Why can't a son-in-law spend New Year's Eve at her parents' house?

According to the old custom, it is not good to spend New Year's Eve at home. During the Chinese New Year, every family will ask God for gifts. If there are outsiders at home, the God of Wealth will be unhappy, and the fortune of natural families will also be affected.

In addition, the custom of Chinese New Year is to invite the kitchen god. If the daughter eats at home, it means that the family will be very poor, and the wealth of the family in the new year will also be affected.

Although the above statement has no scientific basis, it actually has some truth, because a woman will have her own small family after marriage, so she needs to set up her own small family wholeheartedly and live her own small life, otherwise it will really make the family unable to grow.

New Year's Eve is the day before the New Year and the last day of the year. On this day, people will prepare many meals, including jiaozi, and the family will be happy around the table.

What must be done on New Year's Eve is to put up Spring Festival couplets, also called door couplets, which symbolize people's yearning for a better life in the coming year. Usually, Spring Festival couplets are red, which increases the festive atmosphere and expresses people's desire to ward off evil spirits and satisfy their good wishes. However, if an elder in the family dies, you can't post Spring Festival couplets. It takes years to put up Spring Festival couplets.

People will also set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve, and they can hear firecrackers when they get up in the morning. Of course, if the local environment is seriously polluted, they can't set off firecrackers, which will destroy the environment. In many places, people will stay up all night on New Year's Eve. Young people will play cards and games, and older people will talk about their families.
