Can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the Dragon Boat Festival?

Whether you can go back to your parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival depends on whether you decide based on the actual situation. This cannot be generalized.
1. Situations where you cannot return to your parents’ home
If there is a local custom that you cannot go back to your parents' home on the Dragon Boat Festival, then it is recommended not to go back there. In Shandong Province in our country, there is a saying that married daughters cannot go back to their parents' home on the Dragon Boat Festival. There is also a custom that they cannot eat rice dumplings from their parents' home. It is believed that if a married daughter eats rice dumplings from her parents' home, it will bring bad luck to the whole family. Although this statement is feudal and superstitious, it is still recommended to follow it because it is a custom.
2. Situations in which you can return to your parents’ home
Because our country is relatively vast, the circumstances surrounding whether or not one can go back to one's parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival are different. In some areas of our country, people have to go back to their parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is also called the Returning Home Day. A married daughter on the Dragon Boat Festival needs to bring her husband and children back to her parents' home, gather with her family, talk about recent events, and spend more time with her parents.
Therefore, whether you can go back to your parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival depends on the customs and habits of that day, and it cannot be generalized.

What are the consequences of going back to my parents’ home during the Dragon Boat Festival?

There are no consequences for going back to your mother's home during the Dragon Boat Festival, but in some parts of our country there is a saying: "If you eat the Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings from your mother's home, the whole family will be dead."
But in fact, this is all feudal superstition. It does not say that going back to your mother's home to eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival will definitely bring bad luck to your mother's home.
With the development of the times, life nowadays is no longer as sophisticated as it was in ancient times. In the evolution of the times, many of the dross of traditional customs have been abandoned. In ancient times, people tended to favor boys over girls. They believed that a married daughter was no longer a member of their family and would be a guest when she returned home. That’s why there was a saying that one should not return to one’s parents’ home during the Dragon Boat Festival. However, with the development of the times, both boys and girls are the apple of their parents' eyes and parents love them very much. During the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone hopes to get together with their children.
If a married daughter wants to go back to her parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival, it is recommended that she discuss this with her husband. If her parents have a custom that prohibits her from going back to her parents' home, then it is recommended that she ask her parents before deciding whether she can go back.
