Time always flows by us like a stream. In a blink of an eye, the fifth month of the lunar calendar is about to arrive. What are the customs and traditions regarding the fifth month of the lunar calendar? Can’t cut hair in the fifth month of the lunar calendar? Come to Mr. Shui Mo's website and have a look.Can I cut my hair in May?According to folk customs, you are not allowed to cut your hair in May. Why? Because "shaving your head on the 59th day of the lunar month will kill your uncle." According to legend, there is a custom in Qilin, Tangshan and Qixia areas in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing - children should not have their heads cut in May of the lunar calendar. Why not shave? Because there is a legend here that "If you don't shave your head in May, your uncle will die." However, many people do not follow this custom now. Generally speaking, newborn babies are not shaved because the fontanelle on the top of their heads has not yet completely closed, which is where the Baihui acupoint is located and is easily invaded by external pathogens.What are the requirements for haircut?According to Chinese customs, the day for haircuts is very particular. It has to be on February 2, the day when the dragon raises its head. This is the best day to cut hair! Therefore, many people get their heads shaved on February 2nd. It is believed to be auspicious because of its "shaving the dragon's head" and also means that one should get good luck by getting his head shaved. According to the book on choosing auspicious days, "Yuxiang Ji", there are many taboos when shaving a baby's head! Among them, the third day is joyful, the fourth day is rich and noble, the fifth day is good to eat, the seventh day is extremely auspicious, the eighth day is long-lived, the ninth day is auspicious, the tenth day is official, the eleventh day is smart, the thirteenth day is extremely auspicious, the fourteenth day is wealthy, the fifteenth day is extremely auspicious, the sixteenth day is profitable, the nineteenth day is auspicious and festive, the twenty-second day is auspicious, the twenty-third day is extremely auspicious, the twenty-fifth day is wealth, the twenty-sixth day is auspicious, and the twenty-ninth day is auspicious.What festivals are there in this month?The most important festival in the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year. It is a traditional cultural festival popular in China and other countries in the Chinese character cultural circle. The Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. It was originally a festival for getting rid of diseases and preventing epidemics. So what are the customs of this festival? Before the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a custom in the Wu and Yue regions to hold tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, because the poet Qu Yuan committed suicide by hugging a stone and jumping into the Miluo River, this festival became a traditional festival for the Chinese to commemorate Qu Yuan. Nowadays, there is a custom of eating rice dumplings and dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival. |
