What is the relationship between the Beginning of Spring and the Spring Festival?

The Beginning of Spring is the first of the traditional 24 solar terms. In ancient times, people celebrated the festival on the day of the Beginning of Spring, which is equivalent to the modern "Spring Festival", and called the first day of the first lunar month "New Year's Day". In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution led by Sun Yat-sen established the Republic of China. After he moved "New Year's Day" to January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, he did not change the "Spring Festival". Two years later, the "Spring Festival" was also moved to the first day of the first lunar month. On January 21, 1914, the Minister of the Interior Zhu Qiqun wrote to the then President Yuan Shikai, "A Memorial on the Four Seasons' Holidays": "It is proposed to designate the Lunar New Year's Day as the Spring Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival as the Summer Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival as the Autumn Festival, and the Winter Solstice as the Winter Festival..." This "A Memorial on the Four Seasons' Holidays" was quickly approved by Yuan Shikai and was implemented the following year (1914). Because the "Spring Festival" was transplanted to the previous New Year's Day, the Spring Festival celebrations that had lasted for more than two thousand years gradually disappeared, and the Spring Festival turned into an ordinary solar term. After the new Spring Festival arrangement was promulgated, "celebrating the Spring Festival" quickly became popular among the people. The previous "New Year's Festival" completely became the "Annual Festival". Since then, the practice of calling the beginning of the Xia calendar year the Spring Festival has continued to this day. From then on, my country decided to use the Gregorian calendar's algorithm, and officially designated the first day of the first lunar month as "Spring Festival" and January 1 of the Gregorian calendar as "New Year's Day", which is the "Gregorian New Year".

Is the beginning of spring in 2019 the Spring Festival?

The beginning of spring in 2019 is February 4, 2019, which is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month of the Year of the Dog in 2018 in the lunar calendar, and is also New Year's Eve. The 2019 Spring Festival is on February 5, 2019, the first day of the first lunar month of the Year of the Pig in the 2019 lunar calendar. Two days are not the same day. Moreover, there is no Beginning of Spring in the lunar calendar of 2019, because the Beginning of Spring in 2019 happens to be the last day of the Year of the Dog, while the Beginning of Spring in 2020 is the first month of the Year of the Rat. Therefore, 2019 is also called the "Year Without Spring".

Why is it best for married women not to return to their parents’ home on the Spring Beginning?

Because in ancient times, women were required to follow the three obediences and four virtues. Once married, they followed their husbands and became members of someone else's family. This was especially true on the day of the Beginning of Spring, which was the most important day of the year. Going back to one's parents' home at this time inevitably felt like "rejuvenation." Some people say that "Spring returns to the mother's home, and another spring comes next year, which means it's time to get married again." Although this statement is too extreme, no matter what, if a couple really lives a good life, there will definitely be no daughter-in-law who stays at her mother's home every day.
