At these book fairs, whose main purpose is trade in publishing rights, the buyers and sellers are much like the "peddlers" or "traders" of ancient times: on the one hand selling their own wares, and on the other checking around to see whether or not there are any products worth picking up, with the two sides haggling face to face, negotiating conditions, and building friendly relationships.
在這些以版權交易為目的的書展上，買、賣雙方如同古代「趕集人」，一面推銷自己的貨色，一面搜尋有無值得採購的商品，雙方面對面喊價、談條件，並建立情誼。
