What does it mean not to get a haircut in the first month?

No haircut in the first month means: no haircut in the first month.

The habit of "no haircut in the first month" was actually handed down from the Qing Dynasty. At that time, people were forced to shave their heads and leave braids, but some people swore to resist, so there was a saying that they would not shave their heads in the first month. According to legend, the imperial edict of shaving was issued in January.

The Han people's desperate battle is regarded as nostalgia for the former dynasty, hence the name "nostalgia for the past". Nostalgia is manifested in China people. Over time, the word "nostalgia" evolved into "dead uncle" and later became "dead uncle". Therefore, the tradition of not having a haircut in the first month has been preserved.
