On which days can’t I go back to my parents’ home?

1. You cannot go back to your parents’ home on the beginning of spring
You go back to your parents' home at the 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. You cannot go back to your parents’ home during the 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 make with steamed 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 very taboo to go back to your mother's home on this day.
3. You cannot go back to your parents’ home during the Qingming Festival
During the Qingming Festival, you cannot go back to your parents’ home, and women cannot go to sweep graves, no matter if it is at your mother-in-law’s home or your parents’ home. Women cannot go to the cemetery.
4. You cannot go back to your parents’ home during the Dragon Boat Festival
May 5th is the Dragon Boat Festival. As the saying goes, "May 5th is the day to take care of your mother-in-law." This means that if you go back to your parents' home on May 5th, you should be mean to your mother-in-law.
5. You can’t go back to your parents’ home during the Ghost Festival
July 15th is Ghost Festival. You cannot go back to your parents' home on this day. No one can tell why, but since you are married, you have to abide by this rule.
6. You can’t go back to your parents’ home during the winter solstice
It is the winter solstice. It is said that this day is not good for the father-in-law, so on this day you must stay at home, or it is better to go to your mother-in-law's house, because if you go back to your mother's house on the winter solstice, it will not be good for your father-in-law.
