Can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the beginning of winter?

In some areas of our country, it is not recommended to go back to your parents' home on the day of Beginning of Winter.
Because in some places there is a saying: "If you don't mind the Beginning of Winter, your father-in-law will die", which means that if a married daughter returns to her parents' home on the Beginning of Winter, it will easily have a bad influence on her father-in-law.
But in fact, this is a feudal superstitious idea. The appearance and determination of the Beginning of Winter solar term is related to the determination of the climate.
The idea that it is a good time to go back to your parents' home during the Beginning of Winter to bury your deceased father-in-law has absolutely no scientific basis.

How to solve the problem of returning to my parents' home on the beginning of winter?

There is actually no problem in going back to your parents' home during the beginning of spring, and your father-in-law will not die, so no special solution is needed.
Li means to establish and start, indicating that winter begins from now on. Winter means the end, implying that crops should be stored after harvest. Traditionally in China, the Beginning of Winter is regarded as the beginning of winter.
The explanation of "winter" in "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" is: "Winter means the end, and all things are stored", which means that all autumn crops have been harvested and dried, stored in warehouses, and animals have also hidden themselves away to prepare for hibernation.
It seems that the Beginning of Winter not only represents the coming of winter, but to be more complete, it means the beginning of winter, when all things are stored away to avoid the cold.

Are there any holidays during which you are not allowed to go back to your parents’ home?

In our folk culture, it is not allowed to go back to your mother's home on March 3rd, Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Laba Festival, Winter Solstice, New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival.
However, these are all feudal and superstitious ideas, because many people nowadays are only children, and married daughters should go home often to visit their parents.
