Why do you get married so much during the Spring Festival?

Because the Spring Festival is lively, most relatives and friends are around, and getting married at this stage adds joy, so many people now choose to get married around the Spring Festival.

Spring Festival is a big festival in China, and this time of year is the best time for family and friends to get together. And everyone should be prepared for the holidays, and the whole country will have a holiday. At this stage, many new people get married.

When the family and friends get married freely, they don't have to take special leave to attend the wedding when they receive the invitation. Those who have already returned to China in advance have even saved the travel expenses, and the wedding is happy and convenient for those who attend the wedding. Now is really a good time to get married. In ancient times, many people chose to get married during the Spring Festival. Superstition is that in these days, the gods on the earth will return to heaven to report to the Jade Emperor. Without gods, there will be fewer taboos on earth and fewer collisions between people when they get married. The realistic guess is that it costs a lot to hold a wedding in ancient times, and it can be held together with the Chinese New Year, which is convenient and lively.

There are also some taboos about getting married around the Spring Festival. For example, if there are many people holding weddings, the couple should not cross to attend the wedding. There are solar terms such as beginning of spring and rain around the Spring Festival, and these solar terms are not a good day for marriage in the Gregorian calendar and should be avoided. Although most modern young people believe in science, the most important thing to get married is to like each other, but many older people have traditional ideas and believe in these taboos, so it is best to communicate with their families when they get married.
