There are always many traditional customs in life. What's the point of cutting hair after the Chinese New Year?

Why can't I get a haircut in the first month?

1, the misinformation of "nostalgia"

2. From a health point of view

In fact, from a health point of view, there is also a saying that no killing is allowed. There is a saying in the theory of "Four Qi Regulating the Spirit" in Huangdi's Internal Classic: Let's shape up, live without killing, give without taking away, and reward without punishment. This is the reaction of spring and the way of keeping in good health. Otherwise, the liver will be damaged, it will get cold in summer, and there will be few elders.

Specifically, in the three months of spring, hair should be allowed to grow freely, not cut off. You should let your hair hang loosely over your shoulders and don't tie it too tightly. If you violate this rule, you will hurt your lungs. But if you don't get a haircut all spring and March, people really can't stand the trouble of long hair, so some smart people start not to get a haircut for the first month.
