In 7 AD, Canglangyuan Temple Fair was very popular in the northwest of yi county. On the third day of March every year, people who go to burn incense and pray for "Master Cang and Grandma Cang" are in an endless stream, and the incense is very prosperous and has continued to this day.

During the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, the "White Temple Fair" in southern yi county and the "Guanqiao Fair" in southern tengxian were the largest local ancient temple fairs.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the "Qingtan Temple Fair" in western yi county and the "Xianghui Fair" in Dongsha River in tengxian were spectacular.

According to Records of Yixian County and Tengxian County in Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of temples, temples and workshops in Zaozhuang area in Ming Dynasty.

Every temple and temple has a god. Whenever a temple or temple is completed, people who believe in these gods will burn incense and pray.

During Memorial Day, there was an endless stream of good men and women, and the roads were full and blocked. Businessmen and vendors gathered together and gradually evolved into trading places for buying and selling activities.

Generally, these temple fairs, incense parties and mule-horse meetings are held once a year, or twice or several times a year, lasting for three days, five days, seven days or even longer.

The members attending the ancient conference were mainly farmers, followed by craftsmen and small traders.

The commodities traded in temple fairs are mainly agricultural and sideline products and handicrafts.

The traditional ancient temple fairs in Zaozhuang in the late Qing Dynasty include Longtou, Guoli, Shuiguo, Qicun, Zhoucun, Xixi, Canglang Garden, Shanting, Xuzhuang, Yicheng, Dige, Qingtan Temple, Eshan, Cao Zhuang, Baishan, Gushao, Yinping and Xianrendong.

The following are some influential ancient temple fairs in Zaozhuang:

Qianshantou Temple Fair: Qianshantou, also known as Qingshantou by locals, is located at the junction of Tengzhou and Xuecheng District.

Hao Zhiyu, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, wrote in "A Tour of Zhaoyang Lake": "Looking east at Ito, the mountains are steep and steep, and Qiao Lin blows the sun, then Qian Shan is also the first.

According to documents, the temple fair here began in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of six or seven hundred years.

Every autumn in September, people gather here from Fiona Fang, hundreds of miles away, full of joy of harvest.

Residents of nearby villages have been killing pigs and sheep since early September, and invited friends and relatives from afar to come to the party.

In ancient times, temple fairs began on the fifth day of September and didn't end until the fifteenth. In fact, the "99" Double Ninth Festival reached its peak, and the actual duration was September 12. The locals said that it was September 12 to catch Qianshan.

At the meeting, men and women jostled shoulder to shoulder, and the gate was packed.

The simple farmers who hurried to the meeting never forgot to bring a few liters of grain and millet to the temple to pray for the gods to bless the agricultural harvest in the coming year; Scholars climb high and look far, gather chrysanthemums under the hedge, and compose poems; The city's troupe and various folk artists also took the opportunity to perform. ...

The first acre fair in Qian Shan has experienced hundreds of years and changes. Nowadays, temple fairs have become a medium for people to exchange materials, contact feelings, entertain and travel, and negotiate business, which has greatly promoted the local economic development.

Qingtan Temple Fair: Qingtan Temple is located in the "Guanshi Liuyuan" in the west of Yicheng District, surrounded by mountains in the east, west and north, and there is an artificial reservoir in the south.

One of the eight scenic spots in yi county, "Green Tan and Autumn Colors", refers to this place.

In the Tang Dynasty, this mountain was called Yunfeng Mountain, and Yunfeng Temple was built. It was renamed Qingtan Temple because it was rich in Qingtan trees.

When I was in Tomb-Sweeping Day, there were tens of thousands of believers in the temple, and the incense was very prosperous.

With the development of economy and tourism, the temple fair in Qingtan Temple has changed from a single "Tomb-Sweeping Day" to "May Day" and "Eleventh Day" in the solar calendar twice.

Wenchang Pavilion Incense Temple Fair: Wenchang Pavilion is located in Taierzhuang District and will be held on the second day of the second lunar month.

Legend has it that this day is the day when the emperor started the exam. On this day, the literati offered incense to the "Wenchang Emperor", which was blessed by the gods and won the title of No.1 scholar.

This pavilion was built in the late Ming Dynasty and rebuilt during the reign of Qing Qianlong.

The biggest feature of Wenchang Pavilion Incense Festival is that all pilgrims come to the temple to burn incense and pray for children's success. Because this market is a literati incense market, a street with paper, ink, pens, inkstones, ancient and modern books, textbooks and paper is specially set up for literati to choose from.

Taishan Palace Temple Fair: Located in Taierzhuang District, commonly known as Taishan Temple Fair, it is held on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month.

This day is the day when the Queen of Mount Tai makes incense, and it is also the traditional incense day of Buddhism.

Taierzhuang, the temple fair of Taishan Palace, is the most famous. Except those who are in a state of emergency or sick, they usually pray on the eighth day of April. In addition, there are magical legends such as sending Guanyin and giving birth to a goddess, and pilgrims often jostle each other.

On the eighth day of April in Taierzhuang, Taishan Palace Temple Fair is the largest ancient meeting in southern Shandong. Hundreds of merchants and department stores gather in Fiona Fang, starting from Tancheng and Pizhou in the east, Tongshan and Weishan in the west, Suining and Lingbi in the south and Zaozhuang, tengxian and Feixian in the north. Ten days ago, someone came to occupy the site, and artists from all over the world also came to entertain.

It plays a great role in promoting material exchange and developing local economy.

Canglangyuan Temple Fair: Canglangyuan is located in Beizhuang Town, 0/4 km north of Zaozhuang City, surrounded by mountains. During the rainstorm season, the flood is constant and the water flows several feet. Deep springs are several feet deep and choppy, hence the name "Canglangyuan".

Canglang Temple is built on the north side of Canglang Garden, where the gods such as Master Cang and Grandma Cang are enshrined. According to legend, Canglang and his wife live in seclusion here, specializing in saving all beings and doing good deeds. Praised as a living Buddha, he moved to heaven, and the Jade Emperor named Canglang a great god.

Legend has it that on the third day of March every year, Master Cang will take his family to Canglangyuan's hometown to visit all the old folks. On this day, hundreds of people around him kept gathering together and refused to leave. Today, there is a good saying that "help relatives, help neighbors, and Master Cang looks for Shandong people".

Over time, Canglangyuan Temple Fair was formed. On March 3, it came to worship "Master Cang" and prayed for disaster relief and blessing, which has continued to this day.

These temple fairs are pure temple fairs, that is, incense fairs are held only in spring or autumn every year, and temple fairs are not held at ordinary times.

In fact, many temple fairs in Zaozhuang usually hold fairs in addition to incense fairs in spring and autumn.

In other words, there are many people living around the temple. It is not enough for these permanent residents to exchange living and production materials only by temple fairs in spring and autumn, but also by market exchange to meet people's living and production needs.

Many temple fairs in Zaozhuang area are also carriers of the market.

Here are a few examples.

Shagou Temple Fair in Xuecheng District: Shagou Town faces Weishan Lake in the west and is located at the junction of Shandong and Jiangsu provinces.

"Shagou was named Fengcheng in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Later, because there was a Shahe flowing through the village, it was renamed Shagou.

During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Yong 'anzhai, meaning permanent peace.

Shagouli is a transportation hub and a military center.

Ming Hongzhi set up the exchange, Jiajing set up the inspection department, Wanli set up the garrison, and Qing Yongzheng changed it to the headquarters.

Since then, it has been the resident of district, township, commune and town organs, and beijing-shanghai railway has set up a station here. There are six villagers' committees in the village.

"(see shagou town nameplate)

There is a Tianqi Temple in Shagou, and there is a temple fair on March 16th and the first day of October of the lunar calendar every year.

Every temple fair, dajia, a small businessman, is full of five elements and eight merits, six gambling tables, several plays, three religions and nine streams.

There are several counties in Anhui in the south, Jinan in the north and Kaifeng in Henan in the west. Businessmen from more than a dozen counties in Jiangsu are celebrities who come to the party.

Henan opera and acrobatics from Anhui and Jiangsu also came to perform ... with unprecedented pomp.

In addition to the Spring and Autumn Temple Fair, Shagou is also a big gathering on the first, fourth, sixth and ninth day of the lunar calendar.

Tengzhou Chaihudian Temple Fair: Chaihudian is located in Tengxian, on the north-south post road of feudal dynasty, 23km north of Tengxian, 9km south of Xuecheng, and 0km west of Weishan (Xiazhen) 10, at the foot of Qianshan, at the intersection of Hexie River and Cross River.

There are abundant products here, not only many agricultural and sideline products, but also the hometown of fruits. Huangli in Liu Cun has been famous since the Ming Dynasty.

In the battle of Zhifeng, Zhang Zongchang's troops were stationed in Chaihudian.

Chaihudian Temple Fair is held three times a year on March 15th, April 25th and October 12th of the lunar calendar.

In addition to temple fairs, Chaihu Store also meets every four episodes on the first, third, sixth and eighth day of the lunar calendar in October.

According to local elderly residents, Chaihudian Temple Fair is earlier and larger than Guanqiao Temple Fair adjacent to it. Later, due to the opening of the railway, Guanqiao set up a railway station, with convenient transportation and increasingly prosperous trade, which gradually replaced the position of Chaihu Store. Now Chaihudian temple fair and grand festival are far less than Guanqiao temple fair and grand festival.

This also confirms the popular saying: "If you want to get rich, build roads first" is very correct.

There are many temple fairs and large gatherings in Shagou and Chaihudian. As mentioned above, I won't go into details here.

Everything in the world is constantly changing. The content, scale, function and effect of temple fairs are very different from those in history.

Today, people use, transform and develop temple fairs according to their own wishes.

Because of this, some temple fairs in history have developed and grown; Some temple fairs have shrunk and disappeared.

For example, due to the needs of economy and tourism, the temple fair in Qingtan Temple has not only expanded in scale, but also increased in the number of meetings. At the same time, * * * also uses the carrier of Qingtan Temple Fair to hold an international "Liu Hua Fair" to attract investment.

Another example is the "Shengshan Temple Fair" in Yangzhuang Town, Tengzhou City. Historically, there were temples on the holy mountain, and temple fairs were held twice a year on the ninth day of the first lunar month and the ninth day of September. Now, there are no temples on the holy mountain, and there are no tourist attractions and residents on the mountain. The nearby sheep village is thriving again.

As a result, the "Holy Mountain Temple Fair" gradually disappeared, and even some locals did not know that there was a temple fair in Holy Mountain.

Although people still need some temple fairs, they have affected economic development and harmed people's interests in a wider scope and should be banned.

For example, the leading temple fair in Zaozhuang, although people need it, is located on the main street of the urban area, which will affect the traffic of the city every time.

Therefore, it is forbidden to use.

Folklore workers believe that in order to meet the psychological needs of some people and balance their mentality, they can meet at another place near the original site of Longtou Temple Fair.

Of course, its premise is that it does not affect traffic.

From the field investigation in Zaozhuang area, the temple fair has attracted both ordinary tourists and devout pilgrims. In the new era, folk religious beliefs still exist widely, and a certain proportion of people still regard religious beliefs as psychological comfort to pray for peace and balance their mentality.

From this perspective, the temple fair just provides this group with a moderate space to serve goodness and repair and pray for happiness.

On the other hand, people's material living standards have been greatly improved, and the role of temple fairs in promoting material exchanges between urban and rural areas was not obvious in the past.

However, with the development and prosperity of tourism, temple fairs still have practical significance for invigorating the rural economy.

As the main brand of Zaozhuang tourism, Yicheng Qingtan Temple Fair can become a tourist attraction integrating investment attraction, religious pilgrimage, folk custom collection, leisure flower viewing and sightseeing.
