As dawn breaks and warmth gradually spreads, Shuangxi Town in Pingnan County is already brimming with the vitality of daily life. Inside the Pingnan Changqing Root Art Culture Museum, root art teaching activities proceed in an orderly manner; at the Public Art Education Center, the "Everyone is a Barista" course fills the air with aromatic scents; in the Senior University classrooms, specialized courses precisely meet the needs of middle-aged and elderly groups.
As a thousand-year-old ancient town, how can cultural venues truly come "alive" and make civilized services genuinely "warm" people's hearts? Shuangxi Town has broken away from the traditional model of "government taking care of everything" and explored a new path of "contract management, professional operation, and multi-party governance" - the government builds platforms and provides support, entrusting cultural venues to passionate "new villagers" teams who understand art and experienced senior university operators. From curriculum design to activity organization, the entire process is led by professional forces.
Leveraging the ancient town's tourism resources and root carving intangible cultural heritage, the locality has innovatively launched a collaborative service model of "intangible cultural heritage inheritors + new villagers," "aesthetic education volunteer services in schools" activities, and regularly conducts specialized courses such as "Root Carving Art in the Classroom," actively building a diversified cultural volunteer service system.
Today, from root art creation to intangible cultural heritage experiences, from skills training to leisure socializing, from policy promotion to convenient services, Shuangxi Town's public cultural venues function like "precision irrigation" pipelines, delivering diverse services to different groups: young people learn new skills here, elderly people find entertainment here, children gain knowledge here, achieving a warm integration of the ancient town's "thousand-year cultural heritage" with "everyday life."
In 2024, Shuangxi Town conducted 12 folk cultural activities, reaching over 10,000 people; "Root Carving Art in the Classroom" accumulated hundreds of classes, benefiting tens of thousands of teachers and students; over 20 "Art + Aesthetic Education" school programs were conducted, covering 3,000 students.
In today's Shuangxi Town, the seeds of civilized practice have taken root and sprouted in the ancient town's fertile soil, transforming into powerful momentum driving rural revitalization. Moving forward, Shuangxi Town will continue to enhance service quality and efficiency through refined management, amplify civilized effects through brand building, ensuring that the flowers of civilization bloom eternally, injecting deeper and more lasting cultural strength into comprehensive rural revitalization.
