In the old society, there were many taboos in folk customs, and not having a haircut in the first month was one of them. The first month of the lunar calendar makes the boy's hair grow crazy, but it can't be infringed at all, otherwise it will be bad for my uncle, so you can't cut your hair on the twelfth day of the first month. Shave your head in the first month, uncle. What a terrible responsibility. My uncle's safety depends on his nephew's head. It was not until the second day of the second lunar month that boys had the freedom to shave their heads.

The source of not being able to get a haircut in the first lunar month

The custom of not having a haircut in the first month originated from the Qing army entering the customs. It is said that in order to make the surrounding areas peaceful and stay in the Central Plains, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty practiced a strange hairstyle: all the hair from the front to the top of the head was shaved off, and then all the hairlines around it were shaved off, leaving only one concentrated hair and twisting it into a long big braid, which is a typical hairstyle of the Qing Dynasty. Later, this hairstyle spread among Han people, and the person who promoted this hairstyle was the barber at that time.

The Han people have experienced countless dynasties. Who became the emperor did not attract attention, but the change of hairstyle angered some people. The Qing dynasty also made a slogan, that is, leave your head without hair, and leave your hair without head. Unexpectedly, this tough Mao revolution was opposed by the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Some people think that shaving their hair is a great insult to their personality, so they rebel, hoping to make the Manchu people converge through the power of resistance. However, the Qing emperor naturally did not weaken. Just find a quarrel, and there will be tragedies such as the massacre in Yangzhou No.10 Middle School and Jiading No.3 Middle School. In the absence of a way out, people have to stop shouting the slogan "the head can be cut off, not shaved". On the contrary, they don't shave their heads in January to express their thoughts about the Ming Dynasty, which means they miss the past. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, he was misinformed as a dead uncle.
