Can I go back to my parents' house on February 2 nd? The second day of the second lunar month. There is a very popular nursery rhyme "Big Saw" in my hometown, which is about the custom of picking up my aunt.

The lyrics are: "Pull the saw, pull the saw, and sing a big play at the door of the old man." Pick up the girl, call the son-in-law, and the little nephew. How can I get there without flower shoes? Go home with a bang! "

It is an old ceremony for us Manchu people to see menstruation, and there are many rules. Manchu people in their hometown take the Eight Banners immigrants in Beijing as the cultural mainstream, and the day to pick up menstruation is February 2, the so-called "February 2, pick up the baby."

Why did you pick up menstruation on the day when the dragon looked up? It is said that according to the old ceremony, in the first month, menstruation is not allowed to see her mother's lamp or live in her mother's house. Even if you go to your mother's house on the second day of the first month, you should leave your mother's house before lighting the lamp, especially your newly-married aunt. February 2nd is the first double day of the first month, so it is designated as the day to see menstruation.

On the second day of February, the bride's family will send a glib speaker to pick up her aunt. Aunt swaggered back with a red bag, dressed in green clothes and took her children home. Of course there are exceptions. If something happens to her mother-in-law, it is inevitable that the receiver will be depressed and her mother-in-law will cry. As the nursery rhyme goes: "February 2, pick up the baby;" I can't pick it up, I am crying. "

The Manchu people in Liaoning and Jilin are more flexible, and the days of receiving menstruation are generally on the 16th, 18th and 20th of the first month, as long as they avoid the Lantern Festival.

When picking up menstruation, there was no propaganda of "Old people singing big plays at the door" in nursery rhymes, but it must be formal. When you bring gifts to your in-laws' home, you should explain your intention to your respected elders (usually your grandmother or mother-in-law) and politely ask your aunt for leave. If allowed, ask for a few more days. The number of days stipulated by the husband's family is also a double day, which shows the auspiciousness of double days. After the "approval", the impatient aunt can dress up. Whoever picks up his aunt also picks up his grandson, and must be humble to his aunt's elder sister-in-law. In fact, they are absolutely unpopular, because they are good at gossiping, and they are afraid to choose gifts when they give way. If you meet a young advocate who wants to go with you, your mother-in-law will stand up and refuse. Before leaving, the person who picks up the aunt should say hello to the elders of her husband's family and say hello to her elder sister-in-law.

My aunt, no matter how high or low she is, always gives special treatment at her mother's house, and always tries to supply whatever she likes. Friends and relatives get together and laugh wildly. Manchu custom, how humble my aunt is in her son-in-law's house, and look at people everywhere. As long as she goes back to her family, she is worth ten times and stays at home for a few days. It's normal to criticize parents, brothers and sisters, and occupy the toilet. When the "holiday" is full, the family prepares some gifts and sends the aunt back to her husband's family.

An activity similar to picking up menstruation is going back to her parents' home. Going back to parents' home is the custom of Han nationality. It's nothing special. Generally, it is chosen on the second day of the first month. Stay for a few days, the decision is up to the daughter-in-law and at home. The son-in-law wants to accompany him, and he is a high official and generous. He is naturally welcome when he goes. When you are poor, you will inevitably look at some faces and lose face. If you have granny Liu's mood in a dream of red mansions, you can have the cheek to please the food and bring some scattered money back.

This "reply" and "connection" are very different in nature. Therefore, the poor old son-in-law of the Han nationality should never listen to the temptation of his wife. She wants to go back to her parents' house without accompanying her. The son-in-law of Manchu said that she had come to pick up her aunt, so let your wife stay for a few days if you like. A beautiful day is in charge!
