Who would be hurt by going back to one's parents' home during the Qingming Festival? Why can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the Qingming Festival?
Qingming Festival is one of the traditional festivals. So, let’s take a look at who would be in trouble if it were to go back to one’s parents’ home during Qingming Festival? Why can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the Qingming Festival? The second month of the lunar calendar has 29 days. It is the month of spring and full of hope. Shuimoxiansheng.com's special topic for the second month of the lunar calendar in 2021 will help you explore the auspicious and inauspicious days in the second month of the lunar calendar!Who would be hurt by going back to one's parents' home during the Qingming Festival?1. During the Qingming Festival, it is said that going back to your parents' home is not good for your father-in-law (referring to your husband's father).There is a folk saying: "Don't avoid Qingming, and your father-in-law will die", which means that if you go back to your parents' home during Qingming Festival, it will be bad for your father-in-law. However, this is a superstitious saying and should not be believed. 2. Going back to your mother's home during the Qingming Festival is not good for your brothers (referring to female brothers) Because according to traditional customs, visiting the graves on Qingming Festival is the responsibility of sons and daughters-in-law. If a daughter goes home to visit the graves on Qingming Festival, it will make the ancestors feel that they have no successors and will also be gossiped by the neighbors. Why can’t I go back to my parents’ home during the Qingming Festival?1. The main reason why married women cannot return to their parents' home during the Qingming Festival is due to feudal superstition.Because Qingming Festival is an important day for commemoration in China, every household must visit the graves to pay homage to their ancestors, but a married daughter is like spilled water, she is no longer considered a member of her natal family, so a married daughter cannot return to her natal family to visit the graves. Especially in rural areas, people believe that girls belong to someone else. If a family has a son, they are unwilling to let their daughters go back to their parents' home to visit the graves, for fear that others will say that there is no one in her mother's house. Only families without sons can allow girls to go back to their parents' home to visit the graves. 2. However, with the development of the times, this statement has gradually been abandoned. Because Qingming Festival is also one of the legal holidays, and the idea of favoring boys over girls is becoming less and less popular nowadays. Every parent hopes to be reunited with their children, and not being able to go back to the mother's home is superstition and there is no need to care about it. Some netizens said that if you are visiting the graves of your grandparents, it is also okay to go home and visit your parents. It is a superstitious belief that if the parents are still alive, it is not appropriate for a married daughter to return to her parents' home during the Qingming Festival. Now that society has progressed, fewer and fewer people care about such statements. It is a pity that "a son wants to support his parents but they are no longer around". During the Qingming Festival, children should go back to their hometown to visit their living parents, remind themselves not to be "late filial piety", cherish the limited time their parents have left, and care about their parents' lives and feelings. When do we burn paper money during the Qingming Festival?The customs of Qingming Festival vary from place to place. Some must burn incense in the morning, while others have no restrictions. Therefore, we must respect local customs and generally choose to burn incense at night. In some places, people visit their parents’ graves on Qingming Festival because married women come back to visit their parents’ graves on this day. Her brother will entertain her. "Early Qingming Festival, late 11th Night" means that on Qingming Festival, you should visit the graves before 12 o'clock and come back to eat; on 11th Night, you should visit the graves after lunch. Some people also say that people usually visit graves on Qingming Festival and burn paper before Qingming Festival or on the day of Qingming Festival. It is said that at that time, one hundred pieces of paper were burned for every two hundred.There is a folk legend that the underworld collects ghosts on Qingming Festival and gives them a holiday on October 1st of the lunar calendar. Therefore, if you visit the graves after Qingming Festival or before October 1st, the ghosts of the deceased have not yet had their day off and cannot come out to collect the paper money burned for them. Therefore, it is necessary to "get up early for Qingming Festival and get up late for 11th night". |
