How did the folk custom of "no haircut in the first month" come from?

The phrase "My uncle died in the first month" has a long history and is used to warn people not to shave their heads in the New Year. But in fact, this is an excuse for the Han people to resist the aristocratic rule of the Qing Dynasty, and the Han people also use this move to remember their ancestors and traditions, because "dead uncle" is homophonic with "thinking about the old". However, with the development of the times, we should also choose the inheritance of cultural traditions without affecting our normal life because of misunderstanding.

The folk custom of "no haircut in the first month" has a long history. If you want to trace back to the source, you have to start with the habit of "having hair on your body and obeying your parents".

Han men have a tradition of storing hair since ancient times. This custom lasted for thousands of years, and it was not broken until the Qing army entered the customs. In order to express their dissatisfaction with the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and to remember their ancestors and preserve the traditional custom of "storing hair", many people with lofty ideals of the Han nationality deliberately misread "thinking of the old" as "dead uncle" in order to avoid being beheaded in the first month to show their clear aspirations. Because if you didn't cut your hair in the first month, it means you didn't cut your hair this year.

Although this is only a "deliberate move" by the Han people against the Qing government, it has affected countless people. The saying that "my uncle died of a haircut in the first month" is widely circulated to warn people not to have a haircut in the first month. But now that the times have developed, we should treat these folk customs rationally and don't have to believe them.

And many young people have cut their hair before the Chinese New Year. After all, the new year is a new atmosphere, and they want to welcome the new year with a new look, so it is naturally unnecessary to have a haircut in the first month.
