The event is said to originate from a prestigious folk artist in the village, whose many disciples gathered to celebrate his birthday in 1316. The birthday celebration later evolved into a folk art fair, when folk artists from across the country gathered in the village to take part in the event. In 2006, the Majie Quyi Fair was inscribed on the first national intangible cultural heritage list. (Xinhua/Hao Yuan)
