Temple Fair is a folk religion and custom in China. It is also one of the forms of fair trade in China, and its formation is related to the development of local temples and religious activities. It is held in temples on festivals or designated days, mostly in or near temples, hence the name. It is popular in vast areas of the country.

In ancient times, "Japan and China were markets" and conducted market trade. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, rulers believed in Buddhism, built temples to celebrate the birth of Bodhisattva and the opening of Buddha statues, and vendors gathered in department stores to supply tourists and believers, thus becoming a temple market. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Suoguo Temple in Kaifeng was very famous. Li Qingzhao, a poetess known as "the first talented woman in history", once went to a temple fair with her husband Zhao Mingcheng.
