There is an old saying in Hebei: "Business will be done in the market." This means that fairs and meetings are all about buying and selling. There is some truth in this statement, but it is not complete. The meeting is the "temple fair", which is often referred to as the material exchange meeting today. Its content, before wheat, mainly deals with farm tools such as power, harrows and brooms, and after autumn, mainly deals with large livestock such as cattle, horses and mules. The duration is as short as one day, as long as three or five days, or even seven, eight or half a month.

During the period, folk art performances with national flavor and local flavor were interspersed. But the "fair" is a veritable commercial transaction, which generally takes a short time, ranging from one day to half an hour. The timing of the trade fair is very important, so the word "hurry" is added in front of it. Due to the wide variety of products in Hebei Province, fair trade has been relatively developed. [ 1]
