Can I go back to my parents’ home during the Double Ninth Festival in 2018?

Can I go back to my parents’ home during the Double Ninth Festival? In fact, the customs vary from place to place, because in some places it is taboo to go back to one's parents' home on the Double Ninth Festival, and there is a saying that going back to one's parents' home on the Double Ninth Festival will bring disaster to the mother-in-law. But the girl’s family is afraid that her daughter will be bullied by her husband’s family, so they have the custom of sending flower cakes. However, there is no such taboo in some places. For example, in Guangxi, many married daughters will return home to visit the mountains and "sweep the tombs" on the Double Ninth Festival to pray for happiness and peace for the family.
Of course, as time goes by, more and more young people don’t care much about this. In addition, the Double Ninth Festival is also known as the Elderly Day, and it is a day to send blessings and show filial piety to the elderly. Therefore, if you don’t have the tradition of not going back to your parents’ home on Double Ninth Festival, you must go back to visit your parents, help the elderly with their work, and show your filial piety.

On which days can’t I go back to my parents’ home?

New Year <br /> In some rural areas, married girls must stay at their husband's house on the first day of the New Year and cannot spend the New Year at their parents' house. They can only go back on the second day of the New Year when their parents call them back. It is said that it would be bad for a married girl to spend the New Year at her parents' home.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month <br /> The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is particularly lively in rural areas, when people in the village enjoy lanterns and walk to cure diseases. You cannot go back to your mother’s home on this day, and there is a saying that “after seeing the lights at your mother’s home, you lose your roots at your mother’s home.” People in rural areas avoid this. In fact, it is not that weird. It is just the thinking that is playing tricks on us.
February 2 <br /> On February 2, when the dragon raises its head, one cannot go back to one’s parents’ home. This custom was originally intended to encourage the daughter-in-law to go back to her husband’s home earlier, and later it became a popular custom. The husband's family will also pick up the daughter-in-law and bring her home on the second day of the second lunar month, which is also called picking up the aunt. In fact, people start working in the fields after February 2nd, and the wife also needs to take charge of household affairs.
Qingming Festival <br /> The Qingming Festival is one of China's traditional festivals for worshipping ancestors. In rural areas, the Qingming Festival is taken very seriously. Moreover, a married girl is not allowed to return to her parents’ home to visit the graves. It is said that her parents are afraid of gossip and think that there is no one at home.
May 5th <br /> There is a saying: May 5th, take care of your mother-in-law. You cannot go back to your parents' home on this day. If you do, it will be disrespectful to your mother-in-law. In rural areas, filial piety is the most important thing. Even if it is unreasonable, people are afraid of gossip.
Half a Year <br /> In many areas, the custom of celebrating half a year is popular, and this day is as lively as the Chinese New Year, which also means that half of the year has passed. The first day of the sixth lunar month is half a year old, but it also marks the end of the Lunar New Year, so one cannot go back to one’s parents’ home on this day.
July 15 <br /> July 15 is the Ghost Festival, and you cannot go back to your parents’ home on this day. The reason is unknown, but some people still follow this custom.
Winter Solstice <br /> In rural areas, there is a saying that "If you don't celebrate the winter solstice, your father-in-law will die." During the winter solstice, you cannot eat at your mother's house and must go back to her house, otherwise it will be bad for your father-in-law. I have never understood what whether or not to go back to my parents' home during the winter solstice has to do with my father-in-law. I'm afraid no one knows now, but no one will deliberately violate it.
