Why did Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, stipulate that he should marry his daughter an

Go down and ask him.

When you go back to your parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, you can take your niece, the times are already developing, and there are not too many cumbersome customs.

1. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the married daughter will take her husband and children back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings. On this day, the daughter who returns to her parents' house must bring some gifts and red envelopes to distribute to her parents' children, and have lunch at her parents' house. This custom is said to have been established by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

In some places, the god of wealth is worshiped on the second day of the new year and prays for good fortune in the new year.

2. The second day of the first month is called the "beginning of the year", from this day on, people take gifts such as three animals, glutinous rice cakes, fried dumplings, etc., to visit relatives and friends. Shaoguan Shatian area kills live chickens to start the year, taking the meaning of full of life. In terms of food customs, the noon meal on the second day of the first lunar month is called "New Year's dinner", and the dishes are diverse, all of which have auspicious meanings.

3. The north worships the God of Wealth on the second day of the first lunar month, and on this day, whether it is a commercial store or an ordinary family, it is necessary to hold a sacrifice to the God of Wealth. Each family sacrifices to the God of Wealth brought on Chinese New Year's Eve. In fact, the crude prints that were bought were incinerated.

At noon on this day, we have to eat wontons, commonly known as ingots soup. Fish and mutton were used for sacrificial offerings. The big business houses in old Beijing have carried out large-scale sacrificial activities on this day, and the sacrifices should be made with five major offerings, namely the whole pig, the whole sheep, the whole chicken, the whole duck, the whole red live carp, etc., hoping to make a fortune this year.

No, you cannot. You can only bring your own family with you.

Now, of course, not everyone abides by such customs, but returning to their parents' home is still a major event that cannot be avoided. In addition, don't think that you don't need to abide by the relevant taboos because you have become a new member of another family, you must know that some elders are still very taboo that juniors intentionally or unintentionally violate taboos, so it is better to remember these taboos of "returning to your parents' home in the second year of junior high school".

In addition, in some areas, the "return to one's mother's home" is set on the third day of the Lunar New Year, or even the sixth day of June. However, there must be customs and taboos that they should abide by, and in short, if you know more and follow more traditions, you will not be bothered.

There are two popular sayings: one is that if a daughter chooses to go back to her parents' house on the first day of the new year and does not stay at her husband's house for reunion celebrations, it means that she is not happy after marrying her husband, so she can't wait to return to her parents' house for help; The other one is:

There is a folk proverb that "a married daughter is like water spilled out", so if a daughter returns to her parents' home on the first day of the Lunar New Year, not only will it not bring joy to her parents' family, but will make her mother's family poor and make her family poor.

In fact, there is basically not so much attention now, because the married girl can not go home for the New Year on Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, and it is purely some customs of the old society, and now there are basically fewer people who pay attention to this, after all, there are so many only children now, who to go to for the New Year must be well distributed. But the girl who got married couldn't go home for the New Year on these two days, purely because the things that people before them paid attention to were different.

The first is because after a girl gets married, she is an outsider in the eyes of people, and people at that time felt that during the period of the New Year, there would be ancestors from another world to their homes to be worshipped, and if outsiders were at home, the ancestors would not be willing to enter the door to enjoy the offerings, so married women were not allowed to spend Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day at home.

And they thought at that time that the ancestors must have to stay at home for a period of time, that is, around the 28th of the lunar month, they had to stay for three or four days, so the ancestors would basically return to their world on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so that the daughter who was married abroad could go back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings on the second or third day of the Lunar New Year.

It may also be related to a previous rumor, it is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty became the emperor, because he had a daughter who married into a relatively poor family, and the other daughters were married very well, so during the New Year, the other daughters liked to go to their mother-in-law's house for the New Year, and this daughter liked to stay in the palace for the New Year. Later, when the horse came to pay New Year's greetings, Zhu Yuanzhang found out that his daughter did not greet her mother-in-law for the New Year, so he drove her daughter back. It was from that time that the custom of returning to her parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings to the married daughter continued.

Because if you go back to your parents' house, it means that you are not loyal to your in-laws.

This is just a traditional custom, and it doesn't have to be taken seriously. After all, the daughter who married out spilled the water.

Because it is unlucky to go home, this is just a traditional custom, and there is no need to take it seriously.

The daughter who got married spilled the water, so she was not allowed to meet her mother's family on the first day of the new year.

Because there are different reasons for the existence of different customs in different places.

This looks unlucky, after all, the daughter who married out spilled the water.

This may be the local custom somewhere, so there is such a saying.

I think there are a lot of reasons, don't you think so?

This should be some custom in some places, and it cannot be believed one-sidedly.

Because it is unlucky to go home, this is just a traditional custom.

Our custom in Nantong is that the first year of junior high school can only walk around the neighbors, and the second year of junior high school can go to their parents' house in pairs.

Spring Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, is a day of prayer and reunion, the girl who marries out, can be said to be someone else's family, as the saying goes, the girl who marries out splashes out of the water, so the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year can not be spent in the mother's house, should be at the mother-in-law's house, accompany the parents-in-law to celebrate the New Year, serve the in-laws, accompany their husbands and children to celebrate the New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are some places where you can't go to the door and go to relatives, unless someone in that family dies (normal death) in the first Spring Festival, you can go to burn incense and wax, in addition, you can't go to relatives, so the girl who marries out can't go back to her parents' home on the first day of the new year, and her mother's family can be said to be the most important relative, so she chooses to go back on the second day of the new year, and it is the first relative that the girl goes.

When you return home, you should bring a gift, called a hand or a companion. It is necessary to make a large bag of biscuits and candies, and distribute them to the neighbors and villagers by the mother, just like the scene of the New Year. If there are more than one daughter in the family, and these daughters do not return on the same day, then they should come one by one, and the gift is quite small, just four biscuits.

However, it reflects a lot of affection, and the real thing is "courtesy and affection", which expresses the girl's earnest thoughts for the villagers. When the girl returns home, if there is a nephew at home, she must pay for it again when she is an aunt, although she has already given it when she gives the New Year's money on the first day of the new year, but this time the meaning is different.

The reason why the daughter who is married should return to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year instead of the first day of the Lunar New Year:

Spring Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, is a day of prayer and reunion, the girl who marries out, can be said to be someone else's family, as the saying goes, the girl who marries out splashes out of the water, so the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year can not be spent in the mother's house, should be at the mother-in-law's house, accompany the parents-in-law to celebrate the New Year, serve the in-laws, accompany their husbands and children to celebrate the New Year.

In some places, the second day of the new year is called "Son-in-law Day", that is, the second day of the new year is the day to welcome the son-in-law, go back to your parents' house to pay attention to it, you should arrive before 12 noon on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is best to arrive at about 9 o'clock in the morning, so that you can cook on the stove, you can not step on the meal, if there are special circumstances, do not exceed 12 o'clock, and you must leave before 6 o'clock in the evening.

Returning to her parents' home in the second year of junior high school is a guarantee of women's rights in ancient times, allowing the married daughter to go home to reunite with her relatives, also known as being a guest or returning to her parents' home in the second year of junior high school. And why is it the second year of junior high school and not the first year of junior high school? According to the older generation, when the daughter returns to her parents' house in the spring of the first year of junior high school, she will eat her mother's family, so in the early days, it is also common for daughters from other places to return to their hometowns, but they will stay at a friend's house first, and then return home when they arrive in the second year of junior high school.

In addition, when the girl and son-in-law leave, the mother's family should return the gift, that is, they should not accept all the gifts, but should return two pieces and let them take them back. These customs, with specific practices, show people's reunion, harmony, etiquette, filial piety ethics and affection, reflecting that the Chinese nation is a nation that attaches importance to emotion and affinity, and is a country of civilization and etiquette.

The customs and habits of various places, there are also some places where they return to their parents' homes on the fourth and fifth days of the junior high school.

The custom of the second year of junior high school is to go back to their parents' home, and parents who have daughters are waiting.

As an ancient Chinese folk culture, there are many particulars, usually there are 3 times a year to go back to the mother's home, the first is to return to the mother's home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, known as the "Son-in-law Day"; The second is 3 days after the wedding, called "back to the door", the third is the Dragon Boat Festival, called "send May end", the fourth is the Double Ninth Festival, called "send September 9", and there is a place on the 14th day of the first month, called "send lanterns", China has a vast territory, and the customs are slightly different in various places.

Because according to the custom, you have to go to your parents-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, so the other most important day is only the second day of the new year, of course, you have to go back to your parents' house to see your parents.

The so-called returning to her parents' home of course refers to a married daughter bringing her husband and children back home to pay New Year's greetings to her parents. Why can't you have to be in the second year of junior high school (the customs vary from place to place, and in many places it is the third year of junior high school)? (1) Superstitious beliefs hold that the deceased ancestors return home from heaven at the end of the year (some say 28 of the lunar month, some say 29 or 30) to enjoy offerings; (2) If the ancestors saw that there were "outsiders" in the house, they would not want to enter the house; (3) a married woman is considered an "outsider"; (4) Therefore, married women cannot spend Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year at home; (5) After the ancestors enjoy the offerings, they return to heaven on the evening of the first (or second) day of the new year, and the daughter can go home.

This rule was very strict in the old society, especially in the countryside, and it was disrespectful to violate it. Although people in the new society do not believe in ghosts and gods, they still observe them more strictly. If for some special reason, a married daughter celebrates the New Year at home, then parents, family members, including themselves, may be very unhappy.

It is also a cultural phenomenon that has been around for a long time, and may be carried out for a long time. It is such customs, traditions, and even bad habits that have been passed down to this day.

Returning to her mother's home, also known as "going to her mother's house" is a very distinctive folk custom, the daughter who got married on the second day of the first month should go back to her mother's house, and she should walk with her husband, so this day is also called "Son-in-law Day" or "Aunt Day".

Folks believe that the married daughter cannot return to the door on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and returning to the door will make her mother's family poor, and she can only return to her parents' house after the second day of junior high school. There is a folk proverb that says: "On the second day of the first lunar month, the road is full of Xiaosheng and Xiaodan", which refers to the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the streets are full of men carrying gifts and preparing to return to their parents' homes with their wives.

The husband of the woman is called the son-in-law, and the wife is also called the husband.
