Abstract

Mental poverty has led to the lack of spiritual motivation and intellectual support for poverty-stricken groups in western China, which has seriously hindered the pace of rural economic development in western China and the overall effectiveness of precise poverty alleviation. The problems of mental poverty are mainly characterized by backward ideas, lack of ideals and beliefs, serious distortion of values, ignorance of the spiritual world and lack of innovative spirit. The emergence of mental poverty is the result of a combination of plenty of factors such as extreme material poverty in the rural poverty-stricken areas, outdated thinking, serious lack of cultural education, poor mode of social poverty alleviation and insufficient endogenous motivation for self-development. To thoroughly solve the problem of mental poverty in rural areas of western China, we should focus on reshaping the positive and enterprising consciousness of the mentally impoverished subjects, establish a poverty alleviation and relief model that will effectively stimulate the endogenous motivation of the poor groups, strengthen the cultural education and scientific popularization of the poor groups, strive to enhance the soft power of rural culture, attach importance to the advanced demonstration and model guidance of the poor groups, give full play to the regional advantages of the rural areas in western China and the positive role of the non-governmental clan groups, help the rural poor groups in western China get rid of poverty and become rich at an early date, and promote the precise poverty alleviation work in western China to achieve the expected goal.
