About five or six hundred years ago, there was a "big gathering" in Gaoya, which always followed the practice of "every five in ten rows." Then there was a mountain gathering, twice a year. The 30th day of March in Chunshan and the 5th day of October in Qiushan have been going on for hundreds of years. The market has grown bigger and bigger, and the village has become bigger and bigger. Now it has become a famous tourist attraction far and wide.

After more than 600 years of ups and downs, Guanyin Pavilion has become a landmark building in Gaoya and is now a key cultural relic protection unit.

The Weizi Wall, also known as the old city wall, has witnessed the changes in various historical periods. The bullet holes from the Anti-Japanese War still remain on the city wall.

Gaoya Street is like a big ship, Minglou and Guanyin Pavilion are like the masts on the ship. Gaoya Street is surrounded by water, with mountains on one side and ridges on the west, like an eternal ship. Like a big ship that sets sail, carrying full blessings, it has developed generations of Gaoya people, and their descendants are prosperous. Even the big locust tree in the village is more than 600 years old.

During the three years of natural disasters, Gaoya Reservoir created a sweet water source with the hard work of hundreds of thousands of working people in Changle County and Linqu County, as well as the heroic spirit of fighting against heaven and earth. There was a slogan at that time , "Split the saddle to move Guishan, cut off the Wen River to irrigate the fertile farmland" After nearly a year of hard work, we completed this major water conservancy project that has made great achievements in contemporary times and will benefit future generations. The dam is connected to Guishan at the north end of Anqiu Mountain in the south and Gaoya in the north. The Shushanzi is a natural barrier, impregnable.

Every time we go to the Gaoya Mountain Fair, every family has customers, every household has wine, and people from all over the country come to attend the mountain fair. Naturally, the mountain fair is also very lively, with opera singers, jugglers, and tricks performers. Yes, those who sing poor things, those who tell stories, those who sing single strings, those who stand at stalls asking for money, those who fight, those who deliver water, those who sell cakes, those who sell noodles, those who open old soup pots, those who sell dog meat, those who shave their heads, those who shave their faces, There are all kinds of things, and there are all kinds of surprises. Naturally, going to Gaoyashan is regarded as the two major events in the Spring and Autumn Period. People in nearby villages put down their work and make time to go to Gaoyashan. But in the past, it was not easy to have a drink when you were poor, so there is a saying in Gaoya Street dialect that drinking means a good Shanhui.

The general meaning is that on the day of the Gaoya Mountain Fair, the rich and those doing business all go to attend the mountain fair, while the poor ones bask in the sun at the base of the south wall to catch lice. Some good people I asked why you didn't go to the mountain party. The person who was asked said that you should go home and drink. If you have wine, it is a good mountain party.

As time went by, this sentence spread in Gaoya. In fact, this sentence is not a complimentary word, but a derogatory word. However, regardless of whether it is a complimentary word or a derogatory word, it has become a famous saying to this day. . If you have wine, it’s a good mountain party!
