Definition
书市 refers to a book fair or book market — a temporary or periodic event where books are sold, often at discounted prices. Unlike a permanent bookstore (书店), a 书市 is typically held in a large venue like a convention center or public square, and may include author signings, lectures, and other literary activities. It's a cultural event as much as a shopping opportunity.
