Yesterday, Quanzhou 353 registered for newcomers!

Morning Post (Reporter Gong Cuiling Zhuang Lixiang intern Zheng Zhongyu Correspondent Sun Yuqiong) Yesterday was the seventh day of the lunar calendar, and the Chinese traditional festival was the Tanabata Festival. The reporter learned from the Civil Affairs Bureau of Quanzhou that as of 18:00 yesterday, a total of 353 newcomers registered for marriage. Compared with the 1924 pair on May 20 this year, the number of registered marriage is greatly reduced.

In the morning, the reporter went to the marriage registration offices in the two districts of Licheng and Fengze respectively. The on -site layout of the Marriage Registration Office of Fengze District has set up some game punch card draws at the door. When the newcomer's certificate is over, the staff and volunteers at the scene will guide the newcomer to the game area to interact, and after the game, they can also participate in the raffle.

Yesterday, there were very few people who came to the marriage registration for two marriage registrations. According to the staff at the site, there are fewer newcomers who receive the certificate of the Qixi Festival this year than usual. Almost all of them throughout July may be related to the traditional customs of southern Fujian. Everyone prefers to choose "February 14" and "May 20". But in fact, every day is a good day. The key to a happy marriage is to operate with the heart. Newcomers need to choose the registration time rationally.

Mr. Yang was from Sichuan. Because the materials were not fully brought, he ran two times yesterday morning to get a marriage certificate, and his face showed a sweet smile. Mr. Yang said that it is double romance and convenient memory as a wedding anniversary. Another new couple said that he did not choose to receive a certificate at the Qixi Festival, but when the time arrived, he came to apply.

"There are few people who have registered marriage in the Qixi Festival, which is inseparable from the traditional customs of Quanzhou." Hong Hong, a researcher at the Fujian Folk Literature Exchange Center, introduced that Quanzhou has been in the middle of more than one month before and after the Chinese New Year (July 15th). There are Pudu customs. During this time, the big things such as getting married, building houses, renovation, moving, etc. are not appropriate. In addition, in the southern Fujian, the Qixi Festival does not show off the love show. On this night, the incense table should be placed. The girl prays for the cleverness of the mind and pray for a good marriage.
