After years, why do ordinary people still like "street stalls" so much?

With the policy reform, spread the economy? Fire again. Ordinary people prefer very grounded to gorgeous and eye-catching boutique houses? Stall? It seems that such consumption can make people find the initial happiness. After a hard day's work, I went to the stall at night to kill my fatigue and enrich my boring life. Without considering the great pressure of work and life, we sat back to our original selves in the alley of Debt Street.

This popular form of consumption actually appeared as early as ancient China and lasted for thousands of years. The earliest form of street stall is called market, which means market and refers to the ridge in the field. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the well-field system was implemented, and people brought all their belongings to the fields to trade with each other, much like today's stall economy. And the famous Jiang Taigong, also participated in this market. According to historical records, in his early years, Jiang Taigong lived in poverty and made a living by setting up stalls.

After Shang and Zhou Dynasties, all dynasties naturally followed the market system. However, from the Warring States to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the market system was strictly restricted and renamed as the Fang Shi system. All trading activities are limited to a specific range and can only be traded for a specific limited time. Despite repeated control, street stalls still exist in various dynasties with their super vitality and continue to this day.

The stall economy can exist for thousands of years, and there must be strong operating rules behind it. In fact, the stall economy reflects the consumption concept of China people. China has the traditional virtue of diligence and thrift from the beginning, but the cost of each transaction is relatively small. Low price and small items can not only satisfy people's consumption desire, but also the cost is within an acceptable range. A wide variety of items can stimulate consumers to spend many times, which is one of the important reasons why the stall economy can last for a long time. It is precisely because of the stall economy that many people without technology or skills have an extra means to make a living, which can be said to be beneficial in many ways.
