Temple Fair The most important holiday for the Chinese is the Chinese New Year, also called the Spring Festival. During the festival period, everyone goes back to their hometown and spends several days with family, and people hold many celebrations. Beijing has several fairs during the period. The fairs are held at various ancient temples, so they are called "temple fairs." Temple fairs, originated along with the development of Buddhist and Taoist activities, are a kind of mass gatherings that integrate religious worship, entertainment and commerce. Temple fairs in Beijing have a very long history, and saw a boom especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911) as well as the Republic of China (1912-1949). Major temples all have their own festivals, some of which are held regularly. During the Spring Festival, temple fair is one of the most important activities, and a traditional cultural event that features all kinds of Chinese folk art. So far, there have been more than 10 major temple fairs held each year in Beijing. In traditional temple fairs around Beijing, there are performances and booths demonstrating and selling traditional arts and crafts. The fairs have lots of games to play, food to eat, performances and lots of people. In the temple fair you can taste numerous kinds of local snacks, court food and other dishes. Most temple fairs feature dragon and lion dances, waist drum dancing, lotus blossom fairy dances, ground and clam dancing as well as other folk performances, and some even stage traditional wedding ceremonies. In rural areas, the temple fair is an excellent opportunity to capture some color in an otherwise fairly drab country. For foreigners, temple fair is definitely a cultural experience, because it airs Chinese cultures from a very detailed perspective. While enjoying the samplings of Chinese delicacies, you can appreciate craftsmanship and artworks displayed by local artisans

temple fair 请看《中国日报》的报道：Chinese still love visiting temple fairs during Spring Festival but organizers are adding more color and dimension to the events to keep pace with the times.春节期间，中国人还是喜欢去逛逛庙会。不过今年的庙会的形式和内容都扩展了很多，紧跟时代步伐。上面的报道里，temple fair 就是春节期间大家都喜欢逛的“庙会”，我们平时所说的“民俗庙会”就可以用 temple fair of folk custom 来表示。Fair 在这里表示“市集”，village fair 是“农村集市”，go to a fair 就是“赶集”了。Fair 这个词在很多场合都表示“展览会、交易会”，比如 China Import and Export Fair（中国进出口商品交易会），也就是我们知道的 Canton Fair （广交会），book fair（书展），industrial fair（工业品展销会）等。

People always celebrate on the day of the Spring Festival, and CCTV holds a party on TV which is faced to all the people of the whole China. And at that time we are always making and eating dumplings before TV, enjoying the wonderful performance and eating delicious dumplings. Otherwise, now we also have new way to celebrate out special day--sending messages, that is, we use our moble phone to send messages to our good friends. It is convience because we can just move our fingures to send our wishes to our friend nomatter where they are now. I think it is very cheap and convience, maybe one day we can use our moblephone to watch the party of the Spring Festival. That will be our next popular way for celecbrating our characteristic festival!
