Can I stay at my parents’ home on the eleventh day of the first lunar month in 2019?

The eleventh day of the first lunar month is one of the traditional Chinese lunar festivals. This day is the day when the father-in-law entertains his son-in-law. There is a lot of food left over from the celebration of the God's birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month, after being eaten for a day on the tenth day. Therefore, the wife's family does not have to spend any more money and can use the leftover food to entertain the son-in-law and daughter. This is called "inviting the son-in-law on the eleventh day" in Chinese folk songs.
In fact, "Son-in-law Day" has a long history. In ancient times, the leftover food from the celebration of "God of Heaven"'s birthday on the ninth day of the first lunar month had not been eaten up, so people would use these delicacies from offering sacrifices to the gods to entertain daughters and sons-in-law as a return gift when the daughter returned home on the second day of the first lunar month. On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, when a daughter and her son-in-law rush back to her parents' home, her older brother or younger brother must go out in advance to greet them, to show the respect and attention that the family has for the son-in-law.
Therefore, according to custom, you can go back to your parents' home on the eleventh day of the first lunar month in 2019.

Customs of the 11th day of the first lunar month:

Son-in-law Day
"Son-in-law Day" is the day when the father-in-law entertains his son-in-law. There is a lot of food left over from celebrating the "God's Birthday" on the ninth day of the first lunar month, after being eaten for a day on the tenth day. Therefore, the wife's family does not have to spend any more money and can use the leftover food to entertain the son-in-law and daughter. The folk song calls this "Inviting the Son-in-law on the Eleventh Day". Good harvest in early spring. As the saying goes, "A year's plan begins in spring." On this day, farmers will go to the fields to plant seeds, hoping to have a full granary with grain in the coming year.
Invite Zi Gu Day <br /> The earliest document recording "Zi Gu" is "Yi Yuan" by Liu Jingshu of the Southern Song Dynasty. Generally speaking, Zi Gu was someone's concubine who was envied by the original wife and was killed in the toilet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The Emperor of Heaven took pity on her and made her the toilet god.
However, the Chinese people worship Zi Gu not because she is a toilet god, but because Zi Gu represents the deeply oppressed women in feudal society. That is why she is worshipped by women and is regarded as the patron saint of weak women.
Paolong Festival <br /> Binyang County in Guangxi holds a unique traditional festival of the Han nationality - "Paolong Festival". "Paolong" is a kind of dancing dragon, but it is larger than the common dancing dragon, about 40 meters long, with the short one having 7 sections and the long one having 11 sections. Every year on the eleventh night of the first lunar month, Binyang County holds the "Pao Long Festival". Wherever the "Pao Long" goes, every household sets off firecrackers and lines the streets to welcome it. There is a saying that "the sound of cannons never stops, and the dragon dance never stops", so it is called "Pao Long".
