Now let’s talk about the development history of the ghost market; it was formed around , which was formed during the Tang Dynasty period, and during the Republic of China, it ushered in its own climax of development. With the development of time again, the ghost market also disappeared from sight again; around the 1980s, the ghost market represented by Beijing Panjiayuan appeared again in people’s sight, and the ghost market once again ushered in its own development period; and now, with the continuous development of the ghost market culture, it has gradually penetrated into various cities in our country. Today, I will introduce to you a ghost market in Taiyuan.

Taiyuan Ghost Market, also known as Taiyuan Nangong Antique Market. It was formerly known as Fuxiyuan, and was formed in 1996. According to the records of the information and the description of insiders, the overall scale of this market is relatively large. It is composed of North and South Street with a length of about 100 meters and East and West Street with a length of about 200 meters. At the same time, the items sold in these two streets are also different. The North and South Streets are basically dominated by old book stalls, and there are about 40 stalls in the overall setting; while East and West Streets are mainly antiques and stamps, stamps and coins. Here you can collect a lot of rare stamps, famous calligraphy and paintings, bronze porcelain, wooden ware, etc.;

Now let’s talk about the time of setting up stalls in the ghost market. Basically, the ghost market will appear on Saturdays and days, and it will also appear on normal times, but the scale is small. Moreover, due to different seasons, the time for stalls in the ghost market is also different. In summer, it is basically around 3 a.m. The city has basically become quiet at this point, and there are almost no people on the streets, so these stall owners begin to appear one after another; in winter, it is about five or six o'clock; whether in winter or summer, both have a unified characteristic, that is, the dark time, and as the sun rises, the stall owners in the ghost market gradually disperse, and the ghost market disappears, as if nothing has ever happened.

Maybe when someone sees this, what do you rely on to illuminate the stall in the early morning? Will there be street lights? Not that the Ghost City basically comes with its own lighting equipment. In ancient times, kerosene lamps were basically the main ones, but now most of them were flashlights and desk lamps. However, for some reasons, the lighting equipment was very dim. From a distance, it looked like ghost fires floating in the middle of the road, so it also had the origin of the name of Ghost City.

Today, when street stall culture is constantly emerging, the ghost market is gradually becoming accepted by people; and its appearance has also added some mysterious color to Taiyuan; at the same time, its appearance has also saved many people. Many wealthy children who are unable to let go of their pride and have lost their family have obtained money by selling goods here and met their needs; and some Taobao users are also picking up bargains here and realizing their dream of getting rich. At the same time, the audience of Taiyuan Ghost Market is also very wide. It is said that people from Beijing and other places often come to this Ghost Market to hunt for treasures. Of course, it is unknown whether it is true or false.
