There is a rush to give birth to "dragon babies" in the Year of the Dragon, and many couples are also rushing to get married. As a result, wedding companies and hotel banquet reservations are booming. Yesterday morning, I visited several marriage registration offices in the main city and saw a continuous stream of people coming to register their marriages. Most of them were young people around 25 years old. According to the data provided by the JiuLongPo District Marriage Registration Office, there were 1,136 couples who got married in January last year. However, from January 29th to February 8th this year, 516 couples registered their marriages, approaching half of the total number of marriages in January last year. The NanAn District Marriage Registration Office's statistical data shows that there were 853 couples who got married in January last year. From January 29th to February 8th this year, 380 couples registered their marriages, also approaching half of the level.

I visited several restaurants in ShaPingBa, such as WeiDao ChongQing, ShunFeng 123, and A Xing Ji Da Hotel, and found that all the wedding banquets for the first half of the year have been booked. Some wedding companies said that after booking the banquet, one needs to book at least six months in advance to secure a wedding date.

#### Investigation: Three reasons for the rush of new couples getting married

1. Rushing to get the marriage certificate to have a "dragon baby"

At the JiangBei District Marriage Registration Office, I met Wang LiLi, 26 years old, and her boyfriend who came to get their marriage certificate. Wang LiLi said: "My family has been urging us to get married this year, and I particularly want to have a dragon baby." Six couples who came to get their marriage certificates expressed the same idea as Wang LiLi.

2. Getting married in the zodiac year for good luck

Then, I visited the ShaPingBa District Marriage Registration Office and encountered five couples coming to register their marriages. Three of them chose this year because it is their zodiac year, hoping for a good start. Wang JunPeng, 23 years old, said, "Starting the year with a happy event in the zodiac year, hoping for smooth sailing throughout the year."

3. Valentine's Day is coming, so they decide to get married before then

Yesterday, I learned from more than twenty couples who got married that next Tuesday is Valentine's Day. To avoid crowding with other couples, they decided to get their marriage certificates before Valentine's Day. "We both have to work on Tuesday, and there will definitely be many people getting married that day, so it's fine to get the certificate a few days earlier, and she agrees!" said Chen Xin, 27 years old.

#### Opinion: To be happy, one doesn't necessarily need to follow the crowd

Professor Zhang ZhongMing from the Psychology Department of Southwest University said that many people arrange their wedding dates and childbearing plans in the Year of the Dragon, although the intention is good, but the rush can lead to a series of chain reactions, such as putting pressure on children's future employment, etc.

He suggests that everyone should not deliberately crowd their births and weddings into a special time. Happiness requires one's own efforts to cultivate and maintain.
