What is the traditional festival of mothering?

The traditional Mother's Day is the second day of the first month. In our traditional cultural customs, "going back to my parents' home" is also called "mothering". On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when my daughter returns to her parents' house, she must make a big bag of biscuits and sweets and distribute them to her neighbors by her mother, just like the scene of the New Year. The gift is quite thin, but it reflects deep affection. What is the real "courtesy is light and affection is heavy", which expresses the girl's yearning for the villagers.

The custom of visiting relatives and "going back to the mother's family" also provides an opportunity for married daughters to get together, so that sisters who have not seen each other for a long time can catch up. Young and old are reunited and happy.

On New Year's Day, children and parents-in-law are full of energy, with newly dressed wives and children and generous gifts, to pay New Year greetings to their parents-in-law. As the saying goes, "son-in-law is half a son", son-in-law has "half a son's job", and parents-in-law are very hospitable. I hope the son-in-law will take good care of her daughter at ordinary times.

The origin of mothering is very early, and "returning to parents" has been recorded in the Book of Songs. At this time, the woman's family should also prepare a banquet (usually at noon, calling a mother-in-law banquet or inviting a son-in-law). After the mothering, the matchmaker's work is over, and the man will give the matchmaker a gift to express his gratitude.
