What were the haircut taboos in the old days?

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 hair and beard are inherited from parents, so people do not discard them when their ancestors pass away, to show filial piety and to express grief and longing. Some say that it is to recall the sadness of the deceased and not to think about tidying up their appearance to show filial piety. Others say that not cutting hair or shaving is to change one's appearance so that the dead cannot recognize them 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. Not only are haircuts and shavings prohibited during funerals, there are also many other taboos. For example, the Ewenki people have the custom of not getting a haircut or shaving in the afternoon. I wonder if it has something to do with the return of the soul, or maybe 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. The Han ethnic group also has the custom that nephews are forbidden to get a haircut at their uncle's house. It is said that if a nephew gets a haircut at his uncle's house, it will "harm his uncle." "Jiu" is homophonic with "jiu", which means old people. According to "Er Ya". "Shu" says: "Jiu means old; Gu means former. Jiugu is a term for elderly people." (See also "Baihutongyi") It can be seen that to hinder the uncle is to hinder the old, which means to hinder the elderly. This custom was once popular in the Central Plains regions such as Henan, Hebei and Shandong. It is especially taboo in the first month of the year. In the old days, many Han people also grew beards, and there was a saying that a man without a beard was not beautiful. The Hui and Dongxiang peoples in the northwest region and the areas where the old religion of Islam is popular have the custom of not growing beards, which has evolved from the old religious rules into a lifestyle habit. Han Chinese people, if their parents are still alive, it is taboo for their sons to grow beards. But if you don't grow a beard after having grandchildren, people will gossip about you again. Oroqen women braid their hair into two braids and tie them on their heads, which is a sign of engagement. It is also a sign of taboo, indicating that the woman already has a husband and cannot discuss marriage again.
