Bedside mother-in-law, Fujian people call it "bed mother" (bed mother), Guangdong people call it bedside woman; Chaoshan people are called "in-laws"; It is a folk belief of the Han nationality, which is rare in big cities now, and only a few places still retain this traditional custom of the Han nationality.

In the past, people worshipped this woman by the bed, because in the past, when their children were sick or crying, they all went to God to worship Buddha and seldom went to see a doctor. The worship of bedside women has naturally become one of the folk beliefs to protect children's healthy growth.
