The material exchange meeting evolved from the traditional temple fair and is generally organized and managed by the government. In the era of material shortage, its main function is to facilitate farmers' shopping and agricultural information exchange, providing convenience and benefits for rural farmers. However, with the progress and development of social economy, the role of material exchange is getting smaller and smaller, and its negative effects are becoming increasingly prominent, mainly in the following aspects:

First, it has a great impact on public security, traffic, fire protection and other safety aspects. There are many people and cars in the material exchange meeting, which is a great test for public security, transportation and fire control. Buddhist temple exchange conference area is located in an industrial park, involving dozens of enterprises, and the safe passage of enterprises is blocked, which also affects the normal production of enterprises.

Second, at present, Fotang Town is carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction, and several main passages are being built, which is also very inconvenient for the exchange meeting.

Third, in the exchange meeting, some commodities were of low grade, mixed quality and even inferior fakes. Because the stall owners at the exchange meeting are all foreigners and mobile operators, it is difficult for consumers to defend their rights after buying the problematic goods. The number of people who complain to the industrial and commercial bureau increases sharply every year.

Fourth, shopping is very convenient, and the role of promoting commodity exchange has been lost. Now clothing stores, specialty stores, food streets, etc. It is very convenient in Fotang town and meets the needs of the masses.

Fifth, the voice of local people demanding the cancellation of the material exchange meeting is getting higher and higher. At present, the wind of "practicing economy and opposing extravagance and waste" is spreading all over the country. We should implement "changing customs and advocating new styles". At present, there are more and more places all over the province that have stopped the exchange meeting, not only Buddhist temples, other towns and streets in Yiwu, but also other surrounding counties and cities are canceling the exchange meeting. For example, the Pujiang exchange meeting was cancelled the year before last. This year, the town government obtained the opinions of many local village cadres and ordinary people, and held a forum to inform them in advance. Judging from the actual effect of canceling the exchange meeting, most people understand and support it.
