Jieshou Temple Fair, also known as the "February 2nd Dragon Head-raising" Temple Fair, is a traditional custom of Jieshou Street in Quanjiao County. It is said that in a certain year during the Western Han Dynasty, Jieshou suffered from a long drought and the people were living in poverty. An old Taoist wandered here and was moved by compassion. He meditated under a century-old ginkgo tree and performed rituals for 49 days. On the second day of the second lunar month, he finally awakened the dragon that had been sleeping for three years, and Jieshou began to have good weather and good harvests. The well-fed villagers built a temple to commemorate the old Taoist, and the temple was completed on the second day of the second lunar month. From then on, every year on this day, people from all over the country came to the temple to worship the old Taoist and exchange some small farm tools and seeds. This custom gradually evolved into the February 2nd Dragon Head-raising Temple Fair, which has been passed down to this day. During the temple fair, Jieshou Street was crowded with people and lively; every household set off firecrackers and set up banquets. The temple fair not only exhibits various forms of folk art from eastern Anhui, but also trades in exquisitely handmade daily utensils made by farmers. After more than 2,000 years of vicissitudes, the Jieshou temple fair has now become a grand event for the exchange of materials for spring ploughing and a spring ploughing carnival for the people of Dongxiang, Quanjiao.
