Some wa market plazas could hold thousands. With the wa markets, performers grew very busy and honed their skills. Performances included the telling of stories and riddles, singing in various styles, variety shows, and puppet and shadow puppet shows.
許多瓦市，最大可容數千人，由於瓦市的發展，民間藝人大為活躍，技藝也不斷提高，市人演說小說、講史和小唱，儲宮調、雜劇與雜班，傀儡戲、影戲和喬影戲、商謎，花樣繁多。
