Can you not wash your hair and drink alcohol on the Double Ninth Festival?

You don't have to wash your hair on the Double Ninth Festival, but you can drink alcohol.

September 9th Double Ninth Festival taboo?

1, you can't say happy holidays. Nine is considered as the number of yang, and the meeting of two yang is called Chongyang. Nine is also the largest number in the number, so this day is also a big day. According to China's traditional mode of thinking, a series of festivals were set up to suppress evil spirits. Therefore, on this day when evil spirits should be exorcised, it seems inappropriate to say happy holidays, but it is more appropriate to say good health or family safety. ?

2, avoid the daughter who has been married for less than three years to return to her family. There is a folk saying: "Go back to your hometown, Chongyang, dead mother-in-law." For example, tengxian, who has been married for three years, can't go back to her family this day, but can go back three years later. Of course, this is only a local custom, and there are generally no taboos in other parts of China. Just go back to your parents' house.
