Xinle Temple Fair grand events in various photo studios?

There is a Fire Temple one mile southeast of the old city of Xinle County. The 28th day of the fourth lunar month every year is the temple fair day. Since it is almost the busy season of summer, most of the things sold at the temple fair are Summer harvest tools such as forks, rakes, brooms, sickles, and dustpans, and reed leaves for making rice dumplings. Later, cotton, thread and other agricultural products were traded.

Legend has it that one year a big red-faced old man came to the temple fair, holding a basket in his hand filled with red dates, fresh pears and oil-stained fire-smoked pancakes. He walked around the temple fair, mouthing He kept shouting loudly: "Jujubes, pears, big fire!" People came and looked at him, shaking their heads slightly: "Humph, such a weird old man, how can there be big fire of red dates, fresh pears and oil-soaked twists?" Sold together!" So, he hawked all morning, but no one bought anything from him. At this time, it was the scorching sun and very dry season. A smoker accidentally set the cotton on fire. The cotton attracted the thread, and the thread attracted the rake and broom. The whole temple fair became a sea of ????fire. Afterwards, people suddenly realized that the old man selling jujube pears and burning them in a big fire in the morning must be the god of fire who appeared and reminded everyone to "leave early and the fire will burn". Unfortunately, no one heard it. Afterwards, people fulfilled the wish of the old man and offered incense to the God of Fire every April 28th. As a result, the scale of the temple fair became larger and larger.

In recent years, the Huoshen Temple has become a meeting for farmers to exchange materials. The market has a large volume and a wide variety of products, especially the livestock market, wooden goods market, and department store and knitting market, attracting five or six provinces and cities. Vendors from various regions came to do business, with a footfall of more than 200,000 and a turnover of more than 900,000 yuan. Storytellers, singers, boxers, acrobats, circuses, and literary and artistic groups all came to perform, and it was very lively.
