When will the goose be sent away?

The custom of sending the old goose is: every year on the 16th day of the first month, the married daughter will take the "old goose" back to her parents' home to visit her parents. At this time, it is also the time when spring returns to the earth, when geese fly north, even geese fly back to the north, so there is a folk custom of "seeing off the old geese".

The origin of sending geese on the sixteenth day of the first month: It is said that geese in winter will cry bitterly, and when they cry, they will receive the old people, that is, the dead old people. In order to get rich, it is said that eating goose buns will eliminate disasters. Therefore, on the sixteenth day of the first month, my daughter will bring goose buns when she goes back to her family. In addition, because geese are migratory birds, they fly back every year, no matter where they fly, they must return to their original habitat, which means that daughters will never forget their parents' hometown, miss their parents far away and thank their parents for their kindness in raising them. Some goose buns are steamed with a few goose eggs or geese, which means that the daughter has offspring and is happy and passed down from generation to generation. Every Lantern Festival, in order to save trouble and honor parents, people who go to the market to buy goose buns. Usually buy a pair. This custom has been passed down to this day. Nowadays, there is nothing special about it. Most people are busy. The red tape of the past has long been simplified by everyone. If my daughter had to wait until the 16th day of the first month to see off the geese, she might have left home to work. In fact, it is not necessary to send geese on the sixteenth day of the first month. In order to show filial piety to parents, geese are usually sent from the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival, mostly on the second day of the first month. Whenever, send the goose. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
