Especially in the Shandong area of our country, there is a saying that you cannot go back to your parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival because they think that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water and is no longer part of their family. In Shandong, there is a saying that married daughters cannot be allowed to return to their parents' home on any major festival. On the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a tradition that you cannot eat rice dumplings from your parents' home. There is a folk saying that goes, "If you eat rice dumplings from your parents' home on the Dragon Boat Festival, your whole family will be dead," which means that if you eat rice dumplings from your parents' home on the Dragon Boat Festival, your relatives will encounter disasters.But it doesn't mean that all regions have the rule that you can't go back to your parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival. In some areas, it is said that married daughters need to return to their parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival. In ancient times in our country, transportation was inconvenient, and married daughters lived in their husband's home for a long time and seldom saw their parents. However, since the Tang Dynasty, the custom of returning to the mother's home on the Dragon Boat Festival has become popular, which is also known as "Returning Home". In Zigui, Hubei, there is a saying among the people that "The Dragon Boat Festival is more important than the Spring Festival, and girls return to their parents' homes." The Dragon Boat Festival is even more grand than the Spring Festival. Married women have to bring their husbands and children back to their parents' homes to pay homage to their parents. They may walk, ride in sedan chairs, ride on horses, or take boats back to their parents' homes to reunite with their families during the Dragon Boat Festival. The daughter's parents have to prepare food and wine and invite friends and relatives to spend a happy day together. With the development of the times, the saying that you cannot go back to your mother's home during the Dragon Boat Festival is gradually forgotten. However, as to whether you can go back to your mother's home during the Dragon Boat Festival, it is recommended that you judge based on the customs and habits of your hometown to avoid making your family unhappy during the festival. Can I go to the girl’s house during the Dragon Boat Festival?Yes, you can go to the girl’s house during the Dragon Boat Festival.The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the short holidays. Many friends want to meet their parents during this short holiday, while many friends are afraid that it is not good to go to the girl’s house on the Dragon Boat Festival. In fact, it is not. Going to your girlfriend's house during the Dragon Boat Festival is not only about accompanying your girlfriend, but it can also let her parents know how far your relationship has progressed, which is also a good thing. But it should be noted that when you go to your girlfriend's house, don't forget to bring gifts, so as not to make people feel that you don't value you. And you also need to be sweet-talking at your girlfriend's house to make her parents happy. But the local etiquette is different in each place. For example: In Henan, if you are engaged, you must go to the Dragon Boat Festival and bring some gifts. The close relatives of the woman's family will receive the gifts you bring. So, you can go to the girl's house during the Dragon Boat Festival, but if customs do not allow it, it is recommended not to go. |
