Why don't you go back to your mother's house empty-handed? You'd better not take your mother's things, okay?

When a daughter gets married, she always brings gifts to her parents to show filial piety, but some daughters will not take anything when they go back to their parents' home. Some people say it is not good to go back to their parents empty-handed, so why not let them go back to their parents empty-handed?

First, why not go home empty-handed?

Actually, it has nothing to do with custom, but with etiquette.

1. In the old society, a married girl must bring something back to her parents' home, because it is a traditional custom in China for her married daughter to bring some gifts to her parents' home after splashing water.

2. There is also a saying that the daughter brings a lot of things back to her family, which proves that her daughter is well married and her family will have a lot of face. So many women want to bring back some face-saving gifts after marriage.

3. In fact, after marriage, the frequency of daughters going back to their parents' home becomes less. China has always been educating people with filial piety, so my daughter has been unfaithful to her parents for a long time. When she returned to her parents, she wanted to bring something to her parents to make her feel less guilty.

Second, you'd better not take anything from your mother's family when you go back.

It depends on the actual situation.

1. In the past, everyone had many children. If a married daughter goes back to her parents' house and takes something away, it will make the other children unhappy, especially if she has a married brother or younger brother, her sister-in-law will definitely be unhappy, so she generally won't take her parents home.

In modern times, everyone is actually gifted. When a married daughter returns to her family, it is inevitable to bring some local products from her family, especially for the only daughter. It is ok to bring more, but if you have a young aunt, you should take it carefully to avoid family discord.

That's why you can't go back to your mother's house empty-handed. It's best not to take her things. I believe you will know more after reading this article. I hope I can help you.
