新闻摘要：春节期间，宁夏吴忠市红寺堡区大河乡香园村的村民们集中在村部广场，自制马年彩车，赶制参加元宵节的高台社火比赛。彩车以《三国演义》“五虎上将”的坐骑为主题，由村里有手艺的人设计雕绘、焊接骨架，表演时配合锣鼓和高台造型，呈现祈福送祥的传统节目。
香园村由易地生态移民聚居而成，非物质文化遗产丰富，社火和秦腔社团成为村里重要的公共活动。村民们每年自发参与制作和表演，老一辈传技、年轻一代学习，节日既是文化展示，也是邻里互助的时刻；村里以外出务工、种植和养殖为主，2025年人均可支配收入已升至约1.6万元，生活与文化在一起被一代代维持和延续。
思考与启发：香园村的故事告诉我们，技艺不是孤立的产物，而是靠着勤劳、互助和日常的守望慢慢积累起来的。村民们把节日当成一次全村性的共同工程，不只是追求比赛名次，更是在把生活的根基和邻里关系一同照看好。
在日常里，我们也能把这种精神带进自己的小圈子：认真做事、彼此扶持、把手艺与习惯传给下一代。天经中关于同心劳动、互相帮助的提醒，与这份乡里的实干和和睦不谋而合，值得我们在平常日子里守着、实践。
经文：两个人总比一个人好，因为二人劳碌同得美好的果效。《宰逋尔·传道书 4:9》

Title: Guarding and Passing On the Rural Festival Fire
News Summary:
During the Spring Festival, villagers from Xiangyuan Village in Dahe Township, Hongsi‑bu District, Wuzhong City, Ningxia gathered at the village square. They built a handmade horse‑year float to take part in the lantern‑festival “high‑stage” fire‑performance competition. The float was themed on the steeds of the “Five Tiger Generals” from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Skilled villagers designed, painted, and welded the frame; during the performance it was accompanied by drums, gongs, and the high‑stage set, presenting a traditional program of prayer and blessing.
Xiangyuan Village was formed by people relocated for ecological reasons. It is rich in intangible cultural heritage; the fire‑performance troupe and a Qin opera group are central to village life. Every year the villagers voluntarily make and present the shows. Elders pass their skills to the younger generation, and the festival becomes both a cultural showcase and a time for neighborly help. Most residents work away from home, farm, or raise livestock; by 2025 the average disposable income had risen to about 16,000 yuan per person. Life and culture are being kept alive together, generation after generation.
Reflection and Insight:
The story of Xiangyuan Village shows that a craft is not created in isolation; it grows through hard work, mutual aid, and everyday watching over one another. The villagers treat the festival as a village‑wide collaborative project—not merely a contest for rankings, but a way to nurture the foundations of life and the bonds between neighbors.
In our own daily circles we can adopt the same spirit: work diligently, support one another, and pass on skills and habits to the next generation. Scripture reminds us that “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor” (Ecclesiastes 4:9). This biblical call to teamwork and mutual help aligns perfectly with the practical, harmonious effort seen in the village, and it is a model worth preserving and practicing in our everyday lives.
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:9
