Different regions have different customs for this. 1. Hubei Province In Hubei Province, there is a saying among the people that "the Dragon Boat Festival is more important than the Spring Festival, as girls return to their parents' homes." It can be said that the Dragon Boat Festival is even more grand than the Spring Festival. When a daughter returns to her parents’ home during the Dragon Boat Festival, she will buy new clothes and shoes for her parents and prepare some Dragon Boat Festival delicacies. Before returning to her parents’ home, the daughter will boil and peel the duck eggs, then cut them into different colors and bring them to her parents’ home, in the hope of bringing good luck to her parents’ home. 2. Guangdong The Guangdong region also attaches great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival. According to the old custom, people send off their loved ones during the second to fourth day of the fifth lunar month. During the Dragon Boat Festival, when a daughter returns to her parents' home, she needs to fill a full box (six or four) with rice dumplings, pork, raw chicken, eggs, fruit, wine, etc. and go back to her parents' home to celebrate the festival with her elders. If the bride has just gotten married, she should weave hanging bags and sachets with five-colored silk threads in advance and give them to her underage children at her parents' home. 3. Beijing There is also a custom of returning to one's parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival in Beijing, so for Beijingers, the Dragon Boat Festival is also a Girls' Day. When a daughter returns to her parents' home during the Dragon Boat Festival, she must dress herself up beautifully, with colorful silk threads tied around her arms and a red velvet flower on her chest. If conditions permit, daughters will weave rice dumplings with five-colored silk threads, put Chinese herbs in the colorful rice dumplings, and give them to their parents to pray for their good fortune and longevity. 4. Shaanxi Province During the Dragon Boat Festival in Shaanxi Province, married daughters have to prepare some things when they return to their parents' home. Before a daughter returns to her parents' home on the Dragon Boat Festival, the deft daughter will sew various kinds of purses with colorful cloth and silk fabrics and take them back. Then her parents-in-law will give her summer clothes, fans, sun hats and other gifts. Among them, the indispensable one is the flowered bellyband embroidered with a toad, which is meant to bless the daughter's health. 5. Anhui Province The Dragon Boat Festival in Anhui Province is quite important. In addition to married daughters returning to their parents' home, everyone else also has to prepare gifts. When a daughter returns to her parents' home, she needs to prepare rice dumplings as festival gifts, and also give her parents chicken, fish, meat, wine, etc. When the son-in-law accompanies his wife to visit her parents, the father-in-law should prepare a straw hat and towel for the son-in-law, and a parasol for his daughter. When the daughter and son-in-law return to her parents' home, they will watch the Dragon Boat Festival folk performance "Zhong Kui Dance" with their family. It symbolizes the elimination of the five poisons, removing harm and bringing blessings, peace in all seasons, and longevity. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
