Under the full Mid-Autumn moon, affection warms the elderly. On September 25, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the New Era Civilization Practice Station in Menglou Village, Xiling Temple Town, hosted the 2026 "Celebrate Mid-Autumn, Welcome National Day, Talk Civilization" event and the 87th session of the Menglou Village Banquet for a Hundred Elders, a centralized demonstration activity that used artistic performances to heighten the festive atmosphere and a heartwarming communal meal to convey local warmth, accompanying the village's elderly residents in celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

The event site was warm and lively with a rich atmosphere as wonderful artistic performances took the stage one after another. Melodious and elegant classic opera pieces were full of charm and deeply captivating; down-to-earth skits on changing outdated customs were vivid and close to daily life, using plain language that the masses could easily understand to advocate for simple weddings and funerals, break down outdated conventions and bad habits, and cultivate a civilized rural ethos. The elderly audience below watched with great interest, with rounds of applause and a spirited atmosphere.

Between the artistic performances, steaming hot dishes and sweet, soft mooncakes were brought to the tables one after another, each warm reunion feast carrying the village collective's best wishes for the elderly neighbors. The elders sat together in a circle, sharing food and chatting about everyday matters, truly feeling the warmth and care of rural life amid the strong and festive holiday atmosphere.

This activity was jointly carried out by the Suixian New Era Civilization Practice Center, the Xiling Temple Town New Era Civilization Practice Institute, and the Menglou Village New Era Civilization Practice Station. As a regular civilization practice signature brand of Menglou Village, the "Banquet for a Hundred Elders" has long promoted the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and loving relatives. The activity deeply integrated artistic performances, publicity on changing outdated customs, and heartwarming services for the elderly, delivering quality civilization practice services to the doorsteps of the masses, allowing the elderly group to share in the fruits of rural development, and continuously cultivating a civilized rural ethos of neighborhood harmony and reverence for virtue and goodness.

Next, Xiling Temple Town will continue to rely on new era civilization practice sites to regularly carry out cultural and sports activities that the masses enjoy, constantly enriching the people's spiritual and cultural life and continuously enhancing the people's sense of happiness, fulfillment, and security.
