Can I wash my hair on the first day of every month?

You can't.

In fact, this custom originated from our ancestors and was handed down from China's traditional feudal superstition. This custom comes from Buddhism, because Buddhism stipulates that Buddhists should fast, recite scriptures and worship Buddha on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is actually equivalent to Sunday in the west. People must pack up before the first and fifteenth day of junior high school. On the first day and fifteenth day, I will go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha and pray for peace.

In the old days, women should also choose auspicious days when washing their hair: know life in the first day, Emperor Ji in the second day, wealth in the third day, escape from danger in the fourth day, hair loss in the fifth day, hair loss in the sixth day, long life in the seventh day, marriage in the ninth day, promotion in the tenth day, bright hair in the eleventh day, danger in the twelfth day, luck in the thirteenth day, luck in the fourteenth day, happiness in the fifteenth day, fierceness in the sixteenth day, and black as a craftsman in the seventeenth.

The custom of the first day.

1, open the door and set off firecrackers

When the door is opened in the morning of the Spring Festival, firecrackers are set off first, which is called "opening the door to set off firecrackers". After the firecrackers, the ground is broken red, which is the so-called "full house". At this time, the streets are full of anger and joy.

Step 2 gather wealth

It is said that the first day of the first month is the birthday of a broom, so you can't use a broom on this day, otherwise it will ruin your fortune, attract a "broom star" and cause bad luck. If you must sweep the floor, you must sweep it from the outside to the inside.

Don't throw water on the garbage on this day, for fear of breaking the money. Today, this custom still remains in many places. Don't put a broom or take out the garbage on New Year's Eve. Prepare a big barrel of waste water to avoid splashing outside that day.
