Married daughters can return to their parents’ home during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2019, and returning to one’s parents’ home during the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom in many places.
In ancient times, after a daughter got married, she would live in her husband's home for a long time and rarely saw her parents. From the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a custom of returning to one's parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival, commonly known as "Returning to the Parents' Home."

The "Wan Shu Miscellaneous Notes" written by Shen Bang in the Ming Dynasty recorded: "On the Daughter's Day in May, people should wear a Dragon Boat Festival purse, mugwort and five poisonous spirit talismans.
The custom in Wandi is to dress up the little girl and show her beauty to the utmost from the first to the fifth day of May (the fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival). Married daughters also returned to their parents' homes. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Daughter's Day".
The custom of returning to one's parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival exists in many places. For example, in Zigui, Hubei, there is a saying among the people that "the Dragon Boat Festival is bigger than the New Year, and girls return to their parents' home." The Dragon Boat Festival is even more grand than the Spring Festival. Married women have to bring their husbands and children back to their parents' home to pay homage to their parents.
They may walk, ride in sedan chairs, ride on horses, or take boats back to their parents' home to reunite with their family members and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.
The daughter's parents have to prepare food and wine and invite friends and relatives to spend a happy day together.
