On the second day of the first lunar month, the married daughter returns to her natal home with her husband and children to pay New Year's greetings.
When a daughter returns to her natal home, she must bring some pastries and candies, and the mother will distribute them to the neighbors and villagers, just like the New Year's scene. If there are multiple daughters in the family, and these daughters do not return home on the same day, then the gift is quite small, only four dim sums. However, the affection it reflects is very strong. The real thing is "the etiquette is light and the affection is heavy", which expresses the daughter's earnest yearning for her neighbors.
[1] "Return to the Gate on the First Moon of the Bingyin Year" Anonymous
Open the door on the second day of the first lunar month,
?Laughing at wealth from east to west, north to south;
Drunken lion dance in the alleys of the capital,
The fire tiger makes a fuss in the spring to welcome the blessings.
Yu Lu, Youqian, and Qingwan returned to her natal home with the talented four.
What they brought to their natal family was an imported product called "biscuit biscuit", which was a rare item that Jackson specially entrusted friends in his hometown to express it from Daqin in the Western Regions.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that his eldest aunt Yu Xin, his eldest uncle Jie Xunsi and his two cousins ??had already arrived, but he did not see his second aunt Yu Tian.
Qing Wan asked: "It's already noon, why isn't Second Aunt here yet?"
Father Yu Yannian said: "If I don't come now, maybe I won't come."
Yu Xin asked: "Why didn't you come? She has nothing to do at home!"
"My brother-in-law has passed away for many years," Yu Yannian sighed, "Hi! The only one I can rely on is a monk again."
Qingwan said: "Which girl doesn't get married?"
Yu Yannian said: "I mean Xiuran, who became a monk after becoming a monk."
As soon as Xiuran was mentioned, Qing Wan hurriedly pressed down, "Willcousin Cuiyu come back today"
"No!" Yu Xin said, "Son-in-law Sun Li, didn't your uncle get an official? He went to the south to take office a few years ago; her daughter just passed the '100-year-old', so she finally got it." Child, how dare Cui Yu go back?"
"Then I'll pick up my second aunt." After finishing speaking, Qing Wan walked out the door.
It's not that Qingwan is very close to her second aunt. To be honest, she hates her second aunt very much, because if it weren't for the objection of second aunt Yu Tian, ??she and Xiuran would have been married long ago. She went to Yu Tian's house mainly to see her daughter Ai Ai.
As soon as he went out, he happened to meet Ji Xu who came to pay New Year's greetings to You Gan and Yu Lu. Seeing Qing Wan come out, she teased again, "Sister, Happy Chinese New Year, Ye!"
Qing Wan rolled his eyes at him, "Didn't you pay respects yesterday!"
"There is a way, don't you be surprised if there are so many people!"
"You go in quickly! Come out quickly and accompany me to pick up the second aunt."
"Okay!" Ji Xu responded, and hurried into the house.
Qing Wan went to the concierge to call the groom, and the groom went to the stable to drive a car.
Soon, Ji Xu trotted out of the gate of Yu's house. He helped Qingwan into the car, and then he also bowed into the car, before his buttocks sat still, he asked, "Why, Arthur didn't come with you"
"What is he doing here?!"
"Go out of Yuezhang's gate!"
"Where did he come from, Yuezhang's family?"
"Isn't he the prospective son-in-law of your family!"
"Who recognized it?"
"Aren't you going to introduce him to my second sister?"
"Isn't it introduced yet? Besides, I have to listen to him from the side first. What's my father's impression of him?"
"Hey, it was yesterday. I think Arthur did pretty well, and my uncle even exchanged a few words with him!"
"Heh, how can you perform so well! It's not too bad, let's find a beautiful concubine for my old father-in-law first."
"Where did I give" Ji Xu asked, "Who did you listen to?"
"Jackson!"
"His mouth, when will there be a gatekeeper."
"Don't waste your efforts in vain!" Qing Wan said, "Don't forget, my cousin is not your real father-in-law, but a second father-in-law. If you say you, it's not that you gave gifts to the wrong door, worshiped the wrong god 'What!"
"How about I ask Arthur to find one for uncle? Uncle is brother himself, Arthur will never worship the wrong god!"
"Be careful, I'll beat you!" Qing Wan raised her hand and wanted to hit you, but seeing Ji Xu's flattering appearance, the hand she just raised slowly fell again, "Wait, see if my cousin doesn't settle with you! "
"What did she ask me to settle?" Ji Xu said, "The two of them are good friends!"
"There are a lot of women my cousin likes, it's hard??It was only accepted when the parents brought it up, and the punishment was relatively light. The Ming Dynasty imposed a one-hundred-year cane punishment, and the Qing Dynasty imposed an eighty-cane punishment.
(3) Those who do not support their parents wholeheartedly
Supporting parents is the basic requirement of filial piety. If children and grandchildren are able to support their parents but do not support them, or do not do their best to support them, as long as the grandparents or parents file a complaint with the government, the children and grandchildren will be sentenced.
(4) During the mourning period, men and women marry, play the piano and have fun, or take off mourning clothes before the mourning period expires
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, if a man or a woman is married during the mourning period for their parents, or if they change their mourning clothes into auspicious ones, or play the piano for fun, they will be sentenced to three years in prison; Hundreds; pregnancy during the period of mourning, or separation of brothers during the period of mourning, will also be questioned.
(5) Concealing news of the death of grandparents or parents, not going to the funeral or holding a funeral, or lying about the death of grandparents or parents
According to the law, after the death of grandparents and parents, the descendants who do not go to the funeral or hold the funeral will be exiled for two thousand miles; Sentenced to three years in prison.
In addition, if grandparents and parents commit capital crimes and are imprisoned in a cell, while their children and grandchildren or their wives and concubines play the piano for fun, they will be sentenced to one and a half years in prison for the crime of "unfilial piety and unrighteousness".
(6) Beating grandparents or parents to death
The fourth of the "Ten Evils", "evil rebellion", is to beat or murder grandparents and parents. This is the most serious crime of unfilial piety that cannot be pardoned; even those who curse their parents to death are punished as "murder"; Committing the crime of "evil rebellion", all generations will be killed regardless of whether they are injured or not, as long as there is "beating" or "killing"; , to show punishment and warning.
? According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, grandparents and parents who were threatened by their children and grandchildren to death shall be executed according to the crime of beating grandparents or parents. The Qing law more specifically stipulates that if grandparents or parents commit suicide because their offspring offend, the offspring will be executed; Even if the parents did not intentionally seek death, but died unintentionally, as long as the cause is caused by the children and grandchildren, the children and grandchildren still have to bear the same criminal responsibility. This is a typical manifestation of the so-called "parents who are everything under heaven" filial piety in the legal field.
There are two cases like this:
A mother wanted to send her disobedient son, A, to the government. A begged bitterly, but the mother was unmoved; hanging.
In another case, B was very filial to his mother on weekdays. His mother asked others for unjust property. Knowing this, he committed suicide in shame and indignation. Yi was first sentenced to hang for violating the decree, and was later commuted to exile for three thousand miles.
Looking at the laws of the past dynasties, the principle of aggravated punishment is adopted for the punishment of unfilial crimes. When the government tried a case, it would first distinguish between the superior and the inferior, the relatives of the elders and the younger, and then listen to the reasons for right and wrong. The emperor often arbitrarily increased the punishment in the declaration and approval of the crime of unfilial piety.
For example, the brothers of the Li family, the capital officials of the Tang Dynasty, did not return to their hometown for more than 20 years and concealed the news of their mother's death.
(7) The last thing to talk about is the family law and family rules in ancient China
Family laws and family regulations are essentially consistent with the laws of the feudal state. In addition to maintaining the internal order of the family, adjusting family relations, and fulfilling various obligations stipulated by the state, they also use severe punishment to control family members ideologically and morally. "Family service" used to be a creepy sentence in ancient times.
Under the education and restraint of family rules and laws, the family is like a government office, and clan power has completely become the embodiment of feudal kingship. Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, family rules and family law education were more stringent than those of the previous dynasties. In terms of maintaining filial piety, family rules and family law play a role that national law cannot, and the effect achieved is more significant than national law. Especially in the closed remote mountainous area, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the government and laws are beyond reach. enforcer. The most prominent of these is the punishment of unfilial children and grandchildren. If a family has an unfilial son, then the oldest patriarch of the family will open the door of the ancestral hall, punish severely, and even execute the unfilial son who disobeyed his parents.
