People in Northeast China mostly enjoy boisterousness. At temple fairs here, children love making dough figurines, playing piying (traditional Chinese shadow puppets) and kongzhu (or diabolo), and having tanghulu (sugar-coated fruits on sticks). Adults prefer gathering to watch loong and lion dances, gaoqiao (or stilt walking), yangge (or yangko, a Chinese folk dance), xiangsheng (or crosstalk) and dagu (or drum opera), as well as to strike the bell for blessings as the auspicious time comes. Over centuries, the hustle and bustle of the temple fairs remain the same, now featuring food such as popcorn made by hand-operated machines, freshly-ground tofu, frozen pears in basins, pickled vegetables in large jars, and cellophane candies. When in Northeast China’s temple fairs, why not do as Northeasterners do?
