The big data of marriage registration in 2023 in many places across the country has been released one after another in recent times, the number of marriage registrations in Huaibei and other places in Anhui Province has increased significantly, and Liuyang, Hunan and other places have terminated the momentum for many years.

According to the Liuyang Rong ** Center, the Marriage Registration Center of the Liuyang Civil Affairs Bureau released the marriage data for 2023: 5,443 marriage registrations were handled throughout the year, which was the first time since 2015 that the decline rebounded, an increase of 458 pairs compared with 2022.
According to the news, the number of marriage registrations in Liuyang has continued for many years, and in the past 10 years, the number of marriage registrations has peaked at 12,468 pairs in 2014, and has begun to decline year by year. Two years later, it fell below 10,000 pairs, and the number of pairs decreased to 9,042; By 2021, the number of marriage registrations in Liuyang was only 5,187 couples, and this data continued to decline in 2022, with only 4,985 marriage registrations throughout the year, and it will not rebound until 2023.
What are the reasons that inspire citizens to get married?
The decline in the number of marriage registrations in Liuyang has been going on for many years, and it will stop falling in 2023 and rebound slightly, mainly due to the impact of the general environment. In the report, Zhang Jian, director of the Marriage Center of the Liuyang Civil Affairs Bureau, analyzed that after the country implemented the family planning policy, the birth rate in Liuyang began to decline since 1989, and has maintained this trend for nearly 30 years. "2023 is a year of economic recovery after the three-year new crown epidemic prevention and control transition, and the demand for marriage postponed during the epidemic has been released, coupled with the implementation of a series of policies to encourage marriage and childbirth in recent years, it has also stimulated people's enthusiasm for marriage and childbirth to a certain extent." ”
In addition, the year of the dragon (2024) is a "year without spring", which also has a certain impact. Although this is caused by the derivation of the calendar between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, and has nothing to do with good fortune and misfortune, weddings and funerals, many citizens are still affected by the views of social ** and short** platforms about "widow years are not suitable for marriage", and get married in advance in the Year of the Rabbit (2023).
The number of marriage registrations in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Xuchang, Henan and other places will also increase in 2023.
According to public reports, a total of 25,164 marriage registrations will be handled in Taiyuan City in 2023, an increase of 3,639 couples compared with 21,525 marriage registrations in 2022.
In Xuchang, Henan, according to "Xuchang**", in 2023, a total of 24,222 couples will be registered for marriage in our city, a slight decrease from 25,421 pairs in 2021, and an increase of 4,997 pairs compared with 19,225 couples registered in 2022, a significant increase.
The relevant staff of the Xuchang Civil Affairs Bureau said that the increase in the number of marriages is related to traditional customs and the city's continuous promotion of marriage registration informatization.
According to the news, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon in the lunar calendar, and the dragon has a special place in traditional Chinese culture and is loved by many people. "Having a dragon baby" has become the choice of many young couples. This is one of the reasons for the rise in the number of marriages in our city in 2023. Looking back, there are traces of the "baby dragon effect". According to the China Health Statistical Yearbook, the last year of the dragon was 2012, when the number of births increased from 17.85 million in 2011 to 19.73 million, even exceeding the total number of newborns in 2016, the first year of the second child. At the same time, because the beginning of spring in 2024 is at the end of the lunar calendar in 2023, it is rumored that this year is a "year without spring" and is not suitable for marriage. As a result, some young people are getting married earlier. However, experts say that the "no spring year" is just a coincidence between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar, caused by the time difference between different calendars, and there is no scientific basis for the claim that the year is not suitable for marriage.
The number of marriage registrations in Suzhou, Changzhou, and Wuxi in Jiangsu Province will also increase in 2023.
According to the big data of marriage registration in Suzhou, a total of 57,920 marriage registrations will be handled in 2023, an increase of 10,153 couples over the previous year and a year-on-year increase of 2126%。
In 2023, 24,296 couples will enter the marriage hall in Changzhou, an increase of 2,858 couples compared with 2022, an increase of 13 year-on-year33%。
In Wuxi, 30,746 couples tied the knot in 2023, an increase of 3,936 couples from 2022 and a five-year high. According to the "Wuxi Release", judging from the annual data of marriage registration, it will return to the "3" prefix for the first time in 2023 since it fell to the prefix "2" for the first time in 2019.
