At the beginning of the new year, it is a pleasure to share some customs and taboos with my family and friends on the second day of the New Year of the Tiger. With the continuous inheritance and continuous development of the mainland folk tradition, there are now some new customs and some taboos. Of course, folk customs vary from place to place. Let's take our Guangxi one and make some discussions.
I believe that many married people know that the second day of the first month of the first month is to take the wife and children back to the mother's house to visit the New Year, the daughter who marries out is a guest, in order to show respect for the son-in-law, so many places will call the second day of the first month of the first month "welcome son-in-law day", I believe that many fathers and mothers-in-law will see their daughters with children, and the husband will be very happy when she returns to her mother's house, after all, the daughter is married, and she is not often seen, let alone often together.
According to folk traditional customs, the god of wealth is invited to go home at night Chinese New Year's Eve, and then to the second day of the first month of the first month to make a sacrifice, especially now a lot of vendors, including previous shops, or now enterprises, will be very solemn on this day to worship the god of wealth, in order to be able to prosper in the new year. This custom is pinned on people's yearning for wealth and a better life, and everyone wants to have a prosperous and good head at the beginning of the year, and then work hard in the following year to achieve prosperity and development.
The second day of the Lunar New Year is taboo to ask for debts. On this day, everyone should not ask for debts from borrowers, which seems to be very disrespectful to others, and it is easy to make taboos, if you ask for debts on this day, others will also be very annoyed, and it will also bring bad luck to others.
Bring even gifts when you return home.
As mentioned above, the second day of the Chinese New Year is when the daughter is married and returns to her mother's house to visit the New Year, and returning to her mother's home is exquisite, and the hands cannot be empty, and the gifts brought must be even. It means that good things come in pairs, double happiness is at the door, do not bring singular gifts.
