2.14 Valentine's Day is "hot" and "overcrowded" not only western restaurants, movie theaters, but also marriage registration offices. There are many couples who choose to work together for life on this special day to achieve positive results...
According to statistics, the marriage registration offices in Shenzhen ushered in the first small peak of marriage registration in the Year of the Tiger on February 14. In order to make a lifelong promise on this special day, 790 couples in the city chose to register their marriage on this day.
In fact, today's Lantern Festival is also known as "Chinese Valentine's Day", and the ancient "Shangyuan Festival" is the exclusive romance of Chinese, expressing the more subtle and long love of Chinese.
Mr. and Mrs. Huang, a citizen, decided to collect the certificate on the day of the Lantern Festival and enter the palace of marriage. "We feel that the meaning of the Lantern Festival is more traditional and grand than yesterday's Western Valentine's Day. In love for more than half a year, taking advantage of the heat, specially chose this day with a perfect meaning, just to make this sweetness more intense! ”
"We thought about February 14 and February 22, and then we thought that the Lantern Festival is also a traditional Chinese Valentine's Day, which is both special and romantic. After consulting with my wife, the two coincided and finally chose to register on this day. Mr. Chen and his lover completed the most important "certificate" moment in their lives, and a smile of happiness and satisfaction appeared on their faces.
In ancient China, the Lantern Festival was a festival full of romantic colors. Women who do not leave their homes on weekdays can go out to admire the lights on this day, which also provides opportunities for young men and women to meet. It can be seen that the Lantern Festival has created a good opportunity for people to convey their feelings, and it is also the "Valentine's Day" in ancient China.
It is not difficult to see the romantic warmth of the Lantern Festival from the poetry and songs of Chinese dynasties. Xin wrote in the "Qingyu Case, New Year's Eve": "The crowd looked for him for a thousand hundred degrees, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dimmed." "It describes the scene of a man and a woman dating on the night of the Lantern Festival, implicitly and gently. Another example is Ouyang Xiu's "Willow tip on the moon, people about after dusk." On New Year's Eve this year, the moon and lights are still there. Not seeing last year's people, tears wet spring shirt sleeves. "Wrote the scene of lovers relying on each other in the shadow of the moonlight willow, and the pain of lovesickness on the first night." Therefore, compared with the Tanabata Festival, the Lantern Festival is more like a Chinese Valentine's Day.
