1, morning market
In Shenmu and other places, there is a special traditional market, which opens early every morning for only 2-3 hours, and is called "morning market". In the past, grain trade was the main business. Anyone who goes to town to buy grain and rice buys and sells at this time. Later, vegetables and melons became the most common. Vegetable farmers in the suburbs and residents in the city go to the market in the morning, commonly known as "catching the morning market", which is still a custom.
2. Shi Gui
In some places, the market quickly dispersed before dawn, commonly known as "dew collection", "ghost collection" and "ghost market". In the old days, there were ghost markets in An People's Paradise, the area around Dongcheng Gate, Baxian Temple and Sanqiao Town. The ghost market in Dongchengmen has a long history. First along the city wall outside the city, and then gradually moved to the east gate.
The formation of this ghost market is mainly due to the fact that some descendants of poor residents or bureaucrats sell their property to make a living when they are down and out. In order not to show their faces, they sell clothes in a dark corner before dawn when there are few pedestrians on the road. There are also thieves who come here to sell things secretly. Some people go to the ghost market to buy cheap things, which is called "driving the ghost market". In the ghost market of the Eight Immortals Temple, people used to sell clothes and other relics worn by the dead.
