The temple fair is a kind of social activity in China. Legend has it that it originated in ancient times when people offered sacrificed to the village god, which later gradually evolved into a marketplace for people to exchange products and a place for culture performance.
The temple fair, usually on the open ground in or near a temple, is held on festive or specified days. Some are held only during the Spring Festival. Although different places hold their temple fair at various dates, the contents are similar. Farmers and merchants sell their farm produce, local specialties, and antique, jade articles, flowers, birds and fish; craftsmen set up their stalls to show and sell their handicrafts and specialty snacks, giving the temple fair a bustling atmosphere.
廟會是中國民間的一種社會活動，據說起源於古代的祭祀土地神，以後逐漸變成了一種民間物品交流的集市和文化表演的場所。
廟會一般設在寺廟裏和寺廟附近的空場上，在節日或規定的日子舉辦。有的只在每年春節期間舉辦。雖然各地舉辦廟會的時間不同，但基本內容都差不多。廟會期間，農戶、商販帶自己生產的農產品、土特產和從各處收集來的古玩玉器、花鳥魚蟲、到廟會上進行交易；各路手藝人設攤展賣民間工藝品和特色小吃；民間藝人搭臺表演歌舞曲藝……逛廟會的老百姓喜氣洋洋地趕來買賣物品，觀看表演，品嘗小吃，真是非常熱鬧。
