Can I stay at my mother’s house during the Lantern Festival?Whether you can go back to your parents’ home on the Lantern Festival actually depends mainly on where you are from. The quality of going home on the Lantern Festival varies in different regions.In some places in our country, it is believed that if a married girl returns to her parents' home on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it will be unfavorable to her father-in-law. In ancient times, the father-in-law was the head of the family. When his daughter came back from her husband's family to visit him, if she stayed for too long, the girl's parents would wonder whether her husband's family treated her well. At this time, the girl's family would blame the head of the man's family, that is, the father-in-law. In some places, there is a saying that it is taboo to look at the lights at one's parents' home on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. A married daughter-in-law cannot stay at her parents' home on the Lantern Festival. Later, it evolved into not being able to look at the lights at one's parents' home or at one's husband's home. One has to stay at relatives' homes. Later, this custom was also spread to the Han nationality. Therefore, it is not recommended to stay at your mother’s home on the Lantern Festival. |
