There is no folk saying that you cannot go back to your parents' home during the Beginning of Winter. Beginning of Winter, one of the 24 solar terms in the lunar calendar, is also one of China's traditional festivals. People regard Beginning of Winter as the beginning of winter. The custom of taking tonic food at the beginning of winter has been passed down from ancient times to this day. The custom of the beginning of winter has always placed great emphasis on food, so as to resist the invasion of the severe cold winter. In the northern regions, there is a custom of eating dumplings during the Beginning of Winter. It is said that this is because the Beginning of Winter is the transition between autumn and winter, so dumplings must be eaten during the transition. In the southern regions, people like to eat chicken, duck, fish and meat during the Beginning of Winter. Beef, chicken, mutton, shrimp and so on are popular foods during the Beginning of Winter.What other days are not suitable for going back to your parents’ home?Not a good day to go back to your parents’ home: March 3 <br /> March 3, according to the customs of many ethnic minorities, is considered an “evil day”. March 3rd is also one of China’s ghost festivals. Married women cannot go out casually on this day, let alone return to their parents’ home.Not suitable to go back to your parents’ home: Qingming Festival <br /> In many places, there is a custom that you cannot go back to your parents’ home on Qingming Festival. It is said that Qingming Festival is a very important festival for worshipping ancestors. Every household has to visit the graves to worship their ancestors, but a daughter who has become a nun is like spilled water, so a married daughter cannot go back to her parents’ home to visit the graves. Not suitable to go back to your parents’ home: Mid-Autumn Festival <br /> Many people think that you cannot go back to your parents’ home during Mid-Autumn Festival, because Mid-Autumn Festival itself is a day for family reunion. In traditional concepts, a married daughter belongs to another family, so she must go back to her husband’s home to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, which implies perfection and good luck. Not a good day to go back to your parents’ home: Laba Festival <br /> You cannot go back to your parents’ home on Laba Festival. It is said that there are two sayings. One is that going back to your parents’ home on Laba Festival will bring bad luck to your mother-in-law. The other is that going back to your parents’ home on this day will affect your family’s fortune. If you don’t eat rice from your parents’ home on Laba Festival, your ancestors will not be able to pay it back. This is what it means. Not a good day to go back to your parents’ home: Winter Solstice <br /> There is a folk saying that you cannot go back to your parents’ home on Winter Solstice. It is said that going back on this day will bring bad luck to your father-in-law. There is also a saying in rural areas that “If you don’t survive the winter on Winter Solstice, your father-in-law will die.” Although everyone thinks this is a rather feudal idea, no one dares to offend it intentionally. Unsuitable days to go back to your parents’ home: New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day <br /> New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, “fire on New Year’s Eve, lanterns on the 15th day of the first lunar month”, means that married daughters can go home to have a family reunion dinner with their parents, but they cannot spend New Year’s Eve at their parents’ home, as this will affect their parents’ family’s fortune. |
