The "Most Beautiful Rural Book House" in China: Continuing the custom of Chongwen and teaching
Green bricks and tiles, cornices and angles, an old house with a thick sense of age is next to the Yangtiancun Primary School. This is the farmhouse of the village of Koda. It has made indispensable contributions to the continuation of the customs and family style of re-teaching and diligent study.
"After school and holidays, it's the most popular here. Literature and art lovers and retired teachers in the village read books here, and farmers who encounter problems in fertilizing and breeding will also come to the book house to find relevant information. Chief Denga told reporters.
In the early days, the Rural Library in Yangtiancun was just a simple reading corner. As the villagers' cultural needs grew, village officials began to search for a "new home" for the reading corner. Hearing that there was a demand in the village, the old man Zhang Qiuxiang, born in 1929, did not hesitate to donate his old house and renovate it at his own expense.
After the improvement of the quality of the village, the rural library has set up children's reading room, electronic reading room, learning and exchange room, calligraphy room and other functional rooms, and more than tens of thousands of books are all distributed by the government and donated by caring people.
The old man Zhang Qiuxiang also often came to the library to learn to read, read books and read newspapers. "My mother knows more than 4000,12 words, and often tells her children and grandchildren the principles of being a person and doing things, and instills the concept of patriotism and family love." Zhang Qiuxiang's son Luo Biru said that because of the family style of emphasizing knowledge from generation to generation, a total of 2 college students and <> doctors have come out of the family.
In Yangtian Village, every parent also agreed with their children that their parents would not play cards and their children would not play mobile phones. Neighbors are not richer than anyone's family, they can read more than whose children, parents and children should learn and progress together.

The Rural Library of Yangtian Village was selected as the "Most Beautiful Rural Library" in China. "The book house has not only become a 'gas station' for villagers to learn skills to get rich, a 'charging station' for teenagers to improve their cultural literacy, but also a 'health station' for the elderly to read and relax." Deng Jia said that Yangtian Village will further give full play to the advantages of the state-level rural library and create a bookish atmosphere of one household and one book corner in the village.
"With the help of the platform of the Rural Book House, we regularly carry out cultural salons or theme lectures such as literary works, poetry creation, health and wellness, hold a series of themed activities for cultivation and reading heirlooms, and invite doctors to tell the stories of family style and family training and school experience for teenagers, so that the Rural Book House will become the spiritual food of the villagers." Deng Jiachang said that Yangtian Village has also set up a rural library education fund to reward villagers' families who have obtained university entrance examinations and master's and doctoral degrees, and awarded the "Scholarly Family" plaque.

With the doctoral village research and practice base as the center, Yangtian Village concentrated on research classrooms, country houses, special catering, agricultural creativity, cultural creativity, etc., and carried out the third-phase development project.

The ancestral culture of family style and ancestral training, such as diligent study, family and country benefit, and poetry inheritance, has also become a unique element of the spiritual civilization construction of the new rural area of Yangtian. Many of the common points can be summarized from the family customs and family rules related to the family trees of the village. For example, "loyal and patriotic", "being a good example", "cultivating and studying", and "harmonious villagers" are all used to persuade the villagers with "goodness and beauty".
In today's Yangtian Village, despite the superior living conditions, the villagers still pasted the ancestral motto of "Pass on the family motto of diligence and thrift, cultivate and study for the prosperity of the people" and "Study hard, benefit the family and the country" on both sides of the gate. Deng Jiachang said that the integration of family style and ancestral training into the construction of new countryside plays an important role in consolidating patriotic spirit, purifying social atmosphere, promoting cultural construction, promoting social communication, and developing harmonious relations.
"Strive to build a prosperous village for the development of characteristic industries, a bright village with cultural characteristics, and let more people return to their hometowns to start businesses." It is also hoped that under the collective wisdom and efforts of people with lofty ideals, more doctoral agricultural and sideline products, doctoral cultural and creative products will be created.
