Can I go back to my parents’ home during the Autumnal Equinox in 2021? What are the precautions?
Going back to one’s parents’ home is a fairly traditional idea. Nowadays, we generally don’t care much about it and just go back whenever we want. So, from the perspective of the lunar calendar, can I go back to my parents’ home during the Autumnal Equinox in 2021? What are the precautions? When the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2021 begins, the chapter of autumn has been added with a strong and colorful stroke, and everyone's fortune has also undergone new changes. Come to Mr. Shuimo's website to see what you need to pay attention to this month!Can I go back to my parents’ home during the Autumnal Equinox in 2021?1. From the perspective of custom: YesIn our folk culture, there is a saying that you cannot go back to your mother's home during certain festivals and solar terms. But during the Autumnal Equinox, you can go back to your parents' home. The Autumnal Equinox is divided according to farming and weather, and has little to do with folk customs. Therefore, there is no saying that you cannot go back to your parents' home during the Autumnal Equinox. 2. From the lunar calendar: Yes The Autumnal Equinox of 2021 is on September 23, 2021. The almanac shows that this day is suitable for travel, so you can go back to your parents' home. What should you pay attention to when returning to your parents’ home?1. Return timeThe time of returning to parents' parents' home after marriage varies from place to place. In ancient times, it was the third, sixth, seventh, eighth or ninth day after marriage. Some people also return to parents' home after the full moon. The custom of returning home to one's parents' home has existed since the Spring and Autumn Period and has been passed down to this day. Since "returning home" means that the newlyweds return home together, it is called "double return home", which means the auspiciousness of returning home in pairs. 2. Returning clothes When returning to parents' home after the wedding, the bride and groom should dress up as carefully as they would when attending a wedding, and maintain the beautiful and handsome image they had at the wedding. If the woman's family wants to hold a grand return banquet, the bride and groom should carefully select the return dresses. When returning to the bride's parents' home, the old custom dictates that the bride walks in front, and when returning to the groom's home, the groom walks in front. Because this visit is the first time the daughter returns to her parents' home after her marriage, some people call it "the first trip". After the "double return home", the bride is generally not allowed to stay overnight at the husband's family's home and must return to the groom's home on the same day, because there was an old custom that the newly married room should not be left empty within a month. On which days can’t I go back to my parents’ home?1. Beginning of Spring: You should go back to your parents’ home on Beginning of Spring. Your parents’ home will be poor, so if you go, your sister-in-law or brother’s wife will be unhappy. For the sake of family harmony, it is better not to go.2. Lantern Festival: There is a saying that you cannot look at the lanterns at your mother’s home (the so-called lanterns refer to the cotton lanterns we steam with flour on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year). If you look at the lanterns at your mother’s home, your father-in-law will die, so it is taboo to go back to your mother’s home on this day. 3. Dragon Raising its Head: You cannot go back to your parents’ home on February 2. It will be bad for your husband to go back there. On this day, you must bring your wife back home. 4. March 3rd: It is said that on this day the Queen Mother of the West will go to the Peach Garden to see the peaches and open the door between the underworld and the world of the living so that the ghosts from the underworld can come to the world of the living. Therefore, it is not appropriate to return to your mother's home on this day. 5. Dragon Boat Festival: You cannot go back to your parents’ home on this day. There is a saying that if you go back on the Dragon Boat Festival, your mother-in-law will die. Therefore, if you go back on this day, your mother-in-law will be unhappy. |
