Abstract:
Building a rural community is a key measure to promote the rapid development of rural society and achieve the strategic goal of rural revitalization. As the core force connecting the rural community, emotions constitute the essence of building a rural community. Based on the theory of interaction ritual chains, this article constructs an interaction ritual chain model to strengthen the emotions of the rural community. Through field research on the construction of emotional communities in Z village, Chaohu City, it is found that there are currently challenges in strengthening the emotions of the rural community, including spatial barriers, blurry focal points, lack of rituals, and weakened symbols. In response to these challenges, comprehensive strategies are designed based on the framework of the theory of interaction ritual chains, including integrating spaces, gathering focal points, creating rituals, and shaping symbols, in order to optimize the path of emotional strengthening in the rural community and effectively contribute to rural revitalization.
