The article discusses how towns and villages in ancient China held temple fairs to honor different deities. These fairs were a way for communities to stay connected to their gods and also served as social and economic events. The researchers show how these fairs were a mix of religious worship, business activities, and displays of power. By studying these fairs, we can understand how relationships between urban and rural areas evolved during that time.
