quality. You are the master of our workshop. How do you think we should improve it?"

Master Li pondered for a moment and said, "Secretary Wang, I think if we want to improve the level of craftsmanship, we must first let everyone have a deeper understanding of traditional crafts. Some young people nowadays are also doing these jobs, but they have not mastered the essence of traditional crafts. We can invite some old artists to tell everyone about the history and cultural connotation of traditional crafts, so that when everyone is making them, they are not only completing a product, but also passing on a culture."

After hearing this, Wang Dashan nodded repeatedly: "Master Li, you are absolutely right. Cultural inheritance is not only about making products, but also about inheriting the connotation of culture. Also, in terms of production technology, are there any specific ways to improve it?"

Master Li pointed to the woven crafts on the table and said, "Look, take weaving for example. The stitches we use now are relatively simple. In fact, there are many kinds of stitches in traditional weaving, and each stitch has its own unique effect. We can organize everyone to learn these different stitches and choose the appropriate stitch according to different product requirements. The products made in this way will definitely be more refined."

Wang Dashan listened carefully and took notes in his notebook from time to time.

He also communicated with other craftsmen and collected a lot of valuable suggestions.

After leaving the workshop, Wang Dashan decided to immediately organize a training session on cultural product production techniques.

He returned to the village office and called a meeting with members of the cultural heritage group and craftsmen from the workshop.

At the meeting, Wang Dashan told everyone what he had learned in the workshop today, and then proposed the idea of ​​organizing training.

"Fellow villagers, our cultural products now have a market, which is a good thing. But we cannot be satisfied with this. If we want our cultural brand to go further, we must improve the quality of our products. Therefore, I plan to invite cultural experts and veteran artists in the county to give everyone a training session to learn more sophisticated production techniques and the cultural connotations of traditional crafts. Do you have any opinions?"

Wang Dashan looked at everyone, his eyes full of anticipation.

Everyone agreed. A young craftsman stood up and said, "Secretary Wang, I think this is a great idea. I have always wanted to learn more about traditional crafts, but I just didn't have the opportunity. This time, there are experts and veteran artists to guide me, and I will definitely study hard."

After the meeting, Wang Dashan immediately began to contact cultural experts and veteran artists in the county.

After some effort, we finally invited several experts and veteran artists who are quite accomplished in the field of traditional crafts.

On the day of the training, the village office was full of people.

Experts and veteran artists explained in detail the history, cultural connotations and various sophisticated production techniques of traditional crafts.

The craftsmen listened attentively and asked questions from time to time.

Wang Dashan was also sitting below, taking notes seriously.

After the training, the craftsmen returned to the workshop and began to produce according to the newly learned techniques.

Wang Dashan goes to the workshop every day to check the production progress and solve problems encountered in a timely manner.

Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the craftsmanship of cultural products has been significantly improved.

However, just as the quality of cultural products was gradually improving, some counterfeits of Cuigu Village's cultural products appeared on the market.

These fakes are not only of poor quality but also cheap, which has seriously affected the reputation and market sales of Cuigu Village's cultural products.

When Wang Dashan heard the news, he was extremely anxious.

He immediately organized a team to investigate and found that these counterfeit goods mainly came from some small workshops in neighboring villages.

In pursuit of profits, these small workshops copied the cultural product designs of Cuigu Village, used inferior materials to produce them, and then sold them on the market at low prices.

Wang Dashan decided to take action to protect the rights and interests of Cui Gu Village’s cultural products.

He brought several representatives from the village to the village committee of a neighboring village to communicate with the village cadres of the neighboring village.

"Hello, Secretary Zhang! We are here to discuss something with you. Recently, there have been many counterfeit products of our Cuigu Village on the market. After investigation, we found that these counterfeit products mainly come from some small workshops in your village. These counterfeit products not only damage our interests, but also the rights of consumers. Can we work together to find a way to solve this problem?"

Wang Dashan said sincerely.

After hearing this, Secretary Zhang frowned and said, "Secretary Wang, we are really not sure about this matter. We will definitely conduct an investigation immediately. If it is indeed done by a small workshop in our village, we will definitely deal with it seriously."

Wang Dashan said: "Secretary Zhang, we know that everyone is trying to make a living, but this kind of unfair competition is not advisable. We can work together to develop cultural products and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."

Secretary Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Secretary Wang, you are right. We have also been looking for development opportunities. Why don't we discuss it together and see how we can cooperate?"

After some discussion, the two sides reached a cooperation intention.

Cuigu Village will provide technical support and training to small workshops in neighboring villages to help them improve product quality; the neighboring villages will be responsible for cracking down on counterfeit and shoddy products in the village and maintaining market order.

The two sides will also jointly develop new cultural products and share market resources.

With the joint efforts of both parties, the number of counterfeit and shoddy products on the market has gradually decreased, and the reputation of Cuigu Village's cultural products has been restored.

Wang Dashan looked at the exquisite cultural products in the workshop and his heart was filled with emotion.

He knows that on the road to development, there will be various difficulties and challenges, but as long as everyone unites as one, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
