You can go back to your parents’ home On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head. In some areas, there is a custom of picking up the girl, that is, the girl's family takes back her married daughter. There is also a saying "On the second day of the second month, bring the girl back." For example, people in northern Jiangsu have more etiquette. A married girl cannot stay at her parents' home during the first month of the lunar year. After paying New Year's greetings at her parents' home on the second day of the lunar year, she must return to her husband's home on the same day. So on the second day of the second lunar month, her daughter's parents would take her back to stay with her for a few days. First, I felt that my daughter had been busy for a long time during the first month of the year, so I wanted to take her back to her parents' home to have a good rest; second, the new year had just begun and she would be busy again, so I wanted to reward my daughter. 2.

In some places, it is said that during the first month of the year, a daughter-in-law would be busy serving her parents-in-law at her husband's house. After the Lantern Festival in the first month of the year, the daughter-in-law would return to her parents' home to rest for a while. On the second day of the second month, she would go back to work in the fields. At this time, the daughter-in-law could no longer live in her parents' home, but had to go back to her husband's home to work. So gradually, the saying that a daughter-in-law should not return to her parents' home on the second day of the second month when the dragon raises its head became popular.
