The bride's return to her family, also called "mothering", refers to the custom that the married daughter returns to her family for the first time after marriage. Generally speaking, she returned to China after three days of marriage. Of course, there are also some areas that return to China the next day after marriage, which will be slightly different according to different regions.

1. Why does the bride want to get married and return to China?

Huimen, also known as mothering, generally refers to the woman's first visit to her family after marriage, and some people say that the practice of returning to her family on the second or third day after marriage is called Huimen. Huimen is an important traditional marriage custom in China.

1, formal farewell

After going home for three days, the daughter and son-in-law should buy presents for their parents, and the parents should prepare rich food for their daughter and son-in-law. There are thanks to parents and good wishes from parents to their daughters. Most importantly, it means that the daughter is already a guest. From then on, the bride's family is the bride's family, no longer the "home" where her daughter goes in and out every day. Her daughter should be in charge of her own home and live a good life.

2 Thanksgiving parents.

The feeling of marrying a daughter can only be truly understood by those who have tasted it personally. If there is no hope of "returning home in three days", the daughter's parents will be too pitiful. "Going home in three days" is not only a comfort to the woman's parents, but also an opportunity for her daughter to express her parents' gratitude to her parents.

Step 3 thank relatives and friends

On the day of returning home, the daughter and son-in-law should not only thank their parents for preparing gifts, but also propose a toast to their relatives and friends. On the one hand, they should thank you for your blessing and help, on the other hand, they should formally "recognize their relatives". From then on, the son-in-law of "uncle" and "brother-in-law" became one with her family.

4. Young couples' rest days

Ancient people got married in their teens and didn't know much about many things. The adults couldn't say clearly, so they came up with this way to let the two children have a rest. It is normal for sisters-in-law to inquire about their daughter's past marriage and teach her some boudoir experience when they return to their parents' home.
