Zifang Mountain is named after Zhang Liang, a great man in the Han Dynasty. The Zifang Mountain Temple Fair is a traditional folk activity that integrates sacrifice, singing and dancing, entertainment, and commerce. It is a commemorative worship activity for Zhang Zifang, which was born from the integration of the primitive rain-praying and harvest-praying activities of successive dynasties, and then Buddhist beliefs were added. The temple fair integrates Buddhism, Taoist culture, folk beliefs and customs in ancient times, and folk market trade. It is a large-scale comprehensive exhibition of local politics, economy, folk variety cultural activities, and folk handicrafts. It is a living fossil display with folk cultural characteristics in traditional culture. The Zifang Mountain Temple Fair began in the Ming Dynasty, developed and flourished in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. After the founding of New China, the temple fair activities continued to be carried out normally, stopped during the Cultural Revolution, and gradually resumed after the end of the Cultural Revolution. After the restoration of religious policies in 1986, the temple fair gradually developed with the spontaneous participation of the people. In the early period of restoration, it was only the scale of a rural market. Although the number of people attending the fair has gradually increased in recent years, the former prosperity and prosperity has become a thing of the past. The Zifangshan Temple Fair is held at Zifangshan in Xuzhou. The fair lasts for three days, with the main meeting on May 19th of the lunar calendar.

It is also the oldest temple fair in the history of Xuzhou. It carries a large number of folk customs and has always been the focus of Xuzhou folklorists. The Zifang Mountain Temple Fair is a "custom painting" of folk customs from generation to generation, and plays an important role in witnessing the excellent cultural traditions of the nation.
