Tancheng County on the Shandong-Jiangsu border establishes a long-term cross-provincial co-construction mechanism with Xinyi and Pizhou of Jiangsu to jointly renovate rural customs and break administrative barriers.
The three regions unify standards for betrothal gifts and wedding banquets, hold joint cultural bazaars, village galas and collective wedding ceremonies, and jointly launch rural opera tours across provincial boundaries. Cross-border volunteer matchmaker teams and village wedding councils provide unified guidance for young couples to resist expensive marriage customs. Joint mediation meetings and regular exchange visits between border village cadres eliminate the "lowland effect" of outdated customs along the provincial boundary.

Cross-provincial cultural co-governance solves the long-standing governance pain points of border villages. Tancheng's replicable cooperation model provides a valuable reference for inter-provincial spiritual civilization construction across China.
