Why can't I have my hair cut during the New Year?

Not good for my uncle.

In the old society, there were many taboos in folk customs, such as "No shaving in the first month". In the first month of the summer calendar, although the boy's hair is crazy long, it can't be violated at all, otherwise it will be bad for my uncle. "I shaved my head in the first month and died." What a terrible responsibility. My uncle's safety depends on his nephew's head. It was not until the second day of February in the summer calendar that the boy was free to shave his head.

SpringFestival, the ChineseNewYear in China, is commonly known as "Spring Festival", "New Year" and "New Year's Eve". It is a folk festival that integrates the old and the new, worships ancestors, prays for evil spirits, reunites relatives and friends, and entertains food.
