How did the custom of not shaving your head in the first month of the lunar year come about?

The custom of not shaving your head in the first month of the lunar year has a lot to do with a piece of history, and this story has to start from the rule of the Qing Dynasty! The Qing government forced the Han people to change to the Manchu hairstyle, shaving their heads and keeping pigtails in order to unify the national clothing, which aroused strong national resistance, and thus the slogan "I would rather be a ghost with tied hair than a barber" came into being. Later, with the help of folk language, a two-part allegorical saying was created: "Shaving in the first month of the lunar year - dead uncle", which uses the homophony of "dead uncle" to imply "missing the past", expressing a national resistance under the dark rule of national oppression. After more than 300 years of word of mouth, shaving in the first month of the lunar year has evolved into another meaning, and now it is more reflected in the personality and cultural tradition of the Chinese nation that attaches importance to blood ties. However, it is still necessary for everyone to understand the origin of the custom of not shaving in the first month of the lunar year. This is a kind of understanding and inheritance of our Chinese history.
