There is also a strange custom in Macheng, that is, daughters and son-in-law must sleep in separate rooms when they go back to visit relatives. This custom has a long history, and no one can tell when it started. I heard that this custom also exists in some places in Sichuan. Probably the cultural heritage that Macheng brought with him when he immigrated! It is said that the daughter and son-in-law share the same room with their families, which is not good for their families and brings bad luck to their families! Of course, there are many superstitious elements in this statement, but I think sleeping in separate rooms at my parents' house actually represents a kind of respect and awe for my parents, and it is also a way for the younger generation to be filial! Unscientific.
The custom that the daughter and son-in-law go back to their parents' home to sleep in separate rooms was observed silently by everyone before, and there was no objection; However, in recent years, with the opening of people's minds and the decline of traditional culture, some people have raised objections to this, thinking that this custom is completely unreasonable and contrary to human relations. Some parents even stop asking their daughters to turn a blind eye!
In fact, this can also be said to be an exchange and collision between traditional culture and western culture in the new era. From this point of view, it seems that traditional culture has been at a disadvantage and is suspected of losing power. I wonder what you think of this custom. Welcome everyone to express their views and reasons in the comments and have a positive discussion and exchange!
