Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. Traditionally, married daughters would return to their birth families to visit their parents, relatives, and close friends on this day. In the past, married daughters had limited opportunities to visit their birth families.

Nowadays, however, this custom is not widely followed. When visiting their parents, married daughters are expected to be accompanied by their husbands and to present gifts.
