Can’t go back to my parents’ home on the fifth day of the first lunar month? When can I go back to my parents’ home during the first month of the lunar year?
Speaking of going back to one’s parents’ home, I believe everyone is familiar with it. So, let’s take a look at why we cannot go back to one’s parents’ home on the fifth day of the first lunar month? When can I go back to my parents’ home during the first month of the lunar year? After the Spring Festival, the various festivals in the first month of the lunar calendar will soon follow. Following the 2021 first month special topic of Shuimoxiansheng.com, let’s count how many important traditional festivals and customs there are in this month.Can’t go back to my parents’ home on the fifth day of the first lunar month?From the perspective of traditional customs:According to traditional customs, it is not recommended to go back to your mother's home on the fifth day of the first lunar month. The main reason is that you are not allowed to visit neighbors on the fifth day of the first lunar month. "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji" said: The fifth day of the lunar month is called "Po Wu". During "Po Wu", no raw rice can be used for cooking and women are not allowed to go out. On the sixth day, princesses, noble ladies, eunuchs and others came and went in their attire and congratulated each other. Newly married women also returned home on the same day, and merchants gradually resumed their trade. "Qing Bi Lei Chao" also records: The fifth day of the first lunar month is called "Po Wu", and women are not allowed to go out. Legend has it that Jiang Taigong appointed his wife the Goddess of Poverty and ordered her to "return home when she sees poverty." In order to avoid the God of Poverty, people called this day "Po Wu". From the perspective of modern habits: OK. With the development of the times, many traditional customs of the ancient society are becoming less and less important, so you can go back to your parents' home on the fifth day of the first lunar month. However, specific suggestions also need to be decided based on local customs and habits. When can I go back to my parents’ home during the first month of the lunar year?During the Spring Festival, a daughter going out returns to her parents' home, which means a married daughter brings her husband and children back home to pay New Year's greetings to her parents. This custom exists in most parts of my country, usually on the second day of the first lunar month. There is a saying that goes, "On the first day, nephews visit their busy uncles, and on the second day, daughters return to their hometowns." Because in our country's tradition, a married daughter is like spilled water, and a married girl is often regarded as an "outsider". This "outsider" cannot be in her parents' home on New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival. If she is in her parents' home, it will bring bad luck to the family.In addition, there is another saying in the old tradition, which is that if a married girl returns to her parents' home on New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival, she will eat her parents' home into poverty. Therefore, it is recommended that women can return to their parents' home on the second day of the first lunar month. |
