No.3 Visit to in-laws 拜丈人

One of the main customs during Rain Water is husbands visiting their in-laws and giving gifts. According to the tradition, gifts are usually two cane chairs winded with four meters of red belt, which symbolizes good health and longevity. Another typical gift is a pot of cooked dish that contains pig’s knuckles stewed with soya and kelp, by which the son-in-law expresses his respect and gratitude.

雨水节气的一大风俗就是女婿拜丈人，送礼物，送节的礼品则通常是两把藤椅，上面缠着一丈二尺长的红带，这称为“接寿”，意思是祝岳父岳母长命百岁。还有一种典型的礼品被称作“罐罐肉”，即用砂锅炖了猪脚、雪山大豆、海带，以对他们的养育之恩表示感谢和敬意。
