The development of temple fairs

The temple fair was really shaped and perfected in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and even in modern times. The early temple fair was just a grand ritual activity. With the development of economy and the need of people's communication, temple fairs are gradually integrated into market trading activities while maintaining sacrificial activities. At this time, the temple fair was named Temple City, which became an important form of China market.

With the demand of people, temple fairs have increased entertainment activities, so visiting temple fairs in the New Year has become an indispensable part of the New Year. However, the specific contents of temple fairs in different regions are slightly different and have their own characteristics. The rural temple fair is a concentrated display of local folk beliefs, which embodies the characteristics of originality, authenticity, folklore and richness of folk culture, and carries a lot of historical and cultural information such as the lifestyle and imagination of working people in history.
