During the Northern Song Dynasty (1021 AD), Fenghua suffered from drought and locust plagues for many years. Xiao Shixian, the Fenghua County Magistrate who lived a simple life and worked hard for the people, worked hard in the fields and died of overwork. The people were grateful for his kindness and built a temple at the place where he died to commemorate him. The courts of successive dynasties also allocated money to expand his temple and re-sculpt his statue. Finally, he was posthumously named "Suining King". Because of the name "Xiao Wang Temple", a temple fair was formed and became the name of a large market town in Fenghua City. It has a history of more than a thousand years. The Xiao Wang Temple Fair once had organizations such as temples and temple forts, and was held in turn by the temples and forts every year. It was held from the 13th to the 18th day of the first lunar month every year, lasting six days and six nights. The ceremonial procession during the temple fair is as follows: 1. Palace lanterns leading the way; 2. Banners commemorating the god Xiao Wang; 3. Flags and gongs leading the way; 4. Salutes along the way; 5. Four silence signs; 6. Offerings of a whole pig, a whole sheep, seven animals (pig head, sheep head, goose, duck, fish, longevity noodles, steamed buns), and a pair of pole boxes (with 24 bowls of dishes); 7. Two 100-jin candles; 8. People holding incense accompanying; 9. Fireworks team; 10. Band and 24 dragon dance teams. During the entire sacrificial period, the temple is brightly lit day and night, with pilgrims coming incessantly, and operas, storytelling, and juggling are performed in turn. In addition, the temple will also display many rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and exquisite handicrafts for people to enjoy. Outside the temple, you can buy and sell all kinds of local snacks, local specialties, etc., forming a large-scale folk custom activity that is both solemn and warm, both commemorative and entertaining, and can pray for social peace, land harvests, and prosperity of all industries. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this folk custom activity was stopped. In recent years, after removing some superstitious colors and enriching new content, temple fairs are gradually being restored.
