What is a daughter's banquet?

A daughter's banquet is a daughter's return banquet.

This custom originated in ancient times and is generally called "mothering in the province", which means going home to visit parents after marriage. It is a marriage custom of the Han nationality. That is, on the third, sixth, seventh, ninth, tenth or full moon after marriage, the son-in-law goes back to her mother's house with the bride to pay New Year greetings to her parents and relatives. This is the last ceremony of the wedding. Daughters will never forget the kindness of their parents. The son-in-law thanked her parents-in-law and newlyweds for their love and beauty. Generally, the woman hosts a banquet, and the new son-in-law is seated, accompanied by the female elders. In-laws held a banquet for their newly married husband, which was a back door banquet.

The origin of huimen banquet

There was a custom of Huimen in the Spring and Autumn Period, which has been inherited by later generations. Because the "double door" is the double door of the newlyweds, it is called "double door", which means auspicious in pairs. The bride's old man attaches great importance to going home for three days, so the groom should make preparations in advance, leaving a happy and beautiful impression on his parents-in-law both ideologically and as a gift.
