What are the rules and taboos for hair cutting?

The most popular taboo about haircuts is probably the saying that "getting a haircut in the first month of the lunar year will cause your uncle to die." In fact, this saying started to circulate in the Qing Dynasty, because Han people thought of haircuts as "old (Ming)" and it was banned. Among the Han nationality and many ethnic minorities, there is a custom that prohibits cutting hair and shaving beards during funerals. When someone dies in the family, men are not allowed to have their hair cut or shave for a month or a hundred days once they learn the bad news. One of the beliefs is that because hair and beard are inherited from parents, people do not throw them away when their ancestors pass away, in order to show filial piety and to express grief and longing. Some people also say that not cutting hair is to recall the sad feelings of the deceased, reflecting that one is too sad to tidy up one's appearance, thus showing filial piety. There is also a saying that not cutting hair or shaving is to change one's appearance so that the dead cannot recognize one and avoid disaster. The first two statements are both related to etiquette and are relatively close, and are the spread and influence of Confucianism. The latter theory is related to the popular belief that hair and beard are related to the soul, and that hair and beard can harm one's body through witchcraft. In addition, other ethnic groups also have taboos about cutting hair and shaving. For example, the Ewenki people in Northeast China (the area bordering Heilongjiang and Russia) have a custom of not getting a haircut or shaving in the afternoon. Some people say that this is related to the return of the soul, and they are worried that getting a haircut or shaving in the afternoon will change their appearance and the soul will not be able to return to their body smoothly.
