Follow Shuimoxiansheng.com and take a look at the contents of the lunar calendar for November 2019.Is it not appropriate to go back to my parents’ home during the winter solstice?According to folk customs, it is not appropriate to return to your mother's home during the Winter Solstice.On the winter solstice, married daughters cannot go back to their parents' home for dinner and must go back to their husband's home. Otherwise, it would be very unlucky for my father-in-law. This is: "If you don't winter on the winter solstice, you will die." 1. In ancient times, life was very difficult for a daughter-in-law in her husband’s family. Therefore, in the early years, after helping with the autumn harvest at her husband's house, the daughter-in-law would prepare to return to her parents' home. As the saying goes: A daughter feels free at her parents' home, which is as small as an egg; on the contrary, she feels aggrieved at her husband's home, which is as big as a bucket. So when a daughter-in-law goes back to her parents' home, she usually stays there for a whole winter. Second, however, for the husband’s family, once a woman marries into the family, she belongs to that family. If the mistress of a large family is away from home for a long time, outsiders will laugh at her. Moreover, the Winter Solstice itself is a festival of reunion. It is really unreasonable not to invite your wife home at this time. At this time, there is a saying that you cannot stay at your mother's home on the winter solstice. Therefore, on the day before the winter solstice, the husband can take his wife home with dignity.

From the perspective of folklore: Customs of the Winter Solstice in the South Many places in southern China celebrate the Winter Solstice. Some coastal areas in the south continue the traditional custom of ancestor worship. Every household places ancestor statues and tablets in the upper hall of their home, sets up an offering table, and arranges incense burners and offerings. While offering sacrifices to their ancestors, some places also offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and land, and kowtow to the gods to pray for good weather in the coming year, and harmony in the family. Guangdong people eat roast meat and ginger rice on the Winter Solstice. On the day of the Winter Solstice, most Guangdong people have the custom of "adding dishes" to their diet of winter solstice meat. There is a folk saying in Chaoshan area that "Eating winter festival balls means Chinese New Year has arrived", commonly known as "adding years". Hakka people believe that water tastes the best during the winter solstice, so brewing wine during the winter solstice has become a custom for Hakka people. Hangzhou people eat rice cakes during the winter solstice. Eating rice cakes has been popular since the late Ming and early Qing dynasties until now. During the winter solstice, people make rice cakes with different flavors for three meals. Eating rice cakes during the winter solstice will help people grow taller every year and bring good luck. In Sichuan, people eat mutton soup during the winter solstice. Mutton is the most nutritious food in winter. In Hunan and Hubei areas, people must eat red bean glutinous rice on the day of the winter solstice. In some areas in the south, it is more popular to eat winter solstice dumplings (winter solstice pills), which symbolize reunion. Every winter solstice morning, every household grinds glutinous rice flour, and uses sugar, meat, vegetables, fruit, shredded radish, etc. as fillings to make winter solstice balls. Not only are they eaten by family members, they are also given to relatives and friends as gifts to express blessings. In fact, eating glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice is a traditional custom in my country, and it is even more common in the south of the Yangtze River. There is also a saying among the people that "eating glutinous rice balls will make you one year older." Winter Solstice Customs in the North: In many areas in northern my country, there is a custom of eating dumplings on the winter solstice every year. According to legend, when the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing retired and returned to his hometown, he saw people suffering from the cold. He used mutton, some cold-relieving herbs and dough to wrap them into the shape of ears, made a medicine called "Quhan Jiao'er Soup" and gave it to the people. Later, every winter solstice, people imitated the dish and made it, and it became a custom. Different people have different destinies. As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." We cannot change our destiny, but we can change our fortune. Want to know your fortune in 2020? Then click on the [Premium Calculation] below to find out! |
