The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival, so what are the rules for going back to one’s parents’ home on the Dragon Boat Festival ?

For more information about the auspicious and inauspicious days in the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2019, please visit Mr. Shuimo's website.Can a married daughter go back to her parents’ home during the Dragon Boat Festival?In most parts of the country, married daughters should return to their parents' home to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, which is also known as the "Daughter's Day." "Wanshu Miscellaneous Notes" written by Shen Bang in the Ming Dynasty recorded: "Daughter's Day in May, people should tie a Dragon Boat Festival purse, wear mugwort and five poisonous spirits. The custom in Wan is to dress up little girls from the first to the fifth day of May (the fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival), and try their best to show their beauty. Married daughters also return to their parents' homes. That's why it is called the Daughter's Day."The custom of returning to one's parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival was not only established in the Ming Dynasty. From the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, married daughters had to "return home" on the Dragon Boat Festival, that is, go back to their parents' home. Moreover, when the wife returned to her parents' home, the husband had to go to greet her on the sixth day of May. He could not go empty-handed but had to bring gifts for his father-in-law and mother-in-law. What are the rules for visiting your parents’ home during the Dragon Boat Festival?Hubei area: In Zigui, Hubei, there is a saying among the people that "the Dragon Boat Festival is more important than the Spring Festival, 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 respects 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.Beijing area: In old Beijing, married women would return to their parents’ home to visit their relatives during the Dragon Boat Festival. When they did so, they would tie colorful silk threads on their arms and wear red velvet flowers on their chests. Skillful wives can also weave colorful rice dumplings (the inner shell is made of cardboard, usually about 2 cm in size, and the outside is wrapped with colorful silk threads and connected into a string) and wear them on their bodies to pray for blessings and longevity. Guangzhou area: Guangzhou people attach great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival. According to the old custom, people send gifts to the festival from the second to the fourth day of the fifth lunar month. Young "new brides" (daughters-in-law) use six or four "full boxes" filled with rice dumplings, pork, raw chicken, eggs, fruits, wine, etc. to return to their parents' home to congratulate their elders on the festival; girls and children hang sachets woven with five-color silk threads, which are usually given by the new brides. On the one hand, it reflects the new bride's virtue, and on the other hand, it reflects the new bride's craftsmanship, commonly known as "new bride's craftsmanship." As the saying goes, "A good fate is not as good as good luck." A person's destiny is already determined, and the only thing that can be controlled is his or her "luck."
