| Mr. Zhang Junqing, member of CFPA provided the following
black-white photos, so that we have the chance to see what the festival
was in thirty years ago. As the spring coming in April, young boys and girls gather to look for lovers by the way of singing and dancing. It is a formal and important ceremony for youth, because the marriage will not be accepted by the family and clan until the couple met here. |
