Can I get a haircut today?

Cut your hair any day, no matter what day.

Although it is customary to say that "if you don't shave your head in the first month, you will lose your uncle", this statement is wrong. One of the folk sayings comes from the "homesickness theory" triggered by the "haircut order" in Qing Dynasty. When the Manchu army entered the customs, in order to consolidate the dominant position of the Qing Dynasty, a "haircut order" was issued, forcing all Han Chinese to shave their heads. This regulation caused strong social dissatisfaction and resistance at that time, and many people said: "I would rather be a ghost than a shave." To show their loyalty to the former dynasty, they wore "nostalgic" hair. However, regime change is a fact. In order to commemorate the old king of the old country, the Han people implicitly expressed it in the first month without cutting their hair, which is called "homesickness". Later, they passed it on and became "dead uncles".
