Why do you say "no moving in the twelfth lunar month, no haircut in the first month"?

? This friend's question is a folk taboo. "Don't move in the twelfth lunar month" and "Don't have a haircut in the first month" are just two taboos among the people. Answer in detail below.

First of all, why do you say "the twelfth lunar month does not move"

? "Don't move in the twelfth lunar month" belongs to the taboo of moving. Some places are more severe, not only "the twelfth lunar month does not move", but also in June. This is the so-called "the twelfth lunar month in June does not move". "June" here refers to the lunar calendar (summer calendar) in June.

? As for why you can't move in June and December of the lunar calendar, the general understanding is to make a fortune. People think it's unlucky to move these two months. Because moving is a big event, the ancients will not easily move out of their hometown, so once they want to move, they will always choose a so-called good day. Therefore, the folk gradually formed the saying that "the twelfth month of June does not move". Therefore, those families who move will choose the time to move according to this custom. Needless to say, it must be to avoid these two months.

? However, "Tujili" does not fully explain why we should avoid the June and twelfth lunar months of the lunar calendar, but not other months.

? It is speculated that these two months were regarded as "unlucky" in ancient times and should be related to the climate at that time. June of the lunar calendar is the hottest time in summer, and there are many thunderstorms. If you exercise at this time, you are easily affected by thunderstorms, and the weather is too hot, so you are prone to sweating and heatstroke. Therefore, it makes sense to avoid the hot summer.

? As for "the twelfth lunar month does not move", it is related to the cold. This is the coldest season in winter, and freezing hands and feet is not suitable for heavy physical labor such as moving.

Second, why do you say "no haircut in the first month"? Why not have a haircut in the first month can be answered by another popular saying, that is, "having a haircut in the first month will kill my uncle." It is also the folk saying that "getting a haircut in the first month kills my uncle" that leads to the taboo of "not getting a haircut in the first month".

? Well, here comes another question. Why do you say "My uncle died in the first month of his haircut"? What does hair have to do with uncle?

? There is another allusion to this sentence. It is said that the Qing army practiced a strange hairstyle after entering the customs, that is, shaved the hair from the front to the top of the head, and then shaved all the hairlines around, leaving only a middle piece and a long big braid. This policy carried out by the Qing Dynasty was strongly resisted by the people of the Central Plains. The Qing dynasty issued the order of "leaving the head without leaving the hair, leaving the hair without leaving the head".

? At that time, some literati found a reason not to have their hair cut, so they used the reason of "not shaving their heads in the first month" to express their thoughts on the Ming Dynasty. This is a feeling of nostalgia. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, they said that "my uncle died of a haircut". In other words, "dead uncle" is homophonic with "nostalgia", which actually means to miss the Ming Dynasty.

? Since then, the legend that my uncle died in the first month of haircut has been handed down, and "not having a haircut in the first month" has become a custom.

? Of course, some people now understand that winter is too cold, so they don't cut their hair to protect their heads.

? Since there was no haircut in the first month, when can I get a haircut? Haircuts on the second day of the second lunar month are very popular in the north, and there is another saying that "on the second day of February, the faucet was shaved off". This has also been given a certain meaning, which is the so-called "shaving your head at this time will make you feel refreshed all year round", and it is also called "good luck".

3. What do you think of "not moving in the twelfth lunar month" and "not getting a haircut in the first month"? First of all, we should realize that this is an ancient folk taboo, a product of the underdeveloped era of science in the past, and some of it also contains superstitious elements. Therefore, we don't need to regard it as a "treasure book". In fact, people today no longer believe these statements.

? Secondly, we have to admit that these folk taboos also contain people's good wishes and hope that everything will go well. For example, it is necessary to avoid the hottest and coldest days in order to move smoothly without moving in the twelfth lunar month in June. Another example is that it is cold in winter. In order to protect the head, it is also a good choice to wait until spring to shave. There are also places that pay attention to moving at night, on the grounds that "the more you walk, the brighter you get", and some people say that "money is not exposed". Although these reasons are far-fetched, they have pinned people's good wishes.

? Of course, we must also pay attention to one thing, that is, don't exaggerate the "good or bad days" indefinitely. Life is not "good or bad", it is mainly given by people. No matter what you do, you should decide the time of implementation according to the needs of the matter itself, and don't create obstacles for yourself artificially. For example, in order to meet the needs of urban development, house relocation in many places is carried out in the twelfth lunar month.
