The temple originated around the temple, so called "temple"; and because of the vendors to see the burning incense to worship Buddha more, outside the temple set up a variety of

Beijing Temple Fair

type stalls to make money, and gradually become a regular activity, so called "will". The "meeting" was called "meeting". Over time, the "temple fair" has evolved into a recreational activity for people during the festivals, especially during the Spring Festival.
