Can I go back to my parents’ home during the Lantern Festival?

From a traditional perspective <br /> It is not appropriate to go back to your mother’s home during the Lantern Festival.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also the first full-moon day of the year. The family may not be reunited because the daughter-in-law may go back to her parents' home. So usually people go back to their parents’ home on the second day or the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. In order to take care of the reunion and joy of both parties in the marriage. There is a saying in Luyi County: "Invite a girl on the 16th day of the first lunar month, send her off on the 2nd day of the second lunar month, and you will never get sick in your life." You cannot go back to your parents' home on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. This rule was very strict in the old society, especially in rural areas. Violating it was considered disrespectful. Although people in the new society no longer believe in ghosts and gods, they still observe them strictly. If for some special reason a married daughter spends the New Year at home, her parents, family and herself may be unhappy. This is a cultural phenomenon that has been passed down for a long time and may continue to be implemented for a long time. It is these customs, traditions, and even bad habits that together make up the New Year!
From a modern perspective <br /> You can go back to your parents’ home during the Lantern Festival.
In fact, you can celebrate it anywhere. Now most of the children are only children, so why not celebrate it together, bring mom and dad to your home and give them a lively Lantern Festival. When we were young, they took us to see lanterns and guess riddles, now we take them to see lanterns and celebrate the Lantern Festival!

Things to note when returning to your mother’s home:

1. You must buy something for your parents, preferably local specialties from the man’s family, or something his parents like to eat, or something you have never eaten before and feel is good. If your parents are in poor health, it is best to buy them some medicines and supplements to make them feel better.
2. Going back to your parents' home on their birthdays can have other meanings, or you can go back during festivals to make the festive atmosphere stronger. You must give your parents some money when you go back, especially your mother, especially a daughter who married far away.
3. If you have children outside, it is best to bring your grandchildren home. Your parents will be very happy. Before leaving, don't forget to buy some daily necessities for your family, as this also shows your concern for your parents' lives. She also asked her parents to take care of their health and that she would call them often, and to let them know she was safe as soon as she returned from her parents' home.
4. A married daughter cannot sleep in the same bed with her husband when she returns to her parents’ home. You can’t sweep the floor at your mother’s house during Chinese New Year. When celebrating the New Year or the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at one’s parents’ home, one must return to one’s husband’s home before lighting the lamps at night and must not look at the lamps at one’s parents’ home.
5. On the day you get married, you cannot look back when you leave the house. If you look back, it means that you will have a hard time in your husband’s family in the future and you will have to come back eventually. You cannot stay at your parents' home to recuperate after giving birth, or return to your parents' home before the end of the confinement period, as this will bring bad luck.
