What does it mean to buy fish for parents in February?

Daughters can repay their parents' kindness in raising children, and they can also pay their parents' love for their daughters. It's killing two birds with one stone, and this custom is also meaningful.

If you want to deliver fish in leap month, you must find a good time. There is an old custom that a married daughter should steam a fish and send it to her family in a leap month. In the past, people lived a hard life of "six months of bran vegetables and six months of grain", and the phenomenon of spending money on grain also occurred from time to time. Most people live according to the lunar calendar, catching up with each other for more than a month. My daughter is worried that her family will starve after a long year, so she will take time to steam a fish and send it quickly. "Fish" and "fish" are homophonic, and the daughter naturally hopes that her family can be happy and prosperous.

The custom of sending noodle fish in leap month has been continuing, but it has also undergone some evolution. Due to the continuous improvement of people's living standards, they can eat pasta every day, and most people don't send noodle fish, but really lively real fish. This custom not only allows daughters to repay their parents' kindness in raising their children, but also helps parents miss their daughters. It's killing two birds with one stone, and it's meaningful to continue this custom. Therefore, sending noodles fish to my parents in leap month not only expresses my wishes to my parents, but also hopes that my parents will be healthy and comfortable in the future. For the record, the answer is for reference only. Please don't be blind and superstitious.
