Going back to one's parents' home is also called returning home or returning to the province (this is not a royal term, its origin is introduced below). Generally speaking, customs vary from place to place and there are fixed dates. So, can’t I go back to my parents’ home to visit my relatives during the Lantern Festival? A year's plan begins in spring, and almost every day in the first month of the lunar year is a festival. The 2021 first month special topic of Shuimoxiansheng.com lists these traditional Chinese festivals and festival customs for you.Can’t I go back to my parents’ home to visit my relatives during the Lantern Festival?——According to our traditional customs and habits, we are not allowed to go back to our mother’s home to spend the Lantern Festival.According to our Chinese traditional customs, we are not allowed to go back to our parents' home on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month. So usually people go back to their parents’ home on the second day or the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. In order to take care of the reunion and joy of both parties in the marriage. In Luyi County of our country, there is a saying that goes "Invite a girl on the 16th day of the first lunar month, send her off on the 2nd day of the second lunar month, and you will never get sick in your life." You cannot go back to your parents' home on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. This rule was very strict in the old society, especially in rural areas. Violating it was considered disrespectful. Although people in the new society no longer believe in ghosts and gods, they still observe them strictly. But if we look at it from our modern perspective, we can go back to our parents' home on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. In fact, you can celebrate it anywhere. Nowadays, most of the children are only children, so why not celebrate it together, invite your parents to your home, and give them a lively Lantern Festival. 2021 Lantern Festival CustomsLand boatingLand boat rowing is also called land boat running, which is to imitate the movement of a boat on land.

It is made of two thin boards, sawn into a boat shape, tied with bamboo and wood, and covered with colorful cloth. It is tied around the girl's waist, as if they are sitting in the boat together, holding oars in their hands, making rowing gestures, running, singing some local tunes, singing and dancing. This is land boat rowing. 】Walk away all diseases In addition to celebrations during the Lantern Festival, there are also some other religious activities.
