More than ten kilometers north of Yangchun City, there is a tributary of the Moyang River, called Gaoliu River. The river originates from the southwest valley of Wudianmei Peak in the southeast of Heshui Town. The river is 17.7 kilometers long and flows into the Moyang River from east to west. After years of silting up of quicksand, the banks of the Gaoliu River have formed a vast sandy beach. A bridge spans the north and south, and the Gaoliu River Market was opened here. According to the Wanli County Chronicles of the Ming Dynasty, "Gaoliu Market is 22 miles west of the city, in the south of Niulanwan (next to the Gaoliu River Bridge in Heshui Town, 12 kilometers away from the county seat), in front of Huilong Temple (now abandoned), there are no shops, and the market is held on the fourth day of the fifth lunar month and the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month every year." The market on July 14 was abandoned after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The main reason is that it was the "Ghost Festival" on that day. The people believed that the market was only held in the morning and the market was closed in the middle of the day. The time was short and it was very inconvenient to go back and forth, so only the market on the fourth day of the fifth lunar month was retained every year. The market mainly trades iron, bamboo, and wooden agricultural tools. In the 16th year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1588), "Gaoliu Market" was recorded in the "Yangchun County Chronicles". The water of Gaoliu River gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and flows with magical legends: on the opening day of the market, bamboo and wooden products soaked in the water of Gaoliu River will never be infested by insects; children who bathe in the water of Gaoliu River on the market day will not get prickly heat; it will rain in the afternoon of Gaoliu Market; you must go to Gaoliu Market for three consecutive years to bring good luck; unmarried men and women who make an appointment to go to the market will mostly get married; you must go to Gaoliu Market as early as possible, and the last person to leave the market in the afternoon will die, etc. These legends make Gaoliu River Market a well-known "strange market", and also add a lot of mystery and attraction to Gaoliu Ancient Market, providing a living specimen for understanding and studying the existence significance and influence of Gaoliu Market on local culture, economy, production and life. Gaoliu River Market, a wild market, pioneered commercial culture and is held once a year on schedule. Every day before the Dragon Boat Festival, market goers from the neighboring counties of Xinxing, Luoding, Yunfu, Yangjiang, Enping, and the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan gather here to use the Gaoliu River Market as a platform to trade goods. As time goes by, the scale of Gaoliu Market continues to expand, the variety of goods increases year by year, and its functions keep pace with the times and become more diversified. The reputation and influence of the ancient market are well-known, the market is very popular, and people from all directions come to the market. It is an unprecedented grand occasion and can be called a wonderful flower of Yangchun folk commercial culture. Gaoliu Ancient Market is a historical product. It has important historical value for studying the history of Yangchun, the customs and habits of the society in each era after the market was built, and the development of productivity.
