What are the customs and taboos on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month?The 27th day of the twelfth lunar month is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, the eve of Chinese New Year. There is a folk saying that goes, "The 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, kill chickens and go to the big market." On this day, every household not only slaughters their own poultry, but also goes to the market and shops to make centralized purchases. Compared with the market on ordinary days where the main purpose is to buy what is in short supply and sell what is in surplus, the market on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month is mainly for buying and selling New Year items, such as firecrackers, spring couplets, sacred horses, incense and candles, burning paper, beef and mutton, various toys and gifts for children, various head ornaments for girls, etc. On this day, markets everywhere are very busy and lively.In the traditional Han customs, people take baths and wash clothes on these two days to get rid of the bad luck of the year and prepare for the New Year. There is a saying in Beijing that "wash away illness on the 27th and wash away dirt on the 28th." Bathing on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month is to "wash away blessings and fortune." You can't shave your head. According to folklore, you can't shave your head in the first month of the lunar calendar as it will kill your uncle. Therefore, people usually shave their heads and have their hair cut before the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. As the saying goes, "On the 27th, shave carefully; on the 28th, shave foolishly." The saying that shaving your head in the first month of the lunar calendar will cause your uncle to die originated in the Qing Dynasty. After the Manchus entered the Central Plains, they forced the Han people to shave their heads and keep their braids. If they disobeyed, they would be killed without mercy. They claimed that "you can either keep your head or your hair, or you can keep your hair or your head." Therefore, every time the Han people shaved their heads, it would evoke their "nostalgia" for the Ming Dynasty. Over time, "nostalgia" was misinterpreted as "nostalgia for uncle," and this gave rise to the strange saying that "shaving your head in the first month of the lunar calendar will cause your uncle to die." |
