What is "fairness" in rural areas?

Rural "bazaar" is a periodic free trade market in economically underdeveloped areas, which is generally formed by townships or towns.

First, rural "fairs" will be held at fixed times. On this day, vendors around towns and villages and villagers who need to purchase will gather in one place for trade activities.

When I was a child, I was looking forward to the day of the fair, because on this day, my parents basically went to the market to buy some food, bought us some food on holidays, and sometimes bought us a dress.

The market is very lively. People are selling vegetables, clothes, snacks, fruits and nuts. At that time, the market in our town was on the central street of the town. Actually, there is only one street. Vendors put stalls on both sides of the street, leaving room for people and vehicles to pass. At the peak of the market, usually in the morning, the streets are crowded with people. Only the bicycle bell keeps ringing in Rinrin, but it is difficult to move forward one meter, especially if you meet tractors, tricycles and cars. However, in the afternoon, the number of people will gradually decrease, and everyone will be busy bargaining with vendors to try to buy satisfactory items at low prices before dark.

Second, the rural "market" provides a convenient trading platform for rural people.

In rural areas, some people do small businesses at home, while others grow vegetables and fruits at home. With this market, it provides a trading platform for everyone, and also provides a market for villagers in remote areas to buy daily necessities, shortening their travel distance. Our home is in a village. It takes about 40 minutes from my home to the town by bike, and about one and a half hours to the county by bike. At that time, cars were not as common as they are now, and even motorcycles were rare. Everyone's means of transportation is either a bicycle or his own legs and feet. Therefore, the "market" is born and adapted to the times, which was particularly important when the economy was underdeveloped in the past.

For hawkers, they usually go to the market and wander around nearby towns. Now, there is a "market" in this town, so they rush to this town. Tomorrow, there is a "market" in the nearby town, and then they rush to the nearby town. Run different township markets all the year round. Although it is hard, after all, there is a platform for doing business, which gives the villagers around the town another way to make a living. Of course, for villagers with purchasing needs, "market" is even more gospel, because they can buy the goods they need nearby, and the prices of many goods will be lower than those in the county.

"Fair" is a folk custom and an activity naturally formed by working people in their production and life. However, with the escalation of traffic and the impact of e-commerce, the "market" in some places is gradually depressed. But in any case, the rural "market" came into being, and its existence has a long history. Even if the distant future doesn't exist, it can't erase its once beautiful side.
