The market is a commercial area where villagers trade products and obtain means of living and production. With the development of commodity economy in Guizhou in Qing dynasty, the market trade became more and more active, resulting in a large flow of people and complex personnel, place disorder, economic disputes and other problems. Both the government and the people responded, but the official government, to a large extent, could not fully respond, and would often turn to the people to mediate disputes. The gentry organized league training and the businessmen spontaneously formed trade groups to make up for the lack of official response to a certain extent.
