Can’t we celebrate the Little New Year at someone else’s house? Can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the Chinese New Year?
As one of the traditional festivals, Xiaonian also has certain etiquette and precautions. So, let’s take a look at it, can’t Xiaonian be celebrated at someone else’s home? Can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the Chinese New Year? "La means connection, the handover between the old and the new, so grand sacrifices are held to reward merits." This means that the twelfth month of the lunar calendar contains the meaning of replacement of the old with the new, bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new. Follow Mr. Shui Mo to explore more about the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 2020.Can’t we celebrate the Little New Year at someone else’s house?Yes, you can celebrate the Little New Year at someone else’s home.In China, the Little New Year is also a festive holiday, and many friends choose to have a reunion dinner with their families on this day. However, some friends live far away from home, so they choose to celebrate the New Year with good friends or close relatives. This is absolutely irrelevant, you can celebrate the Little New Year at someone else's home. However, it is recommended to spend New Year’s Eve and Spring Festival at home. Can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the Chinese New Year?There was such a saying in the old society of our country.According to the traditional Chinese understanding of family formation, when a woman gets married, she immediately becomes a formal member of the man’s family. My former mother’s family has become just “relatives” to me. For example, in the past, a woman with the surname Li who married into the Zhang family was called "Zhang Li", which means this. The original surname "Li" became the secondary one. When a woman officially becomes a member of the man's family, it is impossible for her to be too casual when visiting her "relatives", especially on a family reunion day like the Little New Year. In feudal society, married women who often returned to their parents’ home would not only be scolded by their parents-in-law, but also by their own family members. You will also be gossiped about by people around you, saying that you are a traitor. However, with the progress of the times, this traditional custom is no longer taken so seriously. Not only on the Little New Year, many friends will go back to their parents' home on a daily basis. So this doesn’t matter. However, whether you can return to your parents' home is determined based on local customs. How much do you know about Xiaonian?The Little New Year is usually regarded as the beginning of the busy year, which means that people begin to prepare New Year's goods, sweep the house, worship the kitchen god, etc., preparing to have a good new year in a clean manner. It expresses people's good wishes to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and to welcome good luck and fortune. Due to different customs in different places, the day called "Little New Year" is also different. In modern times, it has been circulated in some places in my country that the New Year's Eve for officials is on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, for common people it is on the 24th, and for people living on water it is on the 25th. In fact, the traditional Little New Year is on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. Because the emperors in the middle and late Qing Dynasty worshipped the Kitchen God one day in advance on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the people in the northern region followed suit and also celebrated the Little New Year one day in advance on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. |
