北京相親鄙視鏈 （講解版）| E0717

An article in Phoenix Weekly on what Beijing people look for in China's "marriage markets" often arranged in parks has caught people's attention. It is customary for some elderly relatives to meet in parks around China and to help their sons and daughters find matches. The piece interviews parents about what their children require in a match and some of the answers are very specific. "No people whose Chinese Zodiac is a sheep," says one. Those born in the year of the sheep are frowned upon by matchmakers, as they are perceived as meaning a lifetime of bad luck. One woman with the surname Li, advertising her 33-year-old son in a Beijing park, says her son "will not consider someone who does not have a Beijing hukou." A Hukou is a household registration document. Phoenix Weekly said parents seeking matches for children from outside of Beijing encountered great difficulty in the city's markets.
