When is the eleventh day of the first lunar month?

The eleventh day of the first month is "son-in-law's day".

It is said that the father-in-law will give a banquet in honor of his son-in-law. Therefore, in the past, there was a folk saying that "the son-in-law is invited on the eleventh day of the first month, and the spring is full and the crops are bumper", which means that the son-in-law is invited on the eleventh day of the first month.

The food on this day also has certain customs. There is a saying that "when a son-in-law comes to the door, the chicken has no soul", which means that on the day of his son-in-law, the chicken in his father-in-law's family was scared to death because it would be killed to entertain him. On the one hand, it shows respect for the son-in-law; on the other hand, eating chicken represents good luck.
