What is the significance of the custom of shaving one's head only on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar?

It's not really a custom anymore, but something that's become an inked-in rule, but this? Inked rule? is not pejorative.

There's no need to point fingers and criticize those who must keep their hair until the second day of February.

It's a superstition, of course it's a superstition, but it's not right that you have to break it down as a superstition when people have such a good intention.

One, the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar shaved head of the origin.

This story is from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, occupying the center of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Qing Dynasty, because of superstition, must be shaved copper rat-tailed head, but the Han people in order to express their dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty, so they chose not to shave their heads. To be ridiculous, according to wild history there are people who committed suicide because they shaved their hair! Because? The body hair skin, received by the parents? , felt that shaving the head of the parents.

Then the Han Chinese rebelled against shaving their heads, so they had to have a say! It was the first month of the year, so the Han people made up a legend: ? The first month of the shaved head dead uncle? , to filial piety rule of the Qing Dynasty is no law. But the hair still has to be shaved! Choose to stay just, this stay to the beginning of February, had to shave it!

Two, now the old man also threatened February 2 dragon head up, before you can cut hair.

Yes, I think such an old man is right, because he grew up from childhood on the ears of the first month of shaving the head of the dead uncle, the second dragon head shaving in early February, people listen to a lifetime, and now subject to the education and lessons of one of your juniors, people are certainly not happy ah! So ah, although this matter is a superstition, but can not have to let the old man to admit that they are not right, that is not the following offense well!

My uncle is like this, the first month does not shave the head, even if the finger breaks a small mouth, leaving a little blood have to eat fasting for several days, this is of course a superstition, but that is also the old man's a good wish, why do you bother to go to preach it!

Three, uncle because nephew shaved his head in the first month and hurt things.

My family is from the Northeast, is my uncle's uncle, hit my uncle, and did not break, just take a walking stick to hit the head a few times, but look quite painful. This matter in our village have become a laughing stock.

Superstition is not good, but we do not have to the old generation of the only this point of thought offense, we know is superstition on it, we are the future of the motherland, the old man to enjoy the blessings on it.
