Shaving one's head is one of the traditional ceremonies in China, and people often shave their heads in Tomb-Sweeping Day. It symbolizes the cleanliness of the cemetery and the commemoration of ancestors, and it is also a way to express filial piety. In some places, there is also the custom of shaving and becoming a monk or Taoist priest. In this process, there are many other activities, such as ancestor worship and praying for God's blessing.

Although shaving your head is one of the traditional customs, modern people seldom shave their heads.
