Do you need a haircut on the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raises its head? Why do you need a haircut?
Many children will be taken to the barber shop by their parents to get a haircut on the Dragon Raising Day in February. Do you know why? Why do we have to get a haircut on the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raises its head? The beautiful spring has arrived, flowers are blooming, birds are singing, all things are beginning to wake up, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere. Mr. Shuimo.com takes you to experience the second month of the lunar calendar in 2019!Why do people get a haircut on February 2, the day when the dragon raises its head?There are several explanations about this custom: 1. The second day of the second month of the lunar calendar is the traditional "Spring Dragon Festival". There is a saying that "on the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head". There has always been a folk custom of "cutting hair and getting rid of the old". It is said that getting a haircut on this day can bring good luck for the whole year. Because of the popular belief that "If you don't get a haircut in the first month of the lunar year, your uncle will die", many people do not go to the barber shop for a month after getting their hair cut in the twelfth month, until the second day of the second month. However, this folk taboo has gradually faded in recent years. 2. 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 month of the lunar calendar, people pray for the dragon to raise its head to create clouds and rain to nourish all things. This is known as "shaving the dragon's head in February." It is generally believed among the people that shaving the head on this day will bring good luck and fortune, so the proverb says "Shaving the head on the second day of the second month will ensure a healthy and energetic year." 3. The custom of shaving heads on February 2nd has been passed down for more than 300 years. Since the Qing army entered the pass in 1644, the government has required all men to keep a shahu head, with no hair around the edges and a strand of hair in the middle, which is braided into a braid. It is not like this for the Han people. Before the Ming Dynasty, children under the age of eighteen could have their hair cut. Generally, their hair was shaved bald, leaving no part of their head untouched. Once they turned eighteen and put on a hat, their hair could never be cut again, until they died, because the hair on their bodies is inherited from their parents. Therefore, Han men have to keep all the hair on their heads, and braid it and put it up in a bun. Therefore, Han men did not cut their hair, but after the Qing army entered the pass, they were forced to cut their hair, so the common people had an agreement that no one should cut their hair in the first month of the lunar year, as cutting your head in the first month of the lunar year would kill your uncle. In fact, it means "missing the past", so it is called "shaving the head in the first month of the lunar year to miss the past", and later people called it "dead uncle".The ups and downs of fortune represent the ups and downs of an individual’s life.
