Click in to learn more!Can I go back to my parents’ home for Chinese New Year’s Eve?Traditional concept: You cannot celebrate the Little New Year at your parents’ home <br /> The traditional Chinese understanding of family formation is that when a woman gets married, she immediately becomes a formal member of the man’s family. My former mother’s family has become just “relatives” to me. For example, in the past, a woman with the surname Li who married into the Zhang family was called "Zhang Li", which means this. The original surname "Li" became the secondary one.When a woman officially becomes a member of the man's family, it is impossible for her to be too casual when visiting her "relatives", let alone on the days when the family reunites on New Year's Eve or New Year's Eve. In feudal society, married women who often returned to their parents’ home would not only be scolded by their parents-in-law, but also by their own family members. You will also be gossiped about by people around you, saying that you are a traitor. Modern concept: It is appropriate to celebrate the Little New Year at one’s parents’ home <br /> Times are different now, and social customs have also changed. The era of large-scale industrialization has dealt a heavy blow to the traditional small-scale peasant economy. As long as people can support themselves, they don't have to live under the guise of others, and it is normal to go back to one's parents' home for the New Year. Especially for those living in cities, they don’t live with their parents-in-law or their own parents. The key thing is that people’s mindsets have completely changed. What should we pay attention to on New Year’s Eve?Avoid pounding rice:The 24th is generally known as the "Day of Sending Off the Gods". On this day, the God of Wind will ascend to heaven. If you pound rice, there is a risk that the God of Wind will be knocked down, causing more wind disasters in the coming year. Avoid crushing garlic: In some areas, it is believed that if you crush garlic at home on this day, the family will become poor, so you should not crush garlic on this day. In addition, it is said that in some areas of Hubei, it is taboo to slaughter animals on the Little New Year. |
