The second day of Zheng Yue: Married daughters visit childhood homes

In the past, married daughters would visit their parents' houses with their husbands and children on this day. Such a tradition allowed the women of the family to reunite and catch up on each other's lives. In modern times, however, it is more of a continuity of mutual visits between relatives and friends.
