What festivals does the son-in-law have to give gifts in a year?

A son-in-law sends three festivals to his parents-in-law every year until a hundred years later. This is a traditional folk custom. This has been the case since ancient times. These three festivals are Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival.

Dragon Boat Festival: The son-in-law gives holiday gifts three times a year, and the Dragon Boat Festival is one of them. On the occasion of the Dragon Boat Festival, the son-in-law will visit her parents with gifts such as zongzi, adult duck eggs, mung bean cake, tea, tobacco and alcohol.

Mid-Autumn Festival: Mid-Autumn Festival is a good day for reunion, and the son-in-law should also send a gift. Some places should start giving gifts after getting engaged, and some places should give gifts after getting married. The Mid-Autumn Festival is usually a gift box for mooncakes, but it can also be sent away.

Spring Festival: Spring Festival is one of the most important festivals in China. The son-in-law will take his wife back to her mother's house and give her parents-in-law a holiday gift. There are no specific requirements for the Spring Festival ceremony. You can choose by yourself, usually tobacco, alcohol and tea, or you can send clothes.

The son-in-law gives gifts three times a year:

Look at local customs: Whether a son-in-law needs to give gifts to his parents-in-law three times a year depends on local customs. If there is no local custom of giving gifts, then there is no need to give gifts during the three major festivals. If there is such a custom in the local area, the son-in-law needs to give gifts to her parents-in-law every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival.

Look at the distance: there is a certain gap between the present custom and the traditional custom, and many young people don't care about the traditional farewell ceremony. If the two families are close, the son-in-law can give a gift during the three major festivals. If the two families are far apart, only one holiday gift can be given during the Spring Festival, and red envelopes can be given on other festivals.
