Can I go out to visit relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in 2019?

From the custom point of view: visiting relatives in the first month of the lunar year lasts from the second day to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. During this period, almost every family is immersed in wine and fragrance, enjoying the fun of life and the happiness of family affection. In the past, people could only go out after sending off the New Year, and there was a saying that "on the third day, visit grandmother, on the fourth day, visit aunt, and on the fifth and sixth day, visit mother-in-law"; now, on the second day of the first lunar month, when the New Year atmosphere is strong, people in Jiaodong start visiting relatives, and most of them "visit father-in-law first, then uncle, and aunts and uncles come last"; judging from this evolution, the pace of life is accelerating and the status of women is improving. On the second and third days of the first lunar month, married daughters bring their husbands and children back to their parents' homes to pay New Year's greetings. Therefore, the rule that you cannot visit relatives on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month is just a folk custom in some places. It is not the same for everyone. Basically, in most places, you can still visit relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. According to the lunar calendar: the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in 2019 [Suitable] Days: Pray for blessings, get married, migrate, bring in wealth, move into new home, build a stove, accept a bride, recruit a son-in-law, offer sacrifices, fast and offer sacrifices, build houses, seek an heir, break ground, take up office, erect pillars, plant, sign certificates, and catch school.

What legends are there about the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month?

Legend has it that the Lantern Festival was established during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han to commemorate the "suppression of the Lü clan." After Empress Lü died of illness, the Lü clan became extremely anxious and feared being harmed and excluded. So, they secretly gathered at the home of General Lu Lu and conspired to make a rebellion in order to completely seize the Liu family's kingdom. This matter reached the ears of Liu Nang, the King of Qi and a member of the Liu clan. In order to protect the Liu clan's kingdom, Liu Nang decided to lead an army to attack the Lü clan. He then contacted Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, two old ministers who had founded the country, and designed a plan to remove Lü Lu. Finally, the "Lü Rebellion" was completely put down. After the rebellion was quelled, the ministers supported Liu Bang's second son Liu Heng to ascend the throne and he was called Emperor Wen of Han. Emperor Wen felt that peace and prosperity were hard-won, so he designated the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the "Lu Rebellion" was quelled, as a day to celebrate with the people. Every household in the capital hung up lanterns and decorations to celebrate. From then on, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month became a folk festival celebrated throughout the country - "Lantern Festival".
