The concept of legal education has been transformed into an engaging and interactive experience in Yinchuan. By moving legal awareness initiatives into vast, picturesque fields, the city has demonstrated that public legal education can be far more dynamic than simply reciting statutes.
In Helan County, Yinchuan, a creative "legal-themed hotspot" is nestled within expansive rice fields. The local area has leveraged the Rice-Fishing Space Eco-Tourism Park to integrate legal culture, Yellow River culture, and pastoral scenery. This fusion has given rise to the Ningxia Yellow River Legal Culture Belt Theme Park, which has also earned the prestigious title of a regional legal social practice demonstration site. This approach has successfully brought legal awareness campaigns to life in the countryside.
The methods of legal promotion within the park are diverse and imaginative. The area features comprehensive installations including legal-themed rice field art, a legal sculpture square, and legal education corridors. The most striking feature is the large-scale legal artwork created in the rice fields—using the fields as a canvas and colored rice plants as the medium to depict grand scenes with themes like "the rule of law safeguarding rural revitalization." As the rice sways through the seasons, solemn legal concepts are transformed into vibrant pastoral landscapes, achieving the subtle and pervasive integration of legal awareness into the environment.
Furthermore, the park innovatively incorporates intangible cultural heritage into its legal education efforts. By aligning with events like the Farmers' Harvest Festival and Winter Carnival, intangible heritage skills such as Niwawu clay whistles, paper-cutting, gourd pyrography, and Yellow River stone painting are infused with legal themes. Exhibitions of intangible cultural heritage with legal elements are held, inviting heritage masters to provide on-site instruction. This multi-faceted approach combining visual appreciation, hands-on experience, and cultural inheritance ensures that legal education carries local charm while resonating with contemporary audiences, creating a win-win situation for legal awareness, cultural tourism, and economic benefits.
Accessible Legal Services: Providing a Strong Sense of Security for Relocated Communities
For communities relocated from remote mountainous areas to the plains, where does their sense of security come from? Minning Town in Yinchuan provides a robust answer. Recognized as a National Model Town for Democratic Rule of Law and a national advanced example of the "Fengqiao Experience" in the new era, the town's comprehensive governance center employs one-stop services and digital tools to resolve disputes right at residents' doorsteps, offering stable legal protection for the relocated population.
The town has established an efficient "one-stop" dispute resolution model. By integrating resources from the police station, judicial office, petition office, and other departments, it has built a comprehensive system for "unified intake, case assignment, and closed-loop feedback." Residents no longer need to visit multiple offices; entering one door can resolve their issues, effectively addressing conflicts at the grassroots level and nipping problems in the bud. This model sets a benchmark for effective grassroots governance in relocated communities.
More considerately, the town has implemented a "code-based" system for rights protection. An innovative "one case, one code" mechanism allows for full traceability and transparency throughout the handling of a resident's request. Individuals can check the progress at any time, eliminating the need for repeated inquiries. Simultaneously, an online rights protection channel has been established. Through village-level WeChat groups and convenient mini-programs, residents' appeals are collected, and a dedicated mediation team for online disputes handles new challenges like e-commerce transaction disputes, online reputation infringement, and digital labor rights issues quickly and efficiently. This enables relocated residents to safeguard their legal rights without leaving their homes.
Minning Town also places significant emphasis on cybersecurity risks. It regularly conducts awareness campaigns on telecom network fraud and personal information protection. By analyzing and explaining real cases, the town ensures the information is understandable, memorable, and practical for the public, thereby comprehensively enhancing digital legal literacy, helping residents protect their finances and personal information.
