The Rural Life Movement

The Rural Life Movement was a social and cultural effort in the late 19th and early 20th centuries aimed at improving life in countryside communities. It emphasized the importance of farming traditions, local crafts, and rural values, encouraging people to appreciate and preserve rural culture amid rapid urbanization and industrialization. The movement promoted better education, community development, and self-sufficiency in rural areas, seeking to counteract the decline of rural life and ensure its relevance and vitality for future generations.
