The ancient fair south of the Wei River is also called the Guohui. It has a long history. It is said to have originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties, matured in the Tang and Song Dynasties, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and continues to this day. This custom is not only a distinctive symbol of the unique and distinctive cultural landscape of the vast rural areas in the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain, south of the Wei River, north of the Qinling Mountains, from Tongguan in the east to Baoji in the west, but also a flower that never fades on the loess land in the Weishui and Fengshui River basins between the ancient imperial capitals of Xianyang and Xi'an. Guohui is different from the Chinese New Year, and is also different from various traditional ancient fairs and temple fairs popular in other villages. It usually starts in early June of the lunar calendar and ends at the end of July, lasting two months. This period is the free time when the "three busy" (summer harvest, summer planting, and summer sowing) in rural areas are over and the autumn harvest has not yet arrived. In ancient times, due to the remote geographical location of the south bank of the Weihe River and the economic constraints at that time, transportation and information were not smooth. Local villagers used the free time from the end of the sixth lunar month after the "three busy days" to the arrival of autumn harvest to find good wives and good in-laws for their unmarried children or relatives and friends. They asked people to go to nearby villages and households to see whose sons were unmarried and whose women were unmarried. Then everyone sat together to collect and compare this information, select the ones they like, and then find a suitable opportunity to meet and propose marriage. Later, with the improvement of people's economic conditions and the expansion of information, various exchanges became more frequent, and this custom was gradually fixed. The time also developed from the disordered state at the beginning to the Wujiazhuang meeting on the first day of the sixth lunar month every year, and ended on the 30th of July at Huoshao Village, Wangjiazhuang and Beihuai Village. Each village has a fixed day, and mainly single days, such as the first, thirteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the month. In addition to matchmaking, the content also includes the exchange of information on agricultural production materials. For example, if someone's plow, hoe, shovel, etc. are idle, or someone's agricultural tools are in short supply, the two families will exchange, buy or sell them with each other. In this way, agricultural production materials are reasonably allocated and their maximum use value is brought into play in such constant idle chats. Today, with the increasing development of transportation and the diversification of information channels, the previous customs of matchmaking and agricultural material exchange have gradually been replaced by gatherings of relatives and friends to keep in touch. On the day of the festival, people from other villages all got up early, some as a family, some as a group of neighbors. They gathered together freely, holding bamboo baskets filled with "flower rolls" made of freshly harvested wheat, chatting and comparing with each other, to see whose steamed buns were bigger and whose were whiter. Their words were full of joy after the harvest. They came in groups of three or five, some in cars, some on bicycles, and some on foot, and everyone ran in one direction, to one village with laughter. The scene was lively and orderly, just like a market. The host family of the festival treated everyone the same, regardless of distance, closeness, or seniority. Everyone was happy to come and greeted them with a smile. As long as anyone could enter a door, the host would take out the aged wine and prepare delicious dishes, just waiting for the guests from afar to arrive so that everyone could sit together and share the joy of reunion. The guests chatted and entertained, sitting together on the kang and in the living room, and the whole host's house was filled with joy and laughter, and the atmosphere was peaceful and happy. At this time, the prejudices that people often say, "If a person is rich, he will be eaten by a dog" and "If a person is poor, he should not visit relatives, because visiting relatives is low-quality" disappeared, and people's feelings were like a crop field after the spring rain and a clean and intoxicating peach garden, so rich and pure. People on the south bank of the Wei River call the meeting "steamed bun meeting" and "reunion meeting" because it also contains the meaning of celebrating the harvest. And because of the original connotation and intention of the meeting on the south bank of the Wei River, many people on the north bank of the Wei River also call the meeting on the south bank of the Wei River "son-in-law meeting". The custom of the meeting did not escape the man-made disaster after liberation, and it almost disappeared during the ten-year Cultural Revolution. After the Cultural Revolution, it gradually became popular again. Today, with the deepening and further advancement of reform and opening up and urbanization, the villages on the south bank of the Wei River are facing overall demolition and reconstruction under the general environment of Xixian integration. The natural villages will inevitably be replaced by modern residential communities. Perhaps, in the near future, we can only get some memories of the thousands of years of the fair on the south bank of the Wei River from the mouths of the older generation and the yellowed pages of historical archives. Civilization cannot encircle history, but modern high-rise buildings can bury the cornerstone of history! The fair on the south bank of the Wei River has reached the point of endangerment, and it is in urgent need of effective protection and inheritance so that this unique folk culture form can continue.
