Lunar calendar: December 8, 2019 Gregorian calendar: January 2, 2020, Thursday, Capricorn
【Today’s lunar calendar is suitable】
Pray for blessings, get married, break ground, take office, offer sacrifices, accept marriage proposals, seek heirs, remove burials, collect wealth, erect pillars, raise beams, plant crops, open markets, set up vouchers, seek wealth, fast and offer sacrifices, enroll in school, tailor clothes, and wear hairpins
[Today’s taboos in the almanac]
Separation, migration, settling down, litigation, building houses, building bridges, building embankments, housing livestock, opening warehouses, purchasing property, sailing, traveling, going out to seek medical treatment
From the above contents of the lunar calendar, it can be seen that the day of returning home [i.e. going back to one’s parents’ home] is not in accordance with the lunar calendar, so Laba Festival in 2020 is not an auspicious day to go back to one’s parents’ home!
《2》According to traditional sayings: It is not appropriate to go back to your parents’ home on Laba Festival.
According to the old saying, there are always a few days in a year when a married daughter cannot return to her parents' home. It is said to be a taboo and has its own rules.
Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the first taboo day is Laba. Going back to your mother's home on Laba Day will bring bad luck to your mother-in-law, as she will die lying prone in a hundred years.
Another saying goes: "If you don't eat rice from your mother's home on Laba Festival, your ancestors will not be able to pay it back", which means that your family will become poor.
Some even believe that you cannot spend the twelfth lunar month at your parents’ home on the 8th, 18th, and 28th.
