Prostitution Festival, also known as Fairy Meeting Festival and Turning over Festival, is a local folk and religious festival in Dongkeng Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province.

Prostitution Festival originated in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and the second day of the second lunar month is the prostitution festival every year. This festival has become a local cultural festival in Dongguan. In Dongkeng Town, Dongguan, a grand festival is held on this day every year, schools are closed, and many people go to the streets to play.

As an ancient folk culture of the Han nationality, the origin of this festival-Prostitution Festival, is said to be a festival where immortals come to inspect people's feelings, observe people's feelings and help the poor. Therefore, people often gather in the square on the second day of the second lunar month to show themselves, so that immortals can observe the truth, goodness and beauty of the world more truly and "seek medical advice". Over time, it became a festival, named "Prostitution Festival", also called "Fairy Meeting Festival". Later, people competed to splash water and shoot water in the street for fun, and they were integrated with the Water Splashing Festival. Since then, the "Prostitution Festival" in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, which lasted for hundreds of years, has become a unique local cultural heritage and an intangible cultural heritage in Guangdong Province, and is deeply loved by the people.

According to festival legend, the "Prostitution Festival" came from Chuncun Village, Dongkeng, and a large family named Lu started farming before Tomb-Sweeping Day. On the second day of the second lunar month, a notice was posted in front of Tangchun Village to recruit long-term workers. Since then, it has become a habit for young people who have no land to sit on the fence in front of Tanglipu village on the second day of February, wearing hats and coarse towels, showing their "prostitution" and selling their labor force, waiting for the rich man to hire them. On this day, rich people who own land go to Tanglipu village to select young adults who are willing to "sell themselves" and release cowboys for one year, which is called "selling themselves".

As a result, many stories about "meeting immortals" spread from this treasure house: it is said that on this day, immortals from the sky descended to Dongkeng to watch "selling themselves" and do good deeds to save all beings. For example: Curly hair grinding arms, straight fishhooks, golden hoes, the story of Dong Zi, the dumping of sugar, cloudy days will also be fine. It's amazing, so some people call it "Meeting the Fairy Festival". The more you spread it, the more amazing it is. As a result, on the second day of February, there were a sea of people on both sides of Xiaohe and Dumuqiao, and merchants from far and near gathered in Dongkeng. Far away provinces, Buddhas, Chens and Dragons all traveled by boat, and even nearby villages came on foot, saying that they wanted to see immortals. This is an unprecedented event. When leaving, everyone should buy an item to take back to show that they met a fairy and came back with good luck. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, until now.
