The almanac information about haircut appears in [Taboo in the Old Almanac], but according to custom, it is necessary to get a haircut on the day of the Dragon Raising its Head.People believe that shaving your head on the second day of the second lunar month will make you wake up from hibernation like a dragon and start to move. Therefore, people attach great importance to "Shaving the Dragon's Head on February 2", and everyone wants a good omen. In ancient times, there was a custom of not shaving one's head in the first month of the lunar calendar. This custom has been passed down to this day, and no matter how long the hair is, people have to wait until the second day of the second month to get a haircut. As the saying goes, "If the dragon doesn't raise its head, it won't rain." The dragon is a symbol of good fortune and the master of gentle weather and rain. On the second day of the second lunar month, people pray for the dragon to raise its head to create clouds and rain, and to nourish all things. This is known as "shaving the dragon's head on the second day of the second month." It is generally believed among the Chinese people that shaving one's head on this day will bring good luck and fortune, hence the saying "Shaving the head on the second day of the second month will ensure a healthy and energetic life for the whole year." On the second day of the second lunar month, every barber shop is crowded with customers and business is booming. So throughout the entire first month of the year, barber shops were deserted and had very little business. When it comes to the second day of the second month, there is a constant stream of people coming to get their hair cut. For those who come to get a haircut on this day, what is important is not the haircut itself, but to seek good luck: everyone comes to shave the dragon's head. In the old days, there was a saying among the people that "whether you have money or not, you should get a haircut during the New Year." In some places, girls also pierce their ears on this day. In addition, there is a saying among the people in our country that "cutting your hair in the first month of the lunar year will kill your uncle", so many people will not go to the barber shop for a month after getting their hair cut in the twelfth month, and the ban will not be lifted until the second day of the second month. However, this folk taboo has gradually faded in recent years. What can you do on February 2nd, when the dragon raises its head, to improve your fortune?1. On the day of "February 2, the Dragon Raises its Head", be sure to burn incense at the front door of your home or office, and burn three incense sticks. The best time to burn incense is at yin, yang, or wei, but other times are also acceptable. Note: When burning incense and making a wish at the same time, you can only make one wish. Also collect some incense ash for use.2. On the second day of the second month, place the collected incense ashes at the head of your bed (left for men and right for women). Note: the incense ashes should be wrapped in red paper, and the red envelope used for Chinese New Year can be used.
