Can I stay at my parents’ home or someone else’s home on the ninth day of the first lunar month in 2019?
It is common for us to visit relatives and friends and go back to my mother's home during the first month of the lunar year. However, according to custom, we cannot stay at my mother's home on certain days. So, can I stay at my mother's home or at someone else's home on the ninth day of the first lunar month in 2019? For more details about the 2019 New Year and the first month of the lunar calendar, please visit Mr. Shuimo’s website for consultation!Can I stay at my parents’ home or someone else’s home on the ninth day of the first lunar month in 2019?There is a saying about the ninth day of the first lunar month: Don’t go out on the seventh, don’t come back on the eighth, and you will have a lot of things to do on the ninth. In ancient times, the ninth day of the first lunar month was also called the Shangjiu Day . The Chinese people believe that nine represents majority, most, and greatest among numbers, and therefore it is the best. This day is also known as "Tianri". Legend has it that it is the birthday of the Jade Emperor and must be celebrated with great ceremony.1. The seven things you shouldn’t do means that before you go out, don’t go out without doing these seven things. These seven things are: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which are what we usually call the seven necessities of life. In the past, people who went out were often the head of the household and the backbone of the family. Therefore, they had to arrange their life at home before going out. 2. The Eight Things You Should Not Return Home means that after you go out, don’t go home until you have done eight things well. These eight things are: filial piety, fraternal love, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. These are the eight basic moral principles of life of the ancients. If you violate any one of them, you will be sorry to your ancestors and will not be able to face your family. 3. Go to the 9th to do a lot of things. It means that if you do things on the ninth day of the ninth month, you will be blessed by the Jade Emperor, and not only will your work be accomplished, but you will also be able to do more and more efficiently. As you can imagine, on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, not only do you have to worship the God of Heaven, but going out is also very particular. Therefore, it is not recommended to stay at your mother's house or someone else's house on this day . First, it is inconvenient to worship the God of Heaven. Second, it is best for the couple to reunite on this day and pray to the God for happiness in the coming year. When do you go back to your parents' home for the Spring Festival?The second day of the first lunar month is the day when daughters and sons-in-law return to their parents’ home, that is, the sons-in-law pay New Year’s greetings to their parents-in-law, commonly known as “Welcoming the Son-in-law Day”. It is believed among the people that a married daughter cannot return to her parents’ home on the first day of the New Year, as doing so will bankrupt her family. She can only return to her parents’ home after the second day of the New Year. There is a folk saying in Taiwan: "A daughter with both parents will be picked up by her parents' family after the second day of the Chinese New Year for a reunion. A daughter without both parents will have no relatives to miss her, so her parents' family will not send anyone to pick her up. |
