Can I go back to my parents' home on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

Returning to one’s parents’ home is also called “returning to the parents’ home”.
The first day of the first lunar month is the beginning of the year. A married girl is like spilled water, and once she marries into her husband’s family, she becomes a member of that family. At the beginning of the New Year, the whole family is reunited, so it is naturally inconvenient to go back to your parents' home.
There are also superstitious beliefs that the deceased ancestors will return home from heaven at the end of the year (some say the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, some say the 29th or 30th) to enjoy the offerings. If the ancestors see "outsiders" in the house, they will not want to enter. Married women are considered outsiders, so married women cannot spend New Year's Eve or the first day of the new year at home. After the ancestors enjoy the offerings, they will return to heaven on the night of the first day (or second day) of the new year, and the daughter can return home.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also the first full-moon day of the year. The family may not be reunited because the daughter-in-law may go back to her parents' home. In Henan area, it is taboo to go back to one's parents' home to watch the lanterns on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and it is also taboo to worship the kitchen god. It is also taboo to go back to one's parents' home on the first day of the first lunar month. Because girls do not worship the Kitchen God, they are not allowed to return to their parents' home on the day of the worship.
Therefore, people usually return to their parents’ home on the second day or the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, so as to take care of the reunion of both parties in the marriage.
You cannot go back to your parents' home on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. This rule was very strict in the old society, especially in rural areas. Violating it was considered disrespectful. Although people in the new society no longer believe in ghosts and gods, they still abide by them strictly.
If for some special reason a married daughter spends the New Year at home, her parents, family and herself may be very unhappy. This is also a cultural phenomenon that has been passed down for a long time and may continue to be implemented for a long time. It is these customs, traditions, and even bad habits that together make up the New Year!
