The daughter who becomes a family in the first month and the waxing moon is the hardest, because she has to be busy with the big and small things of the in-laws' family, and during the New Year, she can return to visit her parents and elders on the second day of the first year, and other times she has to be busy with the big and small things in her own home and in-laws' family.

The eleventh day of the first month is also the family of the family who just had children, back to the parents-in-law's house to the parents' side of the relatives to visit the New Year's day, this time to send some candy to the parents' relatives and friends, but also shows that their own family to add ding, this candy is generally based on sesame candy, indicating that the family has many children and many blessings and days such as sesame blossoms are high.

"Uncle to the door, the chicken has no soul", the eleventh day of the first month is the day when the husband entertains the son-in-law, the meal should naturally be prepared more solemnly, so that the son-in-law seems to have a sense of being valued, so that in the new year for his daughter better, can husband and wife and prosper.
The dishes needed by the husband to entertain the son-in-law naturally have to prepare some dishes with good meanings, such as chicken is a must, and to choose a rooster; the fish should be on the whole, indicating that life is rich and surplus, and the dishes must be even, and the singular will appear unlucky.

The eleventh day of the first month is also known as the "Shangcai Festival", because it is the day when the son-in-law and daughter return to the door, the grandmother and grandfather have to prepare a small lantern for the nephew, which has the meaning of welcoming the spring and blessing.
I remember that once after the fifth day of the first lunar month, there were many vendors selling lanterns on the street, and the lanterns at that time were made of paper paste, leaving a lamp holder in the middle, and putting a half-cut candle on it to light, and many children would carry this small lantern out to play at night, which had the beautiful meaning of a year without disease and a bright road ahead.
Now the lantern has become made of plastic, illuminated by batteries and light bulbs, but it makes me feel less like a paper lantern.
The 2 major taboos of the eleventh day of the first month
First, avoid bed
The eleventh day of the first month has reached the working day, at this time people have begun to study and work normally, and the eleventh day of the first month is already after the spring, the plan of the year lies in the spring, the plan of the day lies in the morning, this time can not be bedridden.
On the eleventh day of the first month, if you go to the old man's house, you must hurry up early and not late, although on this day you are a guest of the old man's family, but you arrive or step on the meal after noon, which is obviously a particularly rude behavior.
Second, women should not move needles and threads
Although the eleventh day of the first month is called "Son-in-law Day", if there is no daughter, where is the son-in-law? This day is actually a holiday for the married daughters, and it is also a day for their parents to entertain their son-in-law in order to make them more important in the in-laws' family.
The woman who married on the day of the son-in-law should not work and move the needle and thread, because as their own festival, busy with a waxing moon and the first month, they should also take a good rest to enjoy the warm time of reunion with their families, and after the eleventh day of the first month, they will start a new year of busyness, this day of needlework work by their parents will feel painful, but also feel that their son-in-law is not enough to hurt the daughter-in-law, such a day also let the daughter-in-law work.
