also have to start from the "first month do not cut hair" custom story, this statement is actually a typical misrepresentation, and can even be said to be the oral transmission of the wrong tone. The custom of not cutting hair in the first month, originating from the Qing army to enter the customs, it is said that the Qing rulers in order to "eliminate the leveling around, stay in the Central Plains", then the implementation of a strange hair: hair from the front to the top of the head of the part of the shaved, and then shaved all around the intervals of the hair, only to leave the concentration of a piece of hair, these hair will be twisted into a long braid, is the typical hair style of the Qing Dynasty. This is the typical hair style of the Qing Dynasty.

Later, this hairstyle was spread among the Han Chinese, and the people who implemented it were the shavers of the time. The Qing government also called all the shaved heads in the country together, issued to each person hanging with an imperial decree of the "hanging cast flagpole", these shaved heads are proud to walk the streets, very easy to take the people's hair one by one.

The Han people have experienced countless dynastic changes, who became the emperor and did not attract attention, but this hair change, but angered some people. The Qing dynasty also played a slogan, this slogan is "stay head not hair, stay hair not head". Unexpectedly, this strong hair revolution was opposed by the people of Jiangnan, some people think that shaving off their hair is a great insult to their personality, they rose up in revolt, hoping that through the power of resistance to make the Manchus convergence.

However, the Qing emperor naturally did not soften down, randomly found a child, there was a "Yangzhou ten days" and "Jiading three massacres" and other tragedies. In really no way, people had to stop shouting "head can be broken hair can not be shaved" slogan, but to "the first month does not shave the head" to express the thoughts of the Ming dynasty, meaning "thinking of the old! "

Originally, this is the first time that a person has been in the country for a long time, but it is not the first time that a person has been in the country for a long time.

The original "thinking of the old" was slowly misrepresented as "dead uncle". So, later in the first month, no one dared to shave their heads again.

In addition, the first month of the custom of not cutting hair, but also originated in an interesting statement, the legend says that in ancient times there was a time when the poor shaver, he loved his uncle, but the New Year's Eve but did not have the money to buy a decent gift for his uncle, which can worry about the shaver. Give uncle to pay homage to the 'day arrived, the shaver had a bright idea, then picked up the shaving pick rushed to the uncle's home, carefully shaved for the uncle shaving, and so uncle appeared in the banquet, friends and relatives all praise shaving nephew's craftsmanship, have to say that the uncle is many years younger, the uncle is also very happy to nephew state, so that he later every year on the first day of the month to give their own shaved head.

After the death of the uncle, the shaver to the first month of the shaving pick tears, he can no longer be to his uncle filial piety and heartbroken. Later, the "thinking of uncle" here was rumored to be "dead uncle".

In essence, whether it is "thinking of the old", "thinking of the uncle", or "dead uncle", these sayings are just folklore. From the human body health in this sense, "life and do not kill" this statement or have a root to rely on. In the "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine", "the four air conditioning God's theory" in the "spring March" in this paragraph: "was hair slow form to make Zhisheng, birth and do not kill, give and do not take, reward and do not penalize, this spring should be, the way of life also! ; against the liver injury, summer for the real cold change, Feng long less."

"Huangdi Neijing" in this statement, specific to the haircut, that is, in these three months of spring, the human body should let the hair grow freely, not to mention that it should not be cut; should be allowed to let the hair loosely draped over the shoulders, and should not be tied too tightly. If people violate this rule, they hurt their lungs. However, if the whole spring and March are not cut hair, people can not stand the long hair trouble, so there is a clever people thought of a way, called "the first month of not cut hair".

In this way, the first month of the reason for not cutting the hair of the natural people let people mousse open, people also had to the Spring Festival will be well groomed hair trimmed, before the New Year's hair, has become a must-do thing for everyone. From a practical point of view, people repair their hair before the Spring Festival, there are many benefits: the advent of the New Year, dress yourself up in a new image, not only to raise the spirit, but also very memorable; furthermore, the New Year's Eve, to see friends and relatives of the occasion more up, purposely will be their own hair a little bit, but also to let other people's eyes brighten up. More importantly, folklore, "the first month does not cut hair," the saying, before a haircut, but also do not let the first month of the hair grow too much "crazy". Over time, whether it is before the haircut, or the first month of not haircut, such a custom, indeed, is a reflection of the wisdom of the ancestors.
