Returning to one's home on the second day of the first lunar month is a traditional custom during the Chinese New Year. In traditional Chinese culture, the first day of the first lunar month (Spring Festival) is a day for family reunions, while the second day of the first lunar month is the time for married women to return to their parents' homes to visit their parents and relatives.
This custom reflects the importance attached to family and kinship in traditional Chinese culture. On this day, married women usually bring their husbands and children back to their parents' homes to reunite with their parents, siblings, and other loved ones for a happy time. It is also an opportunity to express filial piety and gratitude to one's parents.
On the way back to their parents' home, people usually bring some gifts such as fruits, pastries, tea, etc., as a sign of filial piety. At the same time, the mother's family will also prepare a sumptuous meal for the returning daughter's family to welcome them.
This custom is still widely inherited and carried forward in modern society, and has become an important moment for family reunion and family exchange during the Spring Festival. #正月初二回娘家#
