So, can you get a haircut on the Lantern Festival? What are the taboos of the Lantern Festival? A year's plan begins in spring, and almost every day in the first month of the lunar calendar is a festival. InkMr.com's special topic on the first month of the lunar calendar in 2019 lists these traditional Chinese festivals and festival customs for you.Can I get a haircut during the Lantern Festival?In traditional customs, people generally do not cut their hair on the Lantern Festival. In our country, there has always been a tradition of not cutting hair in the first month of the lunar calendar. The best time to get a haircut is on the second day of the second month, when the dragon raises its head. There were many taboos in the folk customs in the old days, and “no shaving in the first month of the lunar year” was one example. During the first month of the lunar calendar, the boy's hair can grow wildly but cannot be touched at all, otherwise it will be bad for his uncle. "If you get a haircut in the first month of the lunar year, your uncle will die." What a scary responsibility! The uncle's safety depends entirely on what's on his nephew's head. It is not until the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar that boys are free to shave their heads.In fact, the saying "don't get a haircut in the first month of the lunar year" originated in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, people called haircutting "xiao'er". The "first month" was called "Golden Month" in the Tang Dynasty. If you got a haircut in the first month, it was called "Golden Month Xiao'er". During the Tang Dynasty, the government had a special weapon called "Golden Axe", which was a torture instrument specifically used to chop off the heads of criminals. "Jin Yue" and "Jin Yue" have the same pronunciation, so getting a haircut in the first month of the year becomes "Jin Yue Xiao Er" - which means getting beheaded in the execution ground. In order to avoid taboos, people later developed the custom of not getting a haircut in the first month of the lunar calendar. What are the taboos of the Lantern Festival?1. Do not kill. Do not kill any living beings on this day, as this is an ominous sign of seeing blood. Problems that may arise include financial loss and illness.2. Don't wash your hair. Because "fa" means to get rich, and washing your hair on this day will wash away all your wealth and you will not be able to save anything for a year. 3. Don’t put broken shoes at the door. "Broken shoes" is a derogatory word in itself. In ancient times, people often used it to scold some unruly married women. It generally refers to second-hand goods that others don't want. If there are broken shoes left in the house, people will usually mention it, which will result in good luck not entering the house. 4. If you lose your property on the Lantern Festival, it means that you are unable to take good care of your wallet and it will be difficult to seize opportunities throughout the year. Therefore, special attention should be paid to prevent the loss of property. 5. On the Lantern Festival, it is best not to lend money to others, otherwise, it will be easy for others to borrow your luck this year. 6. On the Lantern Festival, the rice jar and the flour jar should not be empty, because there is an ancient saying that running out of food is a disaster. 7. On the Lantern Festival, be careful not to tear your clothes. Otherwise, it is easy to be ruined and unlucky for a year. Fortune is related to a person's life, property and other aspects.
