Research On Social Relief In The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region During The Anti-Japanese War

The shaanxi-gansu-ningxia border region(hereinafter referred to as "the border region")has always been economically backward.Since the communist party of China established the Soviet regime here and gradually abolished the feudal exploitation,it began to develop slowly.However,it is an indisputable fact that the economic foundation is weak.In this case,the natural environment of the border area is relatively fragile,easy to cause a variety of natural disasters,resulting in a large number of victims.In 1937 after the outbreak of total resistance,and influx of refugees from outside,how to relief for the victims and refugees became the border region government to consider an important question,it is not only related to the livelihood of thousands of displaced people and refugees,but also related to the shaanxi-gansu-ningxia border region social stability as well as the local office of the communist party of China smoothly.In order to solve the problem of relief for a large number of victims and refugees in the society at that time,the government of shaanxi-gansu-ningxia border region and the general public made strenuous efforts.Generally speaking,there are the following aspects:First,promote the establishment and improvement of social relief system in shaanxi-gansu-ningxia border region.In the long-term relief practice,shaanxi-gansu-ningxia border region has gradually issued and enacted a series of laws and regulations,from the temporary "one disaster,one rescue" law to the long-term legal changes,from mainly targeting the victims to gradually according to the relief needs of a large number of laws and regulations on war refugees,which reflects the trend of constantly improving the border area relief laws and regulations;In terms of its institutional setup,many of them followed the tradition of the Soviet period and had obvious improvement in the shaanxi-gansu-ningxia border area.The establishment was relatively more reasonable and many temporary relief agencies were added,which all reflected the institutionalized characteristics of shaanxi-gansu-ningxia border area in terms of relief.Secondly,give full play to the relief function of the government.In this period,despite the lack of financial resources,the border region government still tried its best to provide relief to the victims and refugees,on the one hand,emergency relief and work relief measures for the victims,and on the other hand,resettlement measures for the refugees,thus forming a complete relief process from temporary relief to post-settlement.In the process of relief,the goverrunent did not rely solely on food relief and other negative relief measures,but paid more attention to the improvement of the survival ability of refugees,which was reflected in the widespread launch of refugees to carry out production self-rescue,making this period of relief a combination of government relief and refugee self-rescue features.Finally,the reasonable use of civilian relief force.Civil relief of this period is mainly Collection of food and money,grain redistribution between people,and to establish three aspects,local public welfare granary or ban.Collection of food and money,grain redistribution between people were relatively common relief way,but how to arouse the enthusiasm of the people is very need to consider a problem,local public welfare granary or barn sport is on the basis of people spontaneously rise,thus realizes the positive shift of people from rescue to save his life.Although people were generally poor at that time and the power of folk relief was very limited,it was undeniable that launching folk relief was indeed an effective way to make up for the shortage of government relief.Through the implementation of a series of relief measures,on the one hand,both the government of the border area and the civil forces undoubtedly realized the relief for the victims and refugees,and through this series of relief measures,indirectly promoted the social and economic development of the border area at that time and the consolidation of the local governance of the comimunist party of China.On the other hand,due to the lack of ruling experience of the communist party of China and the limitations of social and economic conditions at that time,problems such as insufficient funds or imperfect relief system also appeared in the relief.However,under the social background at that time,this was also an inevitable phenomenon.
