Dai De of the Western Han Dynasty said in "Da Dai Li Ji·Xia Xiaozheng": "The first month of the year is the beginning of hibernation."All things come from Zhen, and Zhen represents thunder, so it is called Jingzhe. The hibernating insects were frightened and fled. Wu Cheng of the Yuan Dynasty wrote in the Collection of Explanations of the 72 Lunar Calendars: "In the second month...all things come out of the shock, which is thunder, so it is called the Waking of Insects, because hibernating insects are startled and flee." 】Qingzhe season: the weather warms up and farming begins <br /> Qingzhe means that the weather warms up and spring thunder begins to sound, awakening the hibernating insects underground. Zhe means to hide. In fact, insects cannot hear thunder. The spring coming back and the warming weather are the reasons why they end their hibernation and “run away in fright.” During the Jingzhe season, all kinds of hibernating insects feel the need to leave and begin to move. Spring thunder sounds, the rain increases, and the temperature rises. Everything is full of vitality. It is a good time for all things to grow, and the crops that need to be planted can be started. 】You can get a haircut on the day of Jingzhe: ——No haircuts in the first month of the lunar year <br /> In rural areas, it is not popular to get a haircut in the first month of the lunar year, especially for children. It is taboo to get a haircut before the first month of the lunar year. In rural areas, there is a saying that "getting a haircut in the first month of the lunar year will cause your uncle to die." Is it the best time to get a haircut on February 2nd?——The meaning of haircut on February 2nd: auspiciousness (1) On February 2nd, the day when the dragon raises its head, both adults and children have to get a haircut. People in the countryside call this day "shaving the dragon's head", and getting a haircut on this day is the most auspicious.(2) Although modern people no longer believe in the old rural customs, on the second day of the second lunar month, barbershops are at their busiest. People line up in long queues to get a haircut, and barbers are simply too busy to keep up. ——The importance of Jingzhe: “beating the bad guys” to drive away bad luck (1) Jingzhe symbolizes the beginning of February. It is like a thunderclap that awakens all hibernating snakes, insects, rats and ants. The reptiles and ants in the house will then get up and look for food everywhere. (2) Therefore, in ancient times, on the day of Jingzhe, people would hold fragrant incense and mugwort and fumigate the four corners of their homes to drive away snakes, insects, mosquitoes, rats and musty smells with the fragrance. Over time, this gradually evolved into a custom of slapping one’s enemy and driving away bad luck, which is the predecessor of “beating the villain”. |
