为爱减负风化乡村

### English Translation Title: Lightening the Burden of Love in Rural Areas

News Summary: Across Ningxia, local governments are reforming marriage customs under the banner “Lighten the burden of love.” From official guidance to cultural immersion and industry support, they are promoting a more rational approach to bride price and wedding traditions. In places such as Haiyuan, Guyuan and Wuzhong, authorities hold collective weddings, train matchmakers, and showcase “zero bride price” and “good in‑laws” as model examples. They also provide concrete incentives—job opportunities, loan assistance, points that can be redeemed for benefits—so the new practices are showing real results.

Communities are weaving these fresh ideas into local folk art and village rules, using shadow puppetry, folk songs, paper‑cutting and other performances to make the message attractive and easy to understand. At the same time, with increased income from local industries, they have set up long‑term mechanisms such as cash rewards, skills training and health coverage, allowing material improvement and cultural change to reinforce each other.

Reflection and Insight: This inside‑out transformation depends both on sound policy design and on the example set by neighbors who understand and support one another. Returning matters of family honor and “face” to the principles of mutual aid, honesty and thrift is a kind‑hearted adjustment to daily life, giving more families a stable, secure path forward.

Scripture: Micah 6:8 – “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”
