Whenever the couple go to their relatives' home to pay New Year greetings during the Spring Festival, relatives will arrange to sleep in separate rooms. Why?

In many places, especially in rural areas, during the Spring Festival, couples go to relatives' homes to pay New Year greetings, and relatives will arrange to sleep in separate rooms. When I knew this, I was puzzled. Couples go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings. As the host family, they should prepare a room for the couple to rest. But relatives in some places can't let husband and wife share the same room. Later, after some understanding, I gradually accepted this practice. Then, why can't couples live together when they go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings? First of all, some places are conservative and keep this tradition. Secondly, people in some places think it is unlucky for couples to sleep in other people's homes.

First, some places are conservative and have retained this tradition.

In some places, especially in rural areas, old people are not allowed to sleep together in their own homes. The main reason for this situation is that people think that men and women are different and cohabitation is immoral. People in the countryside will often come to see us, and we often talk about some topics together. If people know that there are men and women sleeping together in their family, the family will receive special respect and lose face. Because of this traditional concept, in some places, couples are absolutely not allowed to sleep together.

Secondly, people in some places think it is unlucky for couples to sleep in other people's homes.

There are still some places, especially some elderly people, who feel that if there are men and women sharing the same bed at home, it will bring bad luck to the family. Personally, I don't understand how this bad luck came about. Maybe it's because men and women are different, so we can't sleep together. Although the explanation is awkward and far-fetched, it is indeed this reason that couples are not allowed to sleep together. Anyway, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and you have to listen to other people's arrangements when you go to other people's homes.

So, don't be surprised if we visit other people's houses or friends' houses during the Spring Festival, and if they don't let you live with your wife at night.
