On September 30th, the Anhui Guzhen Guyang Supply and Marketing Fair officially opened at Guyang Ancient Site Park. This grand event, which combines thousand-year historical heritage with the warmth of northern Anhui's marketplace culture, not only energized citizens and tourists during the National Day holiday but also provided a vivid example of high-quality regional development through the deep integration of agriculture, culture, tourism, and commerce.
At 10 AM, the main venue's opening ceremony commenced as scheduled. Lion dancers leaped and swayed to the rhythm of gongs and drums, conveying the auspicious meaning of "prosperous markets and healthy citizens." The venue resonated with applause and cheers, creating a lively market atmosphere.
The Guyang Supply and Marketing Fair serves as both a cultural platform for exploring northern Anhui's folk traditions and preserving intangible cultural heritage, as well as a livelihood platform connecting urban and rural supply and demand while activating holiday economy. The fair brings together premium resources from Huaibei, Fuyang, Huangshan, and other regions, showcasing thousands of agricultural products, specialty foods, and intangible cultural heritage creative items. This satisfies citizens' desire for "local atmosphere" while using consumption as a bridge to promote regional coordination and rural revitalization.
At various stalls, citizens stopped to inquire about local specialty stories and select their preferred goods. The bustling figures moving through the market brought northern Anhui's local atmosphere to life. These warm everyday scenes embody the "Guyang Supply and Marketing Fair" brand concept and reflect the original planning intention of "normalized operations and branded development" – transforming "market visits" from one-time holiday experiences into a sustainable platform that carries emotional connections and serves people's better lives.
Continuous intangible cultural heritage performances throughout the day allowed cultural heritage to be renewed amidst the local atmosphere. Lion eye-dotting ceremonies awakened traditional ritual significance, while the brilliant sparks of iron flower performances lit up the night sky. Era shows and nostalgic golden songs evoked collective memories. Intangible cultural heritage is no longer static "old craftsmanship" but transforms into tangible, immersive experiences, allowing northern Anhui's regional cultural heritage to continue its renewal in contemporary life.
