Follow the fortune teller website and spend a long summer with you.Can I get a haircut during the summer solstice?According to the "Qing Jia Lu", "The summer solstice is the intersection of the hours. The sun hour, the second hour, and the last hour are called the 'three hours'. People in the community should be careful in their daily lives, refrain from cursing, and avoid shaving their heads. Among them, there is a saying that you cannot shave your head, because people believe that shaving your head on the summer solstice will lead to bad luck, so people generally do not shave their heads on the summer solstice. However, in fact, the so-called shaving on the summer solstice does not refer to people's daily haircuts, but refers to the first haircut for a newborn baby or the shaving of the hair when a monk becomes a monk. Therefore, if you are not a newborn baby or a monk who is about to become a monk, there is no need to be taboo about shaving your head on the summer solstice.What are the customs for bringing good luck during the summer solstice?1. Sacrifice: The summer solstice falls after the wheat harvest. Farmers thank God for the good harvest and pray for "autumn rewards." Around the summer solstice, grand sacrificial and blessing ceremonies would be held, and the emperor would hold a "sacrifice to the earth" ceremony to pray for the elimination of disasters and a good harvest. 2. Giving fans and sachets as presents: On the summer solstice, women will give each other folding fans, powder and sachets. "Fans" are used to create wind and dispel summer heat; "powder" can be applied to disperse the turbid air generated by body heat and prevent prickly heat; "sachets" can repel mosquitoes and insects and prevent the spread of infectious diseases. 3. Food: There has always been a saying in the north that "eat dumplings at the winter solstice and noodles at the summer solstice", which means that during the summer solstice, you have to eat cold noodles to reduce internal heat, stimulate appetite, and eliminate the summer heat. But the people in the south are different. They mainly eat oatmeal porridge and wonton. There is a saying that goes "eat wontons at the summer solstice and dumplings at the winter solstice, and the family will be healthy and reunited all year round." |
