Baofeng County is the "Hometown of Chinese Magic". It originated in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and has a long history of magic culture. In Zhaozhuang Town, Baofeng County, everyone from 70-year-old men to 6-year-old children can improvise two sets of tricks. While people are intoxicated by the magic of magic, Zhaozhuang Town's cultural industry, which is mainly based on magic performances, has blossomed all over the country and has become a real, visible and tangible pillar industry. In recent years, relying on magic culture, Zhaozhuang Town has embarked on an innovative path of "farmers create culture, and culture benefits farmers". Using the "magic +" cultural format, a small commodity market and a rural book wholesale market have been built in Dahuang Village, creating an economic income of 1.5 billion yuan for the village every year and driving 130,000 jobs across the country. The town actively revives local magic and creates a "new magic town". There are more than 20 professional folk magic performance groups and more than 180 practitioners; more than 60 "magic performance + commodity sales" groups and more than 800 practitioners.
