"Married daughters can't spend the New Year at their parents' home" and "divorced women can't spend the New Year at their parents' home". There are such customs in many places.
There are two main reasons: First, the water spilled by the married daughter can no longer be eaten. The moral is to make her daughter miss home and devote herself to building a new home and living a good life in her husband's family.
Especially on New Year's Day, as the first day of the new year, my daughter can't spend the New Year at her parents' home.
China New Year is the biggest festival in China. On the 30th and the first day of the new year, God will be invited. When God is invited, his family must be present. If there are outsiders, God will not be invited back. My daughter is a married person with a foreign surname, so she can't go back to her mother's house on the 30 th and the first day of the first year, otherwise the feng shui will be bad and her mother's house will be unlucky next year.
In addition to the thirtieth and the first day, there is the fifteenth day of the first month, and the married daughter can't go back to her family.
These are just the traditional customs of China in the past. Nowadays, many young people no longer pay attention to them, especially those families with only one child. Let's celebrate the New Year in turn, so that they can spend more time with their parents.
The second is that "the married daughter will eat poor at home when she goes home for the New Year". During the Chinese New Year, please ask God to send God (that is, the ancestors of the family), and the married daughter will become someone else's.
If there is a married daughter present during the Chinese New Year, the ancestors will not be invited back. Bad luck at home during the Chinese New Year will make her family lose money, especially for her younger brother.
However, people nowadays keep pace with the times, and many people don't care about these things. For example, if the door is inserted backwards, the daughter will become a dual identity. Since she is both a daughter and a daughter-in-law, she can't pay attention. There are also one-child households, and there have also been changes. In addition, I happened to meet my divorced daughter, who also spent the New Year at her parents' home. In short, some old traditions should be inherited, while others should keep pace with the times. As long as the hidden rules are formed, everyone will accept them.
