Can I live at my mother’s house or someone else’s house on the tenth day of the first lunar month in 2019?

Going back to one's parents' home is also called visiting one's parents' home in northern China. It is a very distinctive seasonal custom of the Han nationality. Every year on the second and third day of the first lunar month, married daughters of the Han Chinese from all over China return to their parents' homes, and their husbands go with them, so it is commonly known as the Welcoming the Son-in-Law Day. When going home, one should bring gifts with him, which is called "dai shou" or "ban shou". A large bag of biscuits and candies must be prepared and distributed by mother to neighbors and folks, just like during the Chinese New Year. If there are multiple daughters in the family and they do not return on the same day, then the gifts will be divided among them one by one, which is only four cookies. However, the affection it reflects is very strong, and it is truly "the gift is small but the sentiment is great", and it expresses the girl's deep longing for her fellow villagers. When the girl returns home, if there are nephews at home, the aunt has to pay for it again, even though she has already given the New Year's money on the first day. But this time the meaning is different, because on this day the married daughter returns to her parents' home to visit or even stay for a while. After a daughter gets married, she has to do housework, serve her parents-in-law, and deal with various relationships with sisters-in-law and aunts, which is very hard. Therefore, her parents will take the daughter home to stay for a few days during festivals, in the name of visiting relatives, but in fact it is for rest. However, it expresses the traditional mentality of the Han working people who generally hope to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and to welcome a better life in the new year. The affection it reflects is very strong, and it is truly the case that "the gift is small but the sentiment is great", and the girl misses her fellow villagers deeply.
Therefore, you can go back to your parents' home on the tenth day of the first lunar month, but you should avoid staying too long, as this will affect the relationship between you and your spouse. After all, if a couple spend less time together, their time together will become shorter, which will have an impact on their relationship.

What are the customs and habits on the tenth day of the first lunar month?

The Chinese folk legend of "The Mouse's Wedding" is very popular in our country. However, the date of "Rat's Wedding" varies from place to place.
In the folk legends of the Jiangnan area, mice are said to be harmful and unlucky, so they must be married off on the night of the 30th day of the lunar year to ensure peace and good fortune in the coming year. In some places in the suburbs of Shanghai, it is said that the mouse's daughter gets married on the 16th day of the first lunar month. On this night, every household fries sesame candy, which is the wedding candy prepared for the mouse's wedding.
In the north, the mouse daughter's wedding is on the night of the 25th day of the first lunar month. On this night, no lights were turned on in every household. The whole family sat on the kang, silent, eating "rat claws", "scorpion tails" and fried soybeans made of flour in the dark. Not lighting the lamp and not making any noise means to provide convenience for the mouse to marry its daughter, for fear of disturbing the happy event. Eating "rat claws" means that people hope the mouse's claws will itch so that they can get up and move earlier; eating "scorpion tails" is to prevent the mouse from being harmed by the scorpion when it marries its daughter out of the hole. The crisp sound of eating fried soybeans seems like setting off firecrackers for a mouse wedding.
