Can I go back to my parents’ home on the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raises its head?

Whether you can go back to your parents’ home on the second day of the second lunar month or not, the opinions and customs vary in different regions of our country.
——The saying that you can’t go back to your parents’ home
According to the customs of the old society, a newly married daughter-in-law had to serve her parents-in-law and husband at her husband's home before and after the New Year. After the 16th day of the first lunar month, she could temporarily return to her parents' home as a rest day, but she could only stay until the end of the first lunar month and had to go home after the first lunar month. Because after February 2nd it is the time for spring plowing, and people have to go to the fields to work. Therefore, you are not allowed to go back to your parents’ home on the day of the Dragon Raising its Head in February.
——You can go back to your parents’ home
In some areas, there is a saying that you can go back to your parents' home on the day of the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2nd. Another important custom on February 2nd is to pick up the "girl", that is, the parents' family takes back their married daughter, so there is a saying "February 2nd, bring the girl back". On the second day of the second month, her parents would come to pick her up and ask her to stay for a few days. Firstly, she had been busy for a long time in the first month of the year and was quite tired, so they wanted to take her back to her parents' home to have a good rest; secondly, the new year had just begun and they would be busy again, so they wanted to reward her. During the days after being brought back, the "girl" spent her time eating and drinking, visiting friends and chatting, and her life was relaxed and happy. While city dwellers "bring a girl" means bringing back the girl and her son-in-law for a sumptuous lunch together. This custom is also very popular in Beijing and most areas in northern my country, and many areas have continued to this day.

What are the taboos when returning to your parents’ home?

A married daughter must not touch pots or spoons when she returns to her parents' home.
We often hear sayings like "If you touch the spoon, your father-in-law will die, but your mother-in-law will" and "If you hold the pillar of fire, your father-in-law will die, but your son-in-law will." Although these words seem to be extremely feudal and superstitious and have no scientific basis, they have easily become curses due to being circulated among the people for a long time. Even if you know it is fake, hearing it often will have a negative impact on your psychology. Therefore, when a bride returns to her parents' home, it is best for her to follow these customs and try not to touch these taboo things.
