On February 2 nd, the dragon looked up and cut his hair! What did you say? How did it happen?

The second day of the second lunar month is the traditional Spring Dragon Festival. It is said that dragons rise on the second day of the second lunar month, and there has always been a custom of "getting rid of the old with a haircut". It is said that a haircut on this day can bring good luck for a year. Because there is a saying in a popular letter that "if you don't shave your head in the first month, you will die", many people will stop going to the barber shop for one month after having their hair cut in the twelfth month, and the ban will not be lifted until February 2. However, this folk taboo has gradually faded in recent years.

Statement 2

The expression "February 2" is very popular in most parts of the country. On this day, there has been a saying among the people that "getting rid of the old with a haircut". Giving a child a haircut is called "shaving". When the dragon looks up, it will bless the child to grow up healthily and get ahead when he grows up. Adults get a haircut, called "shaving the tap", to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, hoping to bring good luck. There is a folk proverb that can prove this point: "On February 2, the dragon looks up and the children must shave their heads."

3. Statement 3

It has been more than 300 years since the Qing army entered the customs in 1644. The government requires all men to keep the head of the sand pot, with no hair around it and a lock in the middle.

Han people are not like this. Before the Ming Dynasty, children under the age of 18 could have their hair cut. Generally, when they have a haircut, they shave their heads and nothing grows. When they are over 18 years old and wear hats, they will never be able to cut their hair, and they will never be able to cut their hair until they die because they are skinned and influenced by their parents.

Therefore, Han men should keep all their hair on their heads, and their hair is also braided and coiled. Therefore, Han men don't get a haircut, but after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they were forced to get a haircut, so people made an agreement that no one would get a haircut in the first month, and their uncle would die in the first month. In fact, it is "thinking about the old", so it is called "shaving your head in the first month and thinking about the old". Later, people called him "dead uncle".

Statement 4

As the saying goes, "the dragon doesn't look up, it doesn't rain." The dragon is auspicious, and it is also the master of weathering rain. On the second day of the second lunar month, people pray for dragons to raise their heads and rain to moisten everything. This is the famous "February Shaving the Dragon's Head". It is generally believed that shaving one's head on this day will bring good luck and luck. Therefore, the folk proverb says, "Shaving your head on February 2nd will refresh you all year round".
