Huishan Temple Fair is the most prosperous on the 28th day of the third lunar month, when the Dongyue Temple Fair is held. This day is the birthday of Huang Feihu, the Emperor of Dongyue. The masters in the eight temples in the east, west, south and north districts of Wuxi all go to Huishan to pay homage, commonly known as "the meeting of the old master". According to local chronicles, the Huishan Temple Fair originated in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Wuxi was prosperous in all industries and the civil society was quite typical. In particular, the rise of modern national industrialists and businessmen and their active participation in civic cultural activities have made the Huishan Temple Fair reach its peak. The industry associations and industrialists in various districts organized eight "master" parade teams to compete for the victory and march to the Dongyue Temple of Huishan in turn. The streets and alleys along the way and the two sides of the river are all bustling. Each parade team represents the "master" of the temple gods distributed in various districts. The props are colorful, the strings, bamboo, gongs and drums resound through the sky, and the various performances are both civil and martial. It is a grand display of the folk culture of Jiangnan. After 1994, the Huishan Temple Fair was restored and was well-liked by local people and tourists from other places. Wuxi Huishan Temple Fair evolved from the La Festival in the Zhou and Qin Dynasties. It was originally mainly for worshiping gods, and later developed into a temple fair folk activity integrating food, accommodation, transportation, travel, entertainment, shopping, and religious culture. During the temple fair, people can not only taste Wudi special snacks and appreciate Wudi folk crafts, but also see situational dramas with strong Wudi cultural colors.
