On the 23rd, a press conference was held to introduce the economic performance of agriculture and rural areas in the first quarter of 2026.
It was stated that efforts will continue to advance rural construction, improve the rural living environment, upgrade rural infrastructure and public services, and steadily address prominent issues such as high bride prices and extravagant ceremonies. Efforts will also enrich the supply of rural cultural products and services, and accelerate efforts to address shortcomings in modern rural living conditions.
rural cultural products and services
Rural cultural products and services encompass traditional crafts, local foods, folk performances, and heritage-based tourism offered in countryside communities. These offerings often stem from generations of local knowledge and practices, reflecting the unique identity and history of a region. In recent decades, they have gained recognition as vital tools for rural economic development and cultural preservation, helping sustain livelihoods while keeping traditions alive.
