The custom of girls returning to their parents' homes on the fourth day of the lunar new year.

This is the folk custom of Wafangdian, and people will choose to go back to their parents' home on the fourth day of the fourth year.

According to traditional customs, on this day, the daughter will "go back to her parents' home" and the husband will pay a New Year call to her parents-in-law. Folk call it "Children's Day", "Wedding Day" and "Going home", also known as "mothering".

Generally, I have to stay at my parents' home for one night on the second day of New Year's Day, and leave after breakfast on the third morning. The couple live in their parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and there are strict sexual taboos in the local area. They are not allowed to share the same bed and have sex.

In this custom, parents usually teach their daughters as something they must know when they get married. In the first year after marriage, when the daughter returns to her parents' home, parents, especially the mother, will quietly tell her daughter to carry it out.
