Since 2009, Hebi City has held four China (Hebi) Folk Culture Festivals, focusing on promoting the Spring Festival culture and relying on the first month ancient temple fair in Xunxian County, attracting a large number of tourists from home and abroad. This year, the fifth China (Hebi) Folk Culture Festival will further integrate regional folk culture resources, focus on displaying the folk culture of the Central Plains, and create a festive, joyful and peaceful holiday atmosphere, making it a unique classic folk festival in the Central Plains.

The theme of the 5th China (Hebi) Folk Culture Festival is "Enjoy the folk customs of the Central Plains, visit the Millennium Temple Fair and enjoy the Spring Festival feast". During the Folk Culture Festival, Hebi arranged a series of cultural activities, commodity exchange activities and investment promotion activities, which were larger in scale and richer in content than previous ones.

According to the Records of Daishan, the history of Xunxian Temple Fair can be traced back to the post-Zhao period when Daishan carved stone Buddha, with a history of 1600 years. Fairy-seeking temple fair starts from the first day of the first month and ends on the second day of February. Temple fairs have three climaxes every year, the first day, the ninth day and the fifteenth day. On the first day of junior high school, there is a custom of "climbing to pray for blessings" and "dispelling all diseases"; Legend has it that the ninth day is the birthday of the Jade Emperor, and there are folk customs of performing social fire and offering sacrifices to the gods. Fifteen or sixteen is the Lantern Festival. From the first day to the fifteenth day, the temple fair wave after wave, and gradually reached its climax. Xunxian Temple Fair is a large-scale temple fair, which has maintained the characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It attracts 3 million tourists from more than 40 cities and counties in five neighboring provinces every year, and the passenger flow reaches 500,000 in peak hours.
