Is it really unlucky to not get a haircut in the first month of the month?
Why don’t you cut your hair on the first month of the month
In 1644, when the Qing army entered the customs, the Manchus began to rule over China’s feudal society.In order to strengthen the Manchu regime, the Qing government ordered that all ethnic groups in the country should be forced to shave Manchu hairstyles and wear Manchu costumes.The slogan of the implementation is:"Leave the head without leaving the hair.Leave the hair without leaving the head".This is very unacceptable to the Han people who accept that "the body, hair and skin are subject to parents" and cannot be harmed casually, so the Qing government violently suppressed it.
This struggle ended with a victory for the Qing government, which lasted thirty-seven years.Most of the men of the Han nationality followed the Qing Dynasty regulations of shaving their hair and braiding their hair, and if they were unwilling, they became monks, took their hair to practice, or fled overseas.However, out of nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty, although many people shave their hair, they secretly agreed not to shave their heads during the first month of the month, expressing their "remembering the old" with this behavior.Later, with the passage of time, it became a homophonic "dead uncle" for "thinking about the old", so there is a saying in the folk saying that "the uncle died by shaving his head in the first month".
What day is the most auspicious day for a haircut
According to tradition, the best day for a haircut is on the second day of the second lunar month.Because "the two dragons raised their heads in February, every man shaved their heads".In the old days of Huai’an, there was a saying that "if you have money but no money, shave your head to celebrate the New Year".It has been more than a month since the shaving before the Spring Festival, and it is exactly the time when it is necessary to shave.On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head, which is an auspicious day.As time goes by, the custom of shaving the head on the second day of the second month is formed."On the second day of the second month, the dragon looks up, and every child shaves his hair" is also the reason.For the sake of auspiciousness, the word "dragon" is added to the shaving head, which is called shaving the "dragon" head to distinguish it from shaving at other times, but other than that , the third, sixth, and ninth days of every month (all referring to the lunar calendar) are also good days, suitable for haircuts!
