Uncle who died after cutting his hair on the second day of the first lunar month, folks will not choose to have their hair cut during the year
Always There is a saying that my uncle died when I cut my hair on the second day of the first lunar month, so many people are worried whether it is really impossible to cut my hair on the second day of the first lunar month, and what kind of impact it will have on my uncle.It is still hearsay, and there is no such saying at all.So now let’s get to know it in detail.
The origin of the saying that the uncle who cut his head and died in the first month
It is said that a haircut on the second day of the new year will be bad for my uncle, so it has become an unwritten rule not to have a haircut on the second day of the new year."My uncle died with a haircut in the first month", this is a folklore saying that one cannot get a haircut in the first month.In fact, this folk custom is a kind of cultural misrepresentation.The real reason is that the Qing army entered the customs during the Shunzhi period and implemented the barbaric policy of "keeping hair but not head".Later, it was rumored as "dead uncle", which is the orthodox saying of "shaving his head and dying uncle in the first month".Another reason is that in traditional customs, the first month is called an auspicious month, thanking the heavens for the warm spring and flowers blooming on the earth, and folks will not choose to have their hair cut during the year.It is not good for them to use their heads in the new year.
