Can a married daughter go back to her parents’ home on the beginning of winter?

There are many folk customs, some of which are rarely remembered, while some are still widely popular in some places. Many young people do not understand them and think they are the dregs of feudal superstition. For example, a married girl is often not allowed to return to her parents' home. "Look at the lights in her mother's house, and touch the roots of her mother's house." It is taboo to return to her parents' home on the beginning of spring, because "spring" is bigger than "year", otherwise her parents' home will be poor.
You cannot go to your mother’s home on the Lantern Festival, as “if you see the lanterns at your mother’s home, you will be poor for the rest of your life”. You cannot spend Qingming Festival, October 1st, Beginning of Winter, Laba Festival, and Winter Solstice at your mother’s home, for example, “If you don’t celebrate Qingming Festival, the old man will die”, “If you don’t celebrate Winter Solstice, your husband and wife will die”, “If you don’t celebrate Beginning of Winter, the old man will die”, etc.
Women must spend certain holidays at their husband’s home, or at least they cannot go back to their parents’ home at this time. Nowadays, many young couples have only one child. They hope to be reunited with their families during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. So some people suggest "taking turns, going to the man's home this year and the woman's home next year", believing that this is the fairest thing to do.

What are the taboos during the Beginning of Winter?

People believe that eating raw or cold radishes or fruits on the Beginning of Winter will harm the body. In Changli, Hebei, Qingyun, Shandong and other places, southeast winds are taboo on the Beginning of Winter, otherwise there will be a poor harvest in the next year. In Sichuan Province, people prefer sunny days instead of cloudy days on the Beginning of Winter, because sunny days can protect cattle and horses from frostbite. There is a saying in Xingning, Hunan, "If there is no rain on the Beginning of Winter, the whole winter will be sunny," which means that it is better to have sunny days on the Beginning of Winter. There is also a saying in Hangzhou, Zhejiang and Xichang, Xi'an that "If it is sunny at the beginning of winter, it will be sunny all winter." The opposite is true in Guang'an, Sichuan. A local proverb says: "If it rains at the beginning of winter, the whole winter will be sunny. If it doesn't rain at the beginning of winter, the whole winter will be wet."
