Now let us take a look together at the requirements and significance of building a new socialist countryside!
Requirements for building a new socialist countryside
1. Production development: Production development is the central link in building a new countryside and the material foundation for achieving other goals. Building a new socialist countryside is like constructing a large building, and the economy is the foundation of this building. If the foundation is not solid, the building cannot be built. If the economy does not develop, even the most beautiful blueprint cannot become reality.
2. Prosperous living: Prosperous living is the purpose of building a new countryside and also the basic measure for evaluating our work. Only when farmers' incomes rise, their food, clothing, housing and transportation improve, and their living standards increase can the building of a new countryside achieve solid results. [2]
3. Civilized rural customs: Civilized rural customs are a reflection of farmers' quality and embody the requirements of building spiritual civilization in rural areas. Only when the ideological, cultural and moral levels of the farmer masses continuously improve, when they advocate civilization and science, when a good social atmosphere of family harmony, simple folk customs, mutual assistance and cooperation, and stability and harmony is formed, and when education, culture, health and sports undertakings flourish, can the building of a new countryside be comprehensive and complete.
4. Neat village appearance: A neat village appearance is the window that displays the new face of rural areas and is an inevitable requirement for achieving the harmonious development of people and the environment. What a new socialist countryside presents to people should be a scene in which dirty, messy and poor conditions have been fundamentally addressed, the living environment has been notably improved, and farmers live and work in peace and contentment. This is the most intuitive manifestation of building a new countryside.
5. Democratic management: Democratic management is the political guarantee for building a new countryside and demonstrates respect for and protection of the farmer masses' political rights. Only by further expanding democracy at the rural grassroots level, improving the system of villager self-governance, and truly letting the farmer masses be masters of their own affairs can the enthusiasm of the farmer masses be mobilized and a new socialist countryside truly be built well.

Economic development: The economic development of building a new socialist countryside mainly refers to establishing a long-term mechanism for increasing farmers' incomes on the basis of comprehensively developing rural production, doing everything possible to increase farmers' incomes, realizing farmers' prosperity, and striving to narrow the urban-rural gap.
2. Political development: The political development of building a new socialist countryside mainly refers to effectively strengthening the building of rural grassroots democratic institutions and the building of the rural legal system on the basis of strengthening democratic quality education for farmers, and guiding farmers to exercise their democratic rights in accordance with the law.
3. Cultural development: The cultural development of building a new socialist countryside mainly refers to carrying out various forms of mass cultural activities that reflect local rural characteristics on the basis of strengthening the building of rural public culture, and enriching the spiritual and cultural life of the farmer masses.
4. Social development: The social development of building a new socialist countryside mainly refers to further developing rural compulsory education and vocational education on the basis of increasing public financial investment in rural public undertakings, strengthening the building of the rural medical and health system, and establishing and improving the rural social security system, in order to realize the desire that rural children have schooling, the elderly have care, and the sick have medical treatment.

It is necessary to further enhance farmers' legal awareness, raise farmers' consciousness and ability to safeguard their lawful rights and interests and exercise their lawful rights in accordance with the law, and strive to advance the overall building of a new socialist countryside.
Significance of building a new socialist countryside
1. Building a new socialist countryside is a major measure for implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development. An important content of the Scientific Outlook on Development is comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable economic and social development, and coordinated urban-rural development is an important component of it. To fully implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, we must ensure that farmers, who make up the majority of the population, participate in the development process and share in the fruits of development. If we ignore the wishes and vital interests of the farmer masses, and rural economic and social development remains lagging for a long time, our development cannot be comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable, and the Scientific Outlook on Development cannot be implemented. We should deeply understand the internal connection between building a new socialist countryside and implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development, more consciously and proactively devote ourselves to building a new socialist countryside, and promote the economy and society to shift onto the track of scientific development as soon as possible.
2. Building a new socialist countryside is an inevitable requirement for ensuring the smooth advancement of our country's modernization. International experience shows that coordinated development between industry and agriculture and between urban and rural areas is an important prerequisite for the success of modernization. Some countries handled the relationship between industry and agriculture and between urban and rural areas relatively well, achieved rapid economic and social development, and quickly joined the ranks of modernized countries. Some other countries did not handle the relationship between industry and agriculture and between urban and rural areas well, causing rural areas to lag behind for a long time, resulting in stagnation or even regression of the entire national economy and seriously obstructing the modernization process. We must deeply draw on the positive and negative lessons from foreign experience, incorporate rural development into the entire modernization process, advance the building of a new socialist countryside in step with industrialization and urbanization, let hundreds of millions of farmers share in the fruits of modernization, and take a modernization path with Chinese characteristics in which industry and agriculture develop in a coordinated way and cities and rural areas prosper together.
3. Building a new socialist countryside is a key task in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. The moderately prosperous society we are building is a higher-level moderately prosperous society benefiting more than a billion people, and its focus as well as its difficulty lie in rural areas. Since reform and opening up, tremendous changes have taken place in the appearance of our country's cities, but changes in the appearance of rural areas in most regions have been relatively small. In some places, rural areas still lack roads, the masses cannot afford medical treatment, cannot drink clean water, and farmers' children cannot afford to attend school. If this situation cannot be effectively reversed, building a moderately prosperous society in all respects will become empty talk. Therefore, through building a new socialist countryside, we must accelerate the process of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects in rural areas.
4. Building a new socialist countryside is a lasting driving force for maintaining steady and relatively rapid national economic development. Expanding domestic demand is our country's long-term strategic policy and basic foothold for developing the economy. Rural areas concentrate our country's largest and most potential consumer group and are the most reliable and lasting source of momentum for our country's economic growth. By advancing the building of a new socialist countryside, we can accelerate rural economic development, increase farmers' incomes, transform the potential purchasing desire of hundreds of millions of farmers into enormous real consumer demand, and drive the sustained growth of the entire economy. In particular, by strengthening the construction of rural roads, housing, energy, water conservancy, communications and so on, we can both improve farmers' production and living conditions and consumption environment, and absorb the excess production capacity of some current industries, promoting the development of related industries.
5. Building a new socialist countryside is an important foundation for building a socialist harmonious society. Social harmony is inseparable from social harmony in the vast rural areas. At present, rural social relations in our country are generally healthy and stable, but there are also some contradictions and problems that cannot be ignored. By advancing the building of a new socialist countryside and accelerating rural economic and social development, it is conducive to better safeguarding the lawful rights and interests of the farmer masses, easing rural social contradictions, reducing unstable factors in rural areas, and laying a solid foundation for building a socialist harmonious society.
