Can’t I go back to my parents’ home on the third day of the third lunar month?

According to many customs, you are not allowed to go back to your mother’s home on the third day of the third lunar month! There are two reasons why you cannot go back to your parents’ home:
(1) Folk legend <br /> It is said that March 3rd is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West. She holds a peach feast in heaven and all the gods are invited to attend. Then, the gates of hell are opened. The underworld and the world of the living begin to communicate, and the souls underground return to their own homes. Married women cannot wash clothes or throw dirty water on this day, for fear of splashing the water on their returning ghost relatives. They cannot go back to their parents' home, for fear that the ghosts in the underworld will mistake you for an unmarried girl and find you another husband, thus hurting your husband.
(2) Women avoid evil days <br /> March 3rd is a traditional festival for the Han ethnic group and many ethnic minorities, and falls on the third day of the third lunar month. It was called Shangsi Festival in ancient times. According to legend, March 3rd is the birthday of Emperor Huangdi. There is a saying in ancient China that "On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head; on March 3rd, Xuanyuan is born." Moreover, March 3rd is one of the four traditional ghost festivals, so it is also said that women should not go out casually on this day. The reason why you can’t go back to your parents’ home on March 3rd is also related to this. It is said that the third day of March is an “evil day” and should be avoided.

Other taboos on the third day of the third lunar month

1. Don’t buy a car around March 3rd as traffic accidents are likely to occur.
2. Don't buy a house around March 3rd, so that your good brothers won't move in.
3. Don’t get married around March 3rd, so as not to make your good brothers jealous.
4. If a woman happens to be menstruating around March 3rd, she should not watch certain construction or sacrificial activities, so as not to offend the gods and cause misfortune.
5. If you are walking in the wilderness on March 3rd and feel someone calling you, don't look back easily, because it may be a good brother.
6. On the night of March 3rd, don't lean against the wall to rest. Don't lean against the wall for no reason, because good brothers usually like to rest on the wall, which can easily attract ghosts.
