Why can't I shave my head in the first month?

This is because in most places in China, there is a custom of "not shaving your head in the first month, but shaving your head to death" and "shaving your head in the first month harms your uncle".

In ancient China, people attached great importance to hair, and people had the habit of cutting hair at a certain time. For example, the Book of Rites records that "at the end of March, a haircut was given on a certain day, and men and women were in harmony", indicating that at least as early as the Han Dynasty, our people had certain requirements for shaving time.

Ancient books, such as Huangdi Neijing, all record that it is not suitable to do something in a certain month, and there are countless such "taboos" among Chinese people. For example, "Eight Notes on Respect for Life" even stipulates when a husband and wife can't share the same room, or even "blame". It can be seen that "cutting hair will hinder an uncle" is a common superstition in ancient times.

Extended data:

Although it has been 2 1 century, there are still many people who are superstitious, and there are also many places where there is a saying that "you don't shave your head in the first month, but you will die in the first month." In fact, my nephew's first month's haircut won't kill my uncle. A person's life and death are not determined by other people's hairstyles.

The correct attitude towards traditional culture should still be "taking its essence and discarding its dross", combining the universal value of Chinese culture with the spirit of the times, and properly handling the relationship between inheritance and innovation. Folk customs such as uncle's death in the first month need not be too deliberate. As young people, don't deliberately oppose such folk customs, so as not to cause unhappiness to the elders.
