The three most taboo things during the winter solstice!

One of the three most taboo things during the winter solstice: going out late at night
There are taboos on the day of the winter solstice, and the most taboo is going out late at night. In fact, the main reason is that the winter solstice is the day with the longest night in the year. After this day, the night time will begin to gradually shorten. It is said among the people that the winter solstice is the last day for ghosts to come out and wander around. Since it is the last day, if you go out at night you might see a scene of hundreds of ghosts parading at night, so it is taboo to go out late at night on the winter solstice.
The second of the three most taboo things during the winter solstice: getting married
There are also rules and regulations that prohibit getting married on the winter solstice. Because the ancients believed that the wedding day should not be the day before the four solstices, that is, the day before the Beginning of Spring, Beginning of Summer, Beginning of Autumn, Beginning of Winter and the Vernal Equinox, Autumnal Equinox, Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice. The energy of the universe is in a chaotic state. Traditional customs believe that these are the four absolute days and the four separation days, so it is not good to get married at this time. That is to say, there is a saying that you cannot get married on the winter solstice.
The third of the three most taboo things during the winter solstice: moving
There is also a saying and rule that you cannot move house on the day of the winter solstice. With the arrival of the winter solstice, the nine cold days mode begins, and the coldest weather will arrive during the 39th day of the coldest period. From the perspective of Feng Shui, a cold atmosphere will destroy the prosperity of the home. Therefore, if you want your new home to have good feng shui, it is not recommended to move on the winter solstice. You need to choose another auspicious day for moving.

Can’t sleep at my mother’s house during the winter solstice?

Yes, in rural my country, there is a saying that you cannot go back to your mother’s home on the Winter Solstice, and naturally you cannot sleep at your mother’s home on the Winter Solstice.
In some cities in northern my country, it is believed that one cannot return to one’s parents’ home during the winter solstice. This is due to the overly traditional customs and the feudal ethics of "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" that restrict daughters-in-law. In the past, daughters-in-law would return to their parents' home after the autumn harvest, so there was a custom of returning to their husband's home during the winter solstice.
Of course, with the development of the times, this idea is gradually abandoned. If you want to go back to your parents' home on the winter solstice, it is recommended that you discuss with your husband and go back together. You also need to inform your parents-in-law in advance to avoid making them unhappy.
