Can I go back to my parents’ home for the Dragon Boat Festival? Should the Dragon Boat Festival be celebrated at the mother’s home or at the husband’s home?
The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important festivals in China. During the Dragon Boat Festival, many women hope to return to their parents’ home to celebrate the festival. So, let’s take a look at whether it is possible to return to one’s parents’ home to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? With the arrival of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the plum rain season will slowly follow. For more information about the fifth month of the lunar calendar, please visit Mr. Shui Mo’s special feature on the fifth month of the lunar calendar!Can I go back to my parents’ home for the Dragon Boat Festival?It is not allowed to go back to your parents’ home to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. It is suggested that this can be analyzed from two perspectives.Angle 1: Traditional customs From the perspective of traditional customs, 1. In some areas, you are not allowed to go back to your mother's home during the Dragon Boat Festival. There is a saying: "If you eat the Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings from your mother's home, the whole family will be wiped out." So they don’t like their married daughters to come back home, as this would bring bad luck to the whole family. 2. However, in some areas, the Dragon Boat Festival is regarded as the "Returning Home" day. The so-called "Returning Home" refers to the day when married daughters return to their parents' home. Because, in ancient times in our country, transportation was very inconvenient, and women could not see their parents for a long time after they got married. Therefore, some areas regard the Dragon Boat Festival as the "Returning Home" day, so that married daughters can bring their husbands and children back home to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with their parents. 3. So, from the perspective of traditional customs, whether you can spend the night at your parents’ home depends mainly on judging based on local customs. Angle 2: Now the habitual angle If we look at it from a modern perspective, you can go back to your parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival, because transportation is now relatively convenient and no matter where you go, it is not far away. In addition, today's society is not as particular as in ancient times, so going back to your parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival is quite common. Parents are happy and excited to see their daughters come home and will not show any unwelcome attitude. So you can go back to your mother's home during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, it should be noted that if you want to go back to your parents' home to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, you need to discuss it with your husband to avoid conflicts between the two. Should the Dragon Boat Festival be celebrated at the mother’s home or at the husband’s home?It is okay to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at your parents’ home or at your husband’s home. There is nothing special about this.However, if your family members value traditional customs, and there is a local saying that you cannot celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at your parents' home, then it is recommended that you celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at your husband's home. Or, there is a local saying that one should go back to one's parents' home to avoid the Dragon Boat Festival. In that case, it is recommended that one should celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at one's parents' home. If neither family has such a saying or custom, then it is recommended that the couple discuss and decide whether to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival at the wife's parents' home or at the husband's home. What is the Dragon Boat Festival?The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Fifth Festival, Dragon Festival, Zhengyang Festival, Tianzhong Festival, etc., originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the dragon sacrifices in ancient times. During the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, the Azure Dragon rises to the south center of the sky. It is an auspicious day for the dragon to fly into the sky, just as the fifth line of the Qian hexagram in the Book of Changes says: "The flying dragon is in the sky." On the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Star is both "in the center" and "in the right place", which is a sign of great luck. Its origins cover ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects, and contain profound and rich cultural connotations; |
