Research on the Functional Transformation of Yanguan Mules and Horses Market from the Perspective of Rural Revitalization
Rural markets play an important economic,social,and cultural role in traditional Chinese society.With the transformation of China's social structure and economic system,rural markets are facing numerous challenges of urbanization development.The Yanguan Mule and Horse Market,located in Longnan,Gansu Province,enjoys the reputation of being the largest livestock market in the northwest.It has a profound his-torical and cultural heritage,and its traditional functions are stable.However,its cultural and social functions have not been fully explored and expanded.With the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy,rural markets are facing both challenges in functional transformation and new opportunities.In the face of the comprehensive revitalization of rural industries,talents,culture,ecology,and organizations,the functional transformation of the Yanguan Mule and Horse Market should be based on its own characteristics and advan-tages,strengthen cultural inheritance and innovation,vigorously develop industrial integration,improve mar-ket services and management levels,and better respond to the overall transformation and development of ru-ral society under the background of modernization of service.
