What is the point of returning to my mother’s house on the second day of the first lunar month? What does returning to the door imply?
The first month is a festival for reunion, and it is also a day to visit relatives and friends, so many people will go back to their natal home during the Spring Festival, but the first month is a month with many taboos.Auspicious days are also particular, let’s go and see what is particular about them.
The origin of returning to my natal home on the second day of the Lunar New Year
On the second day of the first lunar month, a married daughter will bring her husband and children back to her natal home to pay New Year’s greetings, commonly known as "Welcoming Son-in-law Day".This originates from the custom of worshiping ancestors in ancient China.Worshiping ancestors has been the top priority of Chinese people since ancient times.The ancestors who have passed away will return home from heaven to enjoy offerings at the end of the year, usually on the first day of the first lunar month.However, if there are outsiders in the family, they are reluctant to come back.Once a daughter gets married, her identity changes, and she is no longer a member of her own family, but a member of her husband’s family.If a married daughter returns to her natal home on the first day of the new year, the ancestors will be unhappy.Therefore, a married daughter must return to her natal family on the second day of junior high school instead of the first day of junior high school.Violating this time will give people the feeling of being unfilial.
The importance of going back to my mother’s house on this day
According to traditional customs, in many places, daughters who are married on the first day of the party and government cannot come back.Because in the concept of people in these areas, a married daughter is like water poured out, and she needs to be reunited with her husband’s family on the first day of the new year..But the implication is that the married daughter is already the daughter-in-law of someone else’s family.During the Chinese New Year, there must be many people from the husband’s family to pay New Year’s greetings.On the first day of Chinese New Year, if a married daughter returns to her natal home, it means that her natal family will be poor.Therefore, she can only return to her natal home during the second or third day of junior high school.Generally, it is more lucky to return to her natal home at this time.
What does the return door imply
On the second day of the first month of the lunar calendar, many places in China have the custom of returning to their natal homes.Married daughters have to bring gifts back to their parents’ homes, which implies the concept of equality between men and women.In ancient China, men were superior to women, and women’s status was very low.When married, they obeyed their husbands.There is also a folk proverb "a married girl pours out water", which means that a married woman must return to her natal home without reason, and spend more time serving her parents-in-law.With my husband, I hope that the child can remember his mother in his heart when he returns home at this time.
