In the early days of Taiwan, 16 years old was regarded as an adult, which was called "doing 16 years old". A grand celebration ceremony will be held on the day of Qixi Festival. Hutoupi Scenic Area launched a promotional activity on the day of Qixi Festival in accordance with traditional customs. All young friends born in 1997 who show their identity documents on the day of Qixi Festival on 8/22 (Tuesday) can enter the park for free, allowing parents and teachers to come together Celebrate the important moment when children grow into adults.
Mayor Huang Weizhe said that "being sixteen years old" is a common memory of Fucheng families, and it is also a registered municipal folk custom in Tainan City. It is said that it originated from the "Wutiao Port" area and has a history of about a hundred years. In the early days, port imports and exports required a large number of workers who carried goods. Those who were under the age of 16 were child laborers and could not receive full wages. "When they were 16 years old", they became adults and began to receive full wages, which became an important source of family income. Qixi Festival is also the birthday of Weaver Girl, the patron saint of children. Parents will bring young people over the age of 16 to worship Weaver Girl to thank the custom of growing up smoothly in the past 16 years.
