What do you mean it's hot when you shave your head?

"Shaving one's head and carrying a load" is a metaphor for one thing. Only one party is willing, wishful thinking, and the other party disagrees. For example, in love, one party is in love and the other is cold, which means "shaving one's head and carrying a load".

Another metaphor of "shaving one's head and carrying a load" is that when doing something, one person is enthusiastic, while the other person is indifferent and puts on a cold face.

In modern Beijing, all hairdressers carry a shoulder pole, a bench, some shaving tools and a brazier for burning shampoo, so the barber's burden is hot at one end and cold at the other. "Shaving one's head and carrying a load" got its name.

The two-part allegorical saying of "carrying loads on one's head" comes from real life.

In the past, there were two ways to shave. One is a barber sitting in a barber shop waiting for someone to shave his head. Second, the barber carries the burden to shave his head. In rural areas, few people come to shave their heads, but many people shave others' heads.

The barber carries a load of hair, and the hot end is a small stove. There are three legs under the stove. You can stand on the ground. One of the legs extends upward into the flagpole, on which a long strip of sharpening cloth and towel are hung. There is a brass washbasin on the stove. The water in the basin is always hot and can be used for customers to wash their hair and face at any time.

The cold end of the barbershop's shaving pole is a rectangular stool for customers to sit on. There are two or three small drawers between the legs of the stool, in which hairdressing tools, such as razors, nail clippers, scissors, combs, grates, aprons, soap, vanishing cream, etc., are placed.

When a guest patronizes, sit on the barber's stool first, and the barber takes out a hot towel to warm the guest's face. When his beard was softened by the towel, he began to cut hair, shave and pull out his ears in one go. After this sequence, guests will feel happy and relaxed. With this cold-headed and hot-headed shaving rod, all service processes can be completed here, which is very convenient.
