Taboos on the 15th day of the first lunar month

Taboo 1: Killing
Do not kill any living beings on this day, as this is an ominous sign of seeing blood. Problems that may arise include financial loss and illness.
Taboo 2: Torn clothes
You are not allowed to tear your clothes on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. From a symbolic point of view, tearing your clothes on this day means you will be poor for the whole year.
Taboo 3: Losing money
It is not advisable to carry too much money with you on the Lantern Festival. If you lose it when you are outside, it means that you are unable to take care of your pocket and you will miss opportunities in the year.
Taboo 4: Children crying
A child's crying will bring bad luck to the family. No matter what happens, parents should try not to let their children cry. Because it is rumored to be the birthday of the Emperor of Heaven, celebration is the main purpose.
Taboo 5: Swearing
Avoid using bad words. It is said that if you do so, you will suffer disaster this year due to your words and inadvertently say the wrong thing, which may bring you great misfortune.

Can I stay at my mother’s house during the Lantern Festival?

Whether you can go back to your parents’ home on the Lantern Festival actually depends mainly on where you are from. The quality of going home on the Lantern Festival varies in different regions.
In some places in our country, it is believed that if a married girl returns to her parents' home on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it will be unfavorable to her father-in-law. In ancient times, the father-in-law was the head of the family. When his daughter came back from her husband's family to visit him, if she stayed for too long, the girl's parents would wonder whether her husband's family treated her well. At this time, the girl's family would blame the head of the man's family, that is, the father-in-law.
In some places, there is a saying that it is taboo to look at the lights at one's parents' home on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. A married daughter-in-law cannot stay at her parents' home on the Lantern Festival. Later, it evolved into not being able to look at the lights at one's parents' home or at one's husband's home. One has to stay at relatives' homes. Later, this custom was also spread to the Han nationality.
Therefore, it is not recommended to stay at your mother’s home on the Lantern Festival.
