Can I go back to my mother's house on the fourteenth day of the first month?

People call the 14th day of the first month the birthday of the "Waterfront Goddess" (also known as "Mrs. Shuntian"). Legend has it that Queen Linshui, surnamed Chen, was born in the Tang Dynasty, and later became an immortal to save dystocia women.

Therefore, folk temples are called "goddess near water" and "Mother of Shuntian". In fact, it is a patron saint created by women in an era of no status and underdeveloped science, and it is also a way for them to motivate themselves because they are afraid of dystocia.

On the fourteenth night of the first lunar month, every household in Ninghai city and countryside eats wheat flow for dinner on this day. Wheat flow is called "wheat flow" by boiling vegetable leaves, dried shredded incense, shrimp skin, sweet potato powder and shredded pork together, and then putting down wheat flour and stirring it into a thin paste.

There are no special customs and taboos on the fourteenth day of the first month. You can pay more attention to the relevant precautions in the first month, such as avoiding breaking utensils, not teaching children, and trying not to go to the homes of people who have just passed away to pay New Year greetings.

In addition, the newly-married daughter can't go back to her mother's house on this day, because it is said that she can't see the bride's lamp. And from the perspective of the old calendar, it is not suitable for moving and decorating on that day. If there is a housewarming plan, it can be postponed for a few days. There are also taboos in getting married, so we should choose another auspicious day to hold the wedding.
