2. Shangjiu Temple Fair. The ninth day of the first lunar month is the martyrdom day of the Tang Dynasty martyrs Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan. A temple fair is held every year in Yansi Town, Huizhou District, commonly known as "Shangjiu Fair". The meeting lasts for three days, starting on the eighth day of the lunar month and ending on the tenth day of the lunar month. During the temple fair, activities to visit and worship the gods were held, and stages were set up to perform operas. Vendors from all over the country also came to attend the fair and set up stalls, selling all kinds of agricultural and sideline products, agricultural tools, and daily necessities. Nowadays, "Shangjiuhui" has lost its original significance of commemorating Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan. The wandering gods activity has been cancelled, and it has become an annual material exchange meeting.
3. Zhongkui dance, a folk dance, also known as "Xi Zhongkui", is popular in Yansi Town, Huizhou District and Zhujia Village, She County. It is said that this custom existed during the Wanli period. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, these areas perform the "Zhongkui Play", which involves playing with puppets on their shoulders. Later, it evolved to people playing the role of Zhongkui, parading around the village. In recent years, this activity has been held every Dragon Boat Festival in Weotian Village, Zhengcun Town, She County, which is very lively.
