Is there a saying that you can’t get a haircut on the beginning of spring?
Introduction: The Beginning of Spring is a major festival in China, with many customs and etiquette. It is said that you cannot have a haircut on this day. Is it true? The weather is covered in snow, but the cold climate cannot chill people's hearts. There will be many reunion festivals in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. What should we pay attention to in this reunion month? The fortune teller website will help you understand the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. Yes, some can, some can't, it just depends on local customs.
This is because there is a custom among the people in various parts of my country that one cannot have a haircut from the beginning of spring until the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar when the dragon raises its head. It is said that breaking this taboo will bring disaster to one's uncle.
The hairstyle of us Han people has been to tie our hair up since ancient times. Generally speaking, men are not allowed to cut their hair after they are 12 years old (the hair on our body is given by our parents, and we dare not damage it, which is the beginning of filial piety). That is why Cao Cao cut off his hair instead of his head to enforce military discipline, and why Xiahou Jun swallowed his eyes and shouted, "My father's sperm and my mother's blood cannot be discarded."
The popularity of hair cutting, or shaving, began in the Qing Dynasty. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Manchus, as a foreign nomadic people, used all sorts of means, including "coercion, inducement and killing", to strengthen their ruling position. One of them was the "policy of shaving the hair and changing clothes" which enslaved the Han people and eliminated Han intellectuals with national integrity. The saying "Keep your head but not your hair, keep your hair but not your head" implies that only by being loyal to the Qing Dynasty and submitting to Manchu rule can you survive.
Most of the people who observed the solar terms were slaughtered, and the remaining survivors, someone unknown, suddenly thought of a way to commemorate the memory of their distant ancestors: after the beginning of spring, people are not allowed to shave their heads, in commemoration of the old customs.
This is called "thinking of the past", perhaps because they were afraid that future generations would not follow it, or it was misunderstood, "thinking of the past" gradually evolved into "dead uncle", which is why people are not allowed to shave their heads after the beginning of spring.
