Why don't you allow your daughter to go back to her mother's house on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month?

This is the rule. In today's society, many only-child families and mother-in-law want their daughters and sons-in-law to go home for the New Year. Why are married daughters not allowed to go home in some rural areas on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month?

Because it is said in folklore that Kitchen God visited the Jade Emperor on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month and won't come back until the fourth day of the first lunar month. When he visited the Jade Emperor these days, he would offer sacrifices to Kitchen God and bribe him. Don't speak ill of him when he visits the Jade Emperor, but speak well of him. It is said that Kitchen God is very masculine and thinks that the married daughter should be at home, so going back to her mother's house in the twelfth lunar month will make Kitchen God angry.

According to the lyrics of "Pepsi Avoid Songs", on the 54th and 23rd of the first month, my mother's family had Mimi to give birth to. There has been literature since ancient times, and word of mouth is not easy. In the countryside where there was nothing to do, Li Yan entered the house and lost three men. On the fifth day of the fifth year, my parents died and I was born at the age of fourteen. Sailing in the water, meeting business, all because of the 23rd.

To put it simply, it is easy to have an accident when you go back to your mother's house on the 23rd, and it is easy to have a traffic accident when you are working outside the ship.

These are the reasons why rural women couldn't go home on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month in the past, but I don't believe anyone who believes this now. However, some customs should be respected, and family conflicts cannot occur because of these taboos.
