View on the Development of Country Fairs of Fuzhou in Ming and Qing Dynasties

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the country fairs in Fuzhou surpassed those of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta of the same period in both number and scale. Some of the major fairs of the Qing Dynasty in Fuzhou, which became key commercial cities and towns, had developed since the Ming Dynasty. Despite their number and scale, these fairs, unlike those in the Yangtze River and the Pearl River Deltas, never brought about the factors for the growth of large numbers of industrial and commercial towns and capitalism. Instead, they only stabilized the natural economy of feudalism.
