Second, during the Spring Festival, every family needs to respect ghosts and gods. If a woman goes back to her mother's house for the New Year, it will also have a bad influence when she worships ghosts and gods. Because the married woman is already someone else's family, and when she respects ghosts and gods, her family respects her own ghosts and gods, which has nothing to do with this woman. This situation will generally affect her family's fortune for a whole year and should be avoided.
