Can I get a haircut on the day of the Dragon Raising its Head in February? Are there any taboos or rules?
Presumably, the custom of "getting a haircut in the first month of the lunar calendar will cause your uncle to die" has caused many people to not get a haircut for a month. So after getting through the first month of the lunar calendar and entering the second month, can you get a haircut on the day when the dragon raises its head? The beautiful spring has arrived, flowers are blooming, birds are singing, all things are beginning to wake up, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere. The Fortune Teller website takes you to experience the second month of the lunar calendar in 2018!Can I get a haircut on the day of the Dragon Raising its Head?There is a folk saying that goes "Shave the dragon's head on the second day of the second month, and you will have a good spirit all year round." Getting a haircut on this day is called "shaving the dragon's head" or "shaving the happy head". The elders hope to take advantage of this auspicious time when the dragon raises its head to bless their children to grow up healthily and become successful when they grow up; adults get a haircut to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, hoping to bring good luck. In addition, the reason for shaving one's head on February 2nd is because there is a popular belief that "if you don't shave your head in the first month of the lunar calendar, your uncle will die." But it would be very uncomfortable not to have a haircut for a month, so everyone gets a haircut in early February after the first month of the lunar year. Moreover, they were not allowed to have their hair cut because their heads were too heavy to lift, and they could not “raise their heads like the dragon”. The ban was not lifted until the second day of the second lunar month. However, this saying is actually a rumor. The "dead uncle" in it is actually a homonym of "missing the past", which expresses people's nostalgia for the past year.What are the taboos and sayings about the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2?1.
