You can't go back to your mother's house to eat jiaozi on the winter solstice.

In northern China, there is a custom of "returning to one's mother's home" on the winter solstice. In the process of eating jiaozi, we should avoid going back to our parents' home. Because jiaozi is an important holiday food, we usually wrap jiaozi at home to celebrate the holiday. If you go back to your mother's house while eating jiaozi, it will be considered unlucky.

We should avoid going back to our parents' home at this time, so as not to bring unnecessary troubles to ourselves and our families. People usually pack jiaozi at home to celebrate the festival. In the process of hiring jiaozi, we should avoid borrowing fire. Because borrowing fire will be regarded as unlucky behavior and will bring misfortune to yourself and your family. We should prepare our own fire source, and don't use other people's fire to wrap jiaozi.
