Why can't girls spend the New Year at their parents' home?

This is a folk custom. Isn't there a saying, married women, spilled water. New Year's Eve is a time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and a time for family reunion. On New Year's Eve, people keep vigil to welcome the New Year. The married daughter should be reunited with her husband and children, and can't live alone in her parents' house. Is it possible to bring children and husbands to their parents' home together? That would be even worse. They are people with foreign surnames. Strictly speaking, they are relatives, not members of their own clan.

In ancient society, boys were preferred to girls, mainly paternal. Because New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve meet at twelve o'clock, there are many traditional folk activities, such as preparing for the New Year's Eve, inviting ancestors, putting up Spring Festival couplets, and wrapping up jiaozi. Especially in sacrificial activities, it is required that the married daughter should belong to her husband's family and be busy there.

The first meal in the new year is very important. Cook in the dark in the morning, offer sacrifices, and pay New Year greetings to the elders after dinner. Outsiders are not allowed to eat this meal. The material is not so rich. What should I do if the cost of eating alone is too high? Therefore, we should eat in our own home during the New Year.

But now, many people are not so particular about it, and the clan relationship dominated by blood relationship has gradually disintegrated and faded with urbanization. Some families have only daughters but no sons because of family planning, so the only child can choose which parent's house to spend New Year's Eve in according to his own situation.

Another situation is that a divorced single woman can spend New Year's Eve at her parents' house if she doesn't have a separate house. In ancient times, it was a shameful thing. I was ashamed to meet my ancestors.

Thanks to this era and the civilized society where men and women are equal, many girls have strong earning power. After marriage, you can take your parents on vacation and stay in a hotel during the Spring Festival, regardless of your parents' family.
