What is the saying of cutting hair on the fifteenth day of the first month?

1, there is a folk saying that "my uncle died in the first month", saying that haircuts are not allowed in the first month. But in the eyes of historians, this kind of folk taboo is a misinformation of folk culture and has no scientific basis at all. In the first year of Shunzhi, the Qing army entered the customs, forcing the Han people to shave their hair and keep their braids. When the Han people met, they showed that they did not forget their hometown, so they "homesick". Later, "fourth uncle" was misrepresented as "dead uncle", and there was a saying that "my uncle died in the first month".

According to the traditional custom, the first month belongs to the biggest month in a year, and it is called Yue Ji. In order to thank God for the Spring Festival, most people don't choose to have their hair cut before the 15th day of the first month, because it's still the Spring Festival, and it's not good for them to move their heads during the Spring Festival.

As the so-called "parents with physical problems", there is also a saying among the people that the haircut depends on the date. In the Gregorian calendar, a haircut means shaving the fetal head of a newborn baby or cutting hair to become a monk. Now there are people of the older generation who will have their hair cut according to the Gregorian calendar date. Therefore, many people will look forward to the auspicious day of the zodiac in advance before getting a haircut. As long as there is an auspicious day before the fifteenth day of the first month, you can still get a haircut.

The weather is still very cold in the first month. Choosing to get a haircut in the first month is very bad for people's health. The meridians of the human body are connected with the head of Dachuan, and the head is frozen and prone to illness. Therefore, people are used to starting haircuts in spring.
