Can a married daughter spend New Year’s Eve at her parents’ home?

There is a taboo in Chinese people's New Year celebrations, that is, a married daughter cannot spend New Year's Eve at her parents' home. According to people's past understanding of the composition of a traditional Chinese family, when a woman gets married, she immediately becomes a formal member of the man's family, and her relationship with her former parents' family becomes that of "relatives".
For example, in the past, if a woman with the surname Li married into the Zhang family and became a member of the Zhang family, she would be called "Zhang Li" from then on. The original surname "Li" became a secondary surname after she got married. This is what it means. When a woman officially becomes a member of the man's family, it is impossible for her to be too casual when visiting her "relatives" home, not to mention that New Year's Eve is the day for family reunion.
In other words: On New Year’s Eve, how could family members go to a stranger’s house to celebrate the New Year? This was not allowed in the past. In feudal society, married women who often returned to their parents' home would not only be scolded by their parents-in-law, but also by their own family members. They would also be gossiped about by people around them, such as "eating from the same family as you do" and "being disloyal". Therefore, when New Year's Eve came, married daughters would not return to their parents' home, but would celebrate the New Year at their husband's home.
Of course, with the development of the times and the popularization of education, today's social atmosphere has become much more tolerant. The taboo of "married daughters cannot return to their parents' home on New Year's Eve" is no longer so strict. The era of industrial modernization has dealt a heavy blow to the traditional small-scale peasant economy of one family per household. Some of people's old ideas in the past have also been changed, which is the most important thing.
Summary: Through the above article, everyone must have known that the saying that a married daughter cannot return to her parents' home on New Year's Eve is more of a feudal idea, not a taboo in today's society. Therefore, it is okay for daughters to go back to their parents' home to celebrate New Year's Eve. I wish you all a happy reunion on New Year’s Eve!
