Qingming Festival is one of the traditional festivals. So, let’s take a look at whether it is okay to visit your parents’ home during Qingming Festival. Can I visit my mother’s grave during the Qingming Festival? Time always passes quietly, and in the blink of an eye it is already the second month of the lunar calendar, but the passing years still leave traces. Shuimoxiansheng.com’s special topic for the second month of the lunar calendar in 2021 is also coming in time!Is it okay to visit my parents during the Qingming Festival?According to folk taboos, married women are not recommended to return to their parents' home during the Qingming Festival. Because there are many folk taboos that say that married daughters cannot return to their parents' home during the Qingming Festival.In fact, the idea that married daughters cannot return to their parents' home during the Qingming Festival is mainly caused by traditional patriarchal ideas. In the old society of our country, many people believed that daughters were no longer family members and that “a daughter who is married off is like spilled water.” Influenced by the old concept of "men are superior to women", daughters and sons-in-law cannot return to their parents' home during the Qingming Festival, nor can they worship their ancestors there. Although, with the development of the times, this saying is gradually being abandoned, but some regions and some families still attach great importance to it. Therefore, it is recommended to respect local customs and habits when deciding whether to go back to your parents' home during the Qingming Festival. Can I visit my mother’s grave during the Qingming Festival?OK. Elders are one’s elders, and Qingming Festival is a traditional festival for commemorating ancestors. When one returns to one’s parents’ home during Qingming Festival, it is natural to visit the graves of one’s ancestors. (However, if local customs do not allow it, visiting the graves is not recommended)In the old society, married daughters could not return to their parents' home to visit their parents' graves, mainly due to three factors. 1. On the one hand, when a married daughter returns to her parents’ home to visit the graves, it will affect the good feng shui of her parents’ ancestral graves, causing bad luck to the people in her parents’ home. 2. On the other hand, when a married daughter returns to her parents’ home to visit the graves, outsiders will think that her parents’ family has “no one to carry on their family line”. No one is willing to visit the graves and pay homage to their ancestors, and people in her parents’ family will be gossiped about by others. 3. Another major aspect is the folk saying. "If you don't avoid Qingming Festival, your father-in-law will die" is also a folk saying. It means that if you go back to your parents' home on Qingming Festival, it will be bad for your father-in-law. However, this saying is more superstitious. In fact, modern people no longer have so many taboos. That’s why there is a saying that you cannot visit your parents’ graves when you return to their parents’ home during the Qingming Festival. With the development of society, people's minds are becoming more and more open, and most families now have only one child, so this concept is becoming less and less common. Married daughters can also return to their parents' home to visit the graves and worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival. In many areas, they will bring their husbands back to their parents' home to sweep the graves. As long as the parents and elders do not have the idea of favoring boys over girls, then naturally the daughter can visit the graves regardless of whether she is married or not. What are the rules for daughters to visit graves during Qingming Festival?1. Generally speaking, if a child is under six years old, regardless of whether he or she is a boy or a girl, it is not appropriate for him or her to attend activities such as visiting graves and worshiping ancestors.2. In some places, according to customs, unmarried daughters can visit graves. 3. Rural people believe that married daughters should not return to their parents’ home to visit their parents’ graves. They can only visit their husband’s family’s graves. 4. It is a taboo for pregnant women to visit graves in many places. Many people think that pregnant women should not visit graves. |
