Can’t I shave or cut my hair in the first month of the lunar calendar in 2020?

In our country's traditional customs, there is a saying that "don't shave your head in the first month of the lunar year."
Not shaving your head in the first month of the lunar calendar refers to the custom that is prevalent in most parts of my country: "Don't shave your head in the first month of the lunar calendar, or your uncle will die." This custom originated around the time when the Qing government issued the shaving order in 1644.

It is a misunderstanding that if you cut your hair in the first month of the lunar year, your uncle will die. The meaning of not cutting hair is "missing the past", which is a custom that has been passed down since the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty ordered all citizens to cut their hair. Some people did not cut their hair during the first month of the lunar year to express their "nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty".
But they could not openly confront the Qing government, so there was a saying that "cutting your hair in the first month of the lunar year will mean your uncle's death", which has been passed down to this day.
However, this is just an old saying. Now it still depends on the actual situation. Unless there are some special circumstances, people will generally be more refreshed and energetic if they find free time to get a haircut!
