Night market is a market that mainly deals at night, and it may sell groceries, clothes, food, barbecues, electrical parts, games and almost anything. Night market is often an important tourist attraction in tropical and subtropical countries. In many places such as Kaifeng in mainland China, as well as Taiwan Province and Hongkong, night market is one of the important representatives of civilian life culture.

The main activity in the night market is browsing. Most of the things here are ordinary. You won't find famous brands or exquisite antiques. Snacks are another attractive part of the night market. In night markets in different places, vendors will provide all kinds of local snacks or fast food. The night market first appeared in Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province), and the prosperity of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty surpassed that of the previous generation, especially in the south. At that time, there were many commercial cities, the largest of which was Kaifeng, with a population of 1.5 million. After the Southern Song Dynasty, it moved its capital to Lin 'an (now Hangzhou). The population of Lin 'an is also as many as one million due to the southward migration of the Central Plains population. There are many shops in the streets and lanes, and the morning market and night market are "buying and selling day and night". There are all kinds of hawkers and peddlers hawking, which adds to the lively atmosphere of the city. Night market is often an important tourist attraction in tropical and subtropical countries. In many parts of mainland China, Taiwan Province and Hongkong, night market is one of the important representatives of civilian life culture. At that time, Tokyo (Kaifeng) had become an unprecedented city that never sleeps in the world. There are many night markets, and there is a saying that "shops can't count the night markets". The famous night markets are: Zhouqiao Night Market, Xingjie Ma Night Market, Fanloumenqian Night Market, Zhuquemenwai Street Market, Panlou Hotel Xiaye Night Market, Tushizi East Street Night Market and so on. Among them, the State Bridge Night Market crosses the Imperial Road and faces the Bianhe River, and is located at the crossroads of land and water in Tokyo. Together with the spectacular State Bridge and the towering Mingyue Building, the scenery here is picturesque and tourists are woven, and there are more literati and poets singing poems about wine. Su Dongpo, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem, "Longjin watches the night market, and the lights are bright ... I don't know if the capital is noisy, so it is called the hometown of rivers and lakes". At that time, the largest and most prosperous night market in Tokyo was Xingjie Ma Night Market. Xingjie Ma is the seat of the imperial palace, and many people from the capital, public and private, are in and out of it, so the night market is full of knowledge even in snowstorms and rainy days, and its lights and lampblack make it difficult for gnats to stop. Cai Tiao, a Song Dynasty poet, recorded in "Talks on Tiewei Mountain": "There are bitter gnats all over the world, and Xingjie Ma is the only capital city without them. Xingjie Ma is the night market of the capital, and the restaurant is very prosperous. " "Dream of China in Tokyo" praised that "it is a hundred times more prosperous than Zhouqiao Night Market", and its bustling activity can be imagined, so that Xingjie Ma was so crowded that it could not stop. From this point of view, the scene of Tokyo night market was really spectacular. At that time, even in the corners of the back alley, even on snowy and rainy nights, the lights were shining, and the hawkers' rhyming cries could be clearly heard.

In night markets in different places, vendors will provide all kinds of local snacks or fast food. There are all kinds of snacks and fast food in the night market, which are basically some special snacks. Some places also have milk tea, hot drinks and cold drinks. Business district night market

mostly extends the business hours of the existing business district until late at night, and many merchants have their own or rented storefronts, which will also attract vendors to open business on the roadside. The advantage is that it helps the local business to flourish, and the disadvantage is that it is messy. In the metropolitan area, it is often the night market in the business circle because of the prosperous business and the difficulty in finding open space.

Sightseeing night market

If the night market in the business district is designed and planned by the government and matches the local characteristics to attract tourists, it is called sightseeing night market. Some sightseeing night markets operate in the same way as night markets in business districts (for example, Kaifeng Gulou Night Market), only to strengthen cleanliness and beautification; However, some of them build collective shopping malls, and merchants rent their own storefronts, which can improve the messy phenomenon of night markets in business districts (for example, Xiaobei Night Market).

Mobile night markets

are mostly open in urban areas or suburbs, and may be used as parking lots at ordinary times, and only open on specific days (such as Wednesdays and Fridays); Merchants are all vendors, arrive at the venue in the evening, and all are scattered after midnight. The advantage of this type of night market is that it is easy to clean and park, and it is fresh (the vendors are different every time), but the disadvantage is that it may affect the peace of neighboring homes. Mobile night markets are more common in rural areas, allowing businesses to wander between towns and villages in Taiwan Province. The only exception is Tainan City, a metropolis life circle. Although some sightseeing night markets are still open, most of them have declined. The quiet and large-scale mobile night market is more popular with local people and even becomes one of the sightseeing features. Grocery

China's cuisines were basically fixed in the Northern Song Dynasty, so we can't study China's catering without studying Kaifeng, and China's catering culture is in Henan and Kaifeng. Kaifeng night market, Confucius Temple in Nanjing, Dashilan in Beijing and Hubu Lane in Wuhan were the most prosperous snack places in the early Republic of China.
