The sun hour, the second hour and the last hour are called the 'three hours'. People in the area should be careful about their daily life, refrain from cursing, and avoid shaving their heads. There are many taboos..." Therefore, there is a custom that you cannot have a haircut on the summer solstice.

In the Suzhou area of our country during the Qing Dynasty, there was such a custom. They believed that shaving their heads on the summer solstice would ruin their luck.But the shaving here does not actually refer to the haircut as people understand it now. The shaving here refers to the first haircut of a newborn baby and the shaving of the hair of monks. Therefore, there is no need to be taboo for children and adults. How much do you know about the summer solstice?“It’s not hot though at the summer solstice” and “The first day of the dog days is counted three days after the summer solstice.” Although the summer solstice indicates that the hot summer has arrived, it is not the hottest time yet. The temperature will continue to rise for a period of time after the summer solstice. After about another 20 to 30 days, it will generally be the hottest weather.The ancient Chinese divided the summer solstice into three stages: the first stage is when deer antlers fall off, the second stage is when cicadas start to sing, and the third stage is when pinellia ternata grows. The summer solstice is also an important traditional folk festival - the "Summer Solstice Festival". There are customs among the people such as offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, spending the summer trying to escape the dog days, eating noodles, and eating rice dumplings. |
