Can I go back to my parents' home during the Lantern Festival?

Not suitable.

Traditionally, Lantern Festival is not suitable for returning to one's family. In ancient times, it was thought that a daughter who got married did not belong to her parents' family, and the Lantern Festival was a day of reunion. I was afraid that my daughter-in-law would not reunite with her family and make her husband's family unhappy. So it's usually the second day of the first month and the sixteenth day of the first month. In order to take care of the reunion and celebration of both parties to the marriage.

There is a custom of praying for dolls on the Lantern Festival. On the 15th day of the first month of every year, many pilgrims will bow down and offer incense before sending their children to the queen, and bring home all kinds of lively and handsome clay dolls, hoping that they can have lively and lovely children. This is the custom of praying for dolls in Heluo area. The time to pray for dolls is not fixed, mostly on the fifteenth day of the first month. In fact, the custom of praying for dolls is that parents hope that newlyweds will have children early and their families will be prosperous. At the same time, it is also a kind of supervision and reminder to his son and daughter-in-law.
