Why not shave your head in the first month?

In the traditional culture of China, it is a custom not to shave your head in the first month.

In the traditional culture of China, hair symbolizes human's qi, blood and destiny. In ancient China, people thought that hair was closely related to life, so many people attached great importance to the care and maintenance of hair.

In the first month, people usually carry out activities such as offering sacrifices to their ancestors and welcoming the god of wealth. They all need to respect God, protect their ancestors and bless their families. People think that cutting hair at this time will bring bad luck, ruin money or affect the family's fortune.

Therefore, in the traditional culture of China, not shaving during the first month is regarded as the way to ward off evil spirits, so as to protect the peace and happiness of families and individuals.

Although fewer and fewer people in modern society will fully abide by this tradition, in some places and families, this habit will still persist as a continuation of family culture and tradition.
