How did "My uncle died in the first month" come out? Thank god, help me.

My uncle died in the first month, which is a misinformation. Not having a haircut means "thinking about the past and thinking about the future", which is a custom that has been passed down since the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. At that time, the Qing dynasty ordered all citizens to have their hair cut. Some people don't have their hair cut in the first month to show their nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty. However, it was impossible to openly confront the Qing government, so there was a saying that "my uncle died in the first month", which has been passed down to this day.

1, a busy year

The 23rd or 24th day of the end of the year is called "off-year" among the people, and people have been busy since childhood. Off-year doesn't mean a certain day. Due to local customs, the days called off-year are different. During the off-year period, the main folk activities include sweeping dust and offering sacrifices to stoves. Before the Qing Dynasty, the traditional festival of offering sacrifices to stoves in the off-year was the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. Since the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the emperor's family held a ceremony to worship heaven on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. In order to "save money", they also worship the kitchen god, so the folks in the northern region have followed suit, mostly on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In most parts of the south, the old tradition of celebrating the Lunar New Year on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month is still maintained.

2. Sacrifice to the Kitchen God

On the 23rd or 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the kitchen stove should be cleaned after dark, and the old kitchen stove should be taken down and burned. On the morning of New Year's Eve, new pictures are posted, as well as wine, meat, candy, sugar cane, rice fruit and so on. Placed, incense burned, candles lit, paper cannons set off. The folk activities of offering sacrifices to the kitchen god can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, but at the beginning, the day of offering sacrifices to the kitchen god was not in the early years.
