The origin and significance of rushing to the scene

The origin of the fair comes from the exchange of materials between ancient people, and its significance lies in facilitating the circulation and trade of businessmen specializing in buying and selling in various markets.

In western Hunan, the place to catch a play is generally the economic and cultural center of the township. Different towns and villages have different customs, and the performance dates are also different. Some of them are "three, six, nine" or "one, four, seven" or "two, five, eight", once every ten days. Rushing for the exam means that when people exchanged materials in ancient times, because there was no fixed date and place and no unified standard, one party often suffered. Therefore, people all hope to have a formal fair and reasonable trading place, which is convenient for businessmen who specialize in buying and selling to circulate and trade in various markets.

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, two famous politicians, Lu Jia and Chen Ping, proposed that the official order stipulated that every village and town should go to the market every ten days to exchange materials, and a notary was set up at the market to bid for evaluation, thus forming a primitive trade market.

Matters needing attention when arriving at the scene

1, choose light transportation. The best thing is bicycles, the market is crowded, driving is absolutely impossible, and electric cars can't ride fast.

2. Put on the most ordinary clothes. In fact, many people will decide the price of vegetables according to their clothes. If you dress well, the price will be higher.

3. Bring changes to the market. Don't think that it is enough to bring a mobile phone, and Alipay will pay for it. Actually, it's not.

4. Shop around before buying. Don't buy what you want. In fact, the prices in the market vary greatly.

5, do not show off wealth, do not entangle. Don't show off your money to others. There are many rich people, and you are old. Besides, don't go to the fair if you have money.
