The strange twelve lakes make tourists forget to return.

Cultural construction

New ideas bring new cultural development. Although Hudong town is an economically backward fishing town in Shanwei City, it is adjacent to the sea and influenced by the sea, so it has a rough and simple folk culture. However, due to the weak economic foundation, culture has been lagging behind, and some excellent cultural factors have gradually lost from time and faded from the eyes of the masses. "In fact, economic development is inseparable from culture. Economy is the strength of a town, while culture is its charm and soul. " The party and government leaders of Hudong town deeply realize this truth: in the future, cities and towns will win and lose with the theory of culture!

Based on this understanding, the town in June 2006 to develop culture as the starting point for economic development, put forward the "town rural culture close construction" development strategy, efforts to implement cultural close action, so that culture and the masses close contact. Zheng Junxiong, Secretary of the Party committee of the town, found that Hudong sculpture is a genuine Hudong cultural masterpiece, a treasure of Lufeng folk culture, and also a leading folk art in Shanwei City. He visited Xu muhui, an old artist of dough sculpture, to encourage him to continue his creation and to pass on this unique technology through apprenticeship. In July 2007, the province held the "first folk Qiqiao art competition" in order to explore the distinctive folk arts and strengthen cultural exchanges. After learning about it, Zheng Junxiong felt that this was a good opportunity to launch the "dough sculpture", a "unique skill in the east of Lake". He once again visited the door and handed the task to Xu muhui. Xu muhui never thought that the "dough sculpture" would attract so much attention from the leaders of the town, so he was grateful to speed up his creation. Finally, his entries "seafood set meal" and "colorful Hehan" (cooperating with Jieshi old artist Zheng layer) won the silver medal, which aroused people's great interest and attention in the competition.

The party and government leaders of the town rescue and carry forward the "Sea Fishing Song". Taking advantage of the opportunity of Guangdong Province to hold the "first water fishing song competition", Lai Hao, deputy secretary of the town Party committee, mobilized the whole town to invite out the living old fishermen one by one, and then find a teacher Chen who is familiar with the art to adapt the old fishermen's songs. Full preparation has made the fishing songs kualang noisy in the sea and Fishing Song duet attractive on the field, winning bronze and gold medals. Hudong's "Fishing Song on the sea" has left a deep and unforgettable impression. On the basis of excavating, protecting and carrying forward the traditional folk culture, the town launched the first literature and Art Tour in 2007, which re displayed the traditional cultural programs such as mountain dragon boat, English song and dance, walking on stilts, high screen scenery and flower basket in front of the masses, bringing the groups who have not seen these arts for a long time closer to the traditional culture.
