What day is Huimen?

Return visits are usually on the third day of marriage. Huimen refers to a woman's first visit to her family after marriage.

Huimen, also called mothering, is a traditional marriage custom in China. Going back to the door means that the daughter and son-in-law go back to their daughter's house to recognize the door and worship their relatives. The time for returning home to get married will vary from region to region, but most of the time is usually around three days. In ancient times, it was the third, sixth or seventh, eighth and ninth day of marriage, and now there are people who go home on the second day of marriage or at the full moon.

Because the "double door" is called "double door" because the newlyweds go back to the door together and take the auspicious meaning of pairs. When returning to the door, the old custom stipulates that the bride should go ahead, and when returning to the man's house, the groom should go ahead, because this return to the door is the first time for the daughter to return to her family after her wedding, and some of them are also called "decapitation". After the "two-way door", it is generally not allowed to spend the night at the parents-in-law's house, and you must return to the man's house on the same day.

Huimen refers to the woman's first visit to her family after marriage, the third day after the wedding. For the bride, this is the first time she has returned to her parents' home.

There are two algorithms for going home in three days: the first is to calculate the wedding day, and two days from the wedding day is the time to go home; The second algorithm is not counting the wedding day, and three days from the wedding day is the return time. At present, the first calculation method is adopted in most places, that is to say, counting the wedding day, two days from now is the day when the couple will return to China.
