Can Xiao Shu go back to her family? Why can't Xiao Shu go back to her family?

Can I go back to my parents' house in summer?

Summer is the solar term for returning home.

Slight summer heat is a solar term reflecting weather changes. Taboos are mostly related to agriculture, and there is no taboo that is not suitable for going back to her family.

But summer is the end of the afternoon and the beginning of the month, so there are different opinions about the time of summer.

If the brother-in-law is in June of the lunar calendar, he can go back to his mother's house, but if the brother-in-law is in May of the lunar calendar, there is a saying that he can't go back to his mother's house in some areas.

The heat is in the fifth month of the lunar calendar;

May of the lunar calendar is called poisonous month and evil month, and the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May is even more poisonous month.

If the summer solar term coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival, some places are not suitable for going back to my parents' home. In our country, there is a saying that when a daughter gets married, she can't go back to her mother's house during the Dragon Boat Festival. Even if you go back, you can't eat zongzi from your mother's family, or you will be unlucky.

This custom is quite popular in Shandong. They think that women are not allowed to go back to their parents' homes on any big festival, and they should "hide from the lights" even if they are not allowed to look at them on the fifteenth day of the first month. There is even a proverb that if they eat their mother's zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, the whole family will die, which means that if they eat their mother's zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, their relatives will suffer.

Of course, this is only a custom in some areas. In fact, the Dragon Boat Festival in May of the lunar calendar is more about going back to your mother's house. In ancient times, Dragon Boat Festival was called Daughter's Day.
