What this event is
Well, one of the important traditional events in my hometown is Temple Fair, which is now a mass gathering of entertainment and commerce.
When it happens
The Temple Fair in my hometown has a very long history, probably dating from Ming and Qing dynasties. And now it usually occurs from the first to the seventh day of the first month on the lunar calendar.
Who participates in this event and what they do
The Fair attracts a lot of people. Some are going to sell something, most of which are traditional arts and crafts, while others just go there for fun. There will be feature dragon and lion dances, waist drum dancing, as well as other folk performances, and even some staged traditional wedding ceremonies. Besides, you can taste numerous kinds of local snacks and dishes. Acrobatics and other performers are on hand to keep the crowds entertained throughout the day.
and explain how you feel about this event.
For me, I like the Temple Fairs because there are so many games to play, food to eat and performances to appreciate. But whats more important, it is definitely a cultural experience, and allows one to see Chinese cultures from a very detailed perspective.
