Ancient children had to shave their heads and fetal hair at the full moon, so what did they do?

Generally speaking, birth customs include birthday celebration, good news, three dynasties porridge and rice, full moon, a hundred-day trip and so on. The specific situation varies from place to place.

The first part talked about "sending porridge to send rice", and then let's take a look at how ancient Shandong gave babies a full moon.

The full moon, as the name implies, is one month after the baby is born. People usually have a "full moon" on this day, and some people call it "full moon".

Congratulations on the safety of mother and son, calling it "the joy under the moon".

This day is extraordinary. The host family must entertain guests extensively, and relatives and friends should prepare gifts, mostly steamed bread, snacks and clothes.

Many areas will give babies their first haircut at the full moon, commonly known as "turning their heads" or "shaving their heads", and there will be certain ceremonies:

"The full moon tonsure ceremony is quite grand in the old customs. Mainly the gifts from grandma's house and the layout of the auditorium. Please ask Quanfu to hold the baby in the middle, and the barber will shave off the fetal hair. Most fetal hair is collected or hung on the bedside with silk. After shaving, the baby puts on new clothes, relatives and friends give gifts for dinner, and the barber also provides all the offerings on the table. "

Of course, the full moon is also important for pregnant women. Finally, I can bid farewell to the "confinement" time full of taboos and enter a normal life.

Let's take a look at the description of The Awakening Marriage Biography.

The second1describes the full moon:

"In a blink of an eye, over the years, I have been busy with my children's full moon and have no theory about the Lantern Festival. 16, chunying got up to freshen up and walked out of the darkroom.

Mrs. Huang also cleaned up early, burned paper in heaven and earth, and offered sacrifices in her temple. Spring warbler kowtowed behind her. Just now, all people, big or small, said hello to Mrs. Huang.

Chunying knocked on her head with Mrs. Huang for the first time. Everyone in Mrs. Huang's family is called Chunying Shen Yi. Because she is Shen Cai's daughter, she named the child Little Monk.

After breakfast, Cocoa's 16 is a good day. Shagong, Bajuan, Tang Ming, the Twelve Zodiacs, Tiangui and Fengnian are all on this day. It was a day of shaving, which was as warm as a mystery, so we called a regular barber and a young monk to shave the baby together.

First, I received 500 copper coins, the first handkerchief and a large flower towel. After shaving, I am responsible for his meals and drinks. Gradually, the wives of those clans, as well as the wives of relatives, sent a full moon to Li Lai and the young monk. "

As soon as the full moon comes out, the parturient can end the confinement life, and the spring warbler can finally walk out of the darkroom. As Chunying is the concubine of Master Huang's family, her status is low and her family doesn't attach importance to her. Therefore, Chunying didn't "move the full moon" and her mother's brother didn't shave his head.

Shandong is the hometown of Confucius. Influenced by the Confucian family system, they also pay more attention to family customs, such as New Year's Day, the anniversary of ancestors' death, birthdays or family festivals, and carry out simple sacrificial activities at home or in ancestral temples.

Among them, "temple fairs are held in temples at home" and "family celebrations usually include birthday ceremonies of family members, and coronation ceremonies are adult ceremonies, weddings, birthday ceremonies and so on. Besides, anything that can add happiness to the family can be used as a family celebration. "

Liang's birth was not an ordinary happiness, but more importantly, it prevented the Huang family's property from being divided up by Huang, Huang and others, so that the Huang family would not lose everything. Therefore, this new joy is enough to be regarded as a celebration of the Huang family and should be sacrificed in the temple at home.
