Where is the dog market in Changchun?

Dog market is located in Caijia Village, Qingnian Road, east of Changchun City.

There is an old saying in Hebei: "Business will be done in the market." This means that fairs and meetings are all about buying and selling. There is some truth in this statement, but it is not complete. The meeting is the "temple fair", which is often referred to as the material exchange meeting today. Its content, before wheat, mainly deals with farm tools such as power, harrows and brooms, and after autumn, mainly deals with large livestock such as cattle, horses and mules.

During the period, folk art performances with rich local flavor were interspersed. But the "fair" is a veritable commercial transaction, which generally takes a short time, ranging from one day to half an hour. The timing of the trade fair is very important, so the word "hurry" is added in front of it. Due to the wide variety of products in Hebei Province, fair trade has been relatively developed.

The market originated from the gathering and trading of people in prehistoric times, and later it often appeared in religious festivals, commemorative gatherings and holy places, and was often accompanied by folk entertainment activities. In medieval Europe, markets were often held in church yards during religious festivals. A market often mainly deals in certain commodities, such as cheese market.

In some regions and countries with underdeveloped economy and difficult transportation, commodity exchange still retains the form of regular fairs or fairs held on traditional festivals. Except for a few large and medium-sized cities in ancient China, there were "grass market" and "stone sea" fairs held regularly in many areas. So far, this traditional form of trade organization still exists in many provinces and regions of China, especially in the north and southwest.
