Why is the custom of rural fair spread so far?

Because rural fairs are a kind of folk culture, with the development of society, many rural gatherings have decreased. The custom of going to the market has a long history, which can be traced back to ancient times. In ancient times, people would take the extra things at home to a fixed place for exchange in exchange for what they needed. With the passage of time, the custom of going to the market has been formed.

In rural areas, going to the market has become a habit. Under the background of planned economy in China, the market economy was not very active because of the influence of macro-environment and policies at that time. For example, in my hometown, generally speaking, according to the lunar calendar, there are fairs in our towns and villages every day. On this day, villagers from all directions will go to the market to buy things. There are many people, and it looks very lively. On this day, the streets are full of stalls, and mobile vendors usually go to nearby villages and towns to do business.

Now that farmers have money, it is much more convenient to buy things. Now the national policy is getting better and better, and the grain output has also increased significantly. In addition to busy farming, most farmers will develop some sideline businesses to increase their income. Farmers gradually have spare money in their hands and their lives are getting better and better. From the rural market, we can see that there are many kinds of goods, the number of mobile vendors is expanding, and people are sending out a strong desire to buy.

Nowadays, rural markets have become more and more deserted. With the promotion of the reform and opening-up policy, all walks of life are developing rapidly. At this time, farmers no longer just want to plant their own mu of land, but want to pursue better living conditions. Therefore, many young people in rural areas began to choose to work in economically developed places to make money. As more and more people go out to work, fewer people stay at home. Mainly women, children and the elderly. In the past, the bustling rural markets were gradually deserted, and the business was not as good as before. Nowadays, many people go shopping just as a feeling.
