Can I get a haircut on New Year's Day? Can I cut my hair in the first month of the lunar year?
The hair on our body is given by our parents. Chinese people attach great importance to hair and believe that hair plays an important role in warding off evil spirits and strengthening yang. In many cases, hair cannot be cut. So, can hair be cut on New Year's Day? Can I cut my hair in the first month of the lunar year?Can I get a haircut on New Year’s Day?In fact, there is no taboo against cutting hair on New Year's Day. Some people even think that getting a haircut on New Year's Day, as the first day of the new year, is an opportunity to get rid of the bad things of the old year. Cutting hair also means starting from scratch, which has a good meaning.Before cutting your hair, please consider your own situation and don’t cut your hair blindly: Imagine what you would look like with short hair. Never think that you can have the same hairstyle as others just because you see them have short hair and think that they look good. Please think calmly whether you are suitable for such a hairstyle and whether it would look strange if you had it cut. You must consider your hair quality. Many European and American actresses have started to grow long hair. The low layers and slight curls make them look retro and sweet. However, European and American girls have finer and softer hair than Asian girls, so cutting this kind of short hair without layers and adding curls will not look thick. The face shape must also be taken into consideration. People with oval, square, and heart-shaped faces are most suitable for short hair. There is almost no short hair style that they cannot handle. If you have a round face, you must pay special attention. The kind of handsome bangs that cover half of the face are not suitable for people with really round faces. Covering the face will only make the face look bigger. For girls with round faces, exposing the whole face is actually the best way to make the face look smaller. Can I cut my hair in the first month of the lunar year?In our country, many places have the folk custom of "not cutting hair in the first month of the lunar year". The reason for this is that the most widely circulated saying is "cutting hair in the first month of the lunar year will kill your uncle." In fact, the saying that "getting a haircut in the first month of the lunar year will kill your uncle" is a false rumor. After the Qing army entered the pass, the government required all men to have a "shahu head", that is, shaving the hair on the forehead and tying a braid at the back of the head. The policy at the time was to keep the head but not the hair, or keep the hair but not the head, with the aim of consolidating the rule of the Qing Dynasty. This caused great opposition from the Han people who believed that "how dare I damage the hair and body given by my parents", but they eventually surrendered after many violent conflicts.Many stubborn people combined obedience to tradition with nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty and agreed that no one would shave their heads during the first month of the lunar year. This was called "thinking of the past", which means "missing the past history". This was also recorded in the Qing court's "Book of Rites". Conclusion: So there is no saying that you can’t cut your hair on New Year’s Day. You can also cut your hair in the first month of the lunar year. It all depends on your personal wishes. |
