Can I get a haircut during the Dragon Boat Festival? Is it good to get a haircut during the Dragon Boat Festival?
Introduction: The Dragon Boat Festival is an important traditional festival in China. Can you get a haircut on this day? The Dragon Boat Festival is also known as the Dragon Boat Festival. Since ancient times, there has been a custom of dragon boat racing on the Dragon Boat Festival. The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in 2018 vary from place to place, and contain profound Chinese traditional folk culture. The saying that you can have a haircut is that you should have your hair cut on the Dragon Boat Festival, especially for children and girls.
Legend has it that if you don’t get a haircut when the festival is coming, “ghosts” will pull out your long hair and use it as string to wrap rice dumplings. When we were young, adults always used this method to scare us who were afraid of getting a haircut. The "festival" that people in my hometown refer to is the Dragon Boat Festival. Traditional festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Double Ninth Festival are not called "festivals" in my hometown. Having a haircut during every festival shows that people in my hometown attach as much importance to the Dragon Boat Festival as the Spring Festival.
There is a popular saying among the people that you cannot cut your hair in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, as doing so will cause your uncle to die.
Legend: Legend has it that one year after a violent storm, a python spirit appeared in the Yellow Mud Cave on the Pagoda Mountain, ten miles east of Linmen. The python often transformed into a human and came out of the cave to do evil. People within a ten-mile radius were terrified and would close their doors and windows early every day before the sun set. Some people even fled with their children to seek refuge in other places. One evening, the python spirit transformed into a human form, went down the mountain and kidnapped a girl named Huijuan to be its fifth wife. Huijuan is not only beautiful but also smart. In order to get rid of this monster, she is submissive on the surface but looks for opportunities secretly. One day, when the python spirit was in high spirits, she sighed, "My husband, you are a god and I am a mortal. I would be so happy if I could live forever like you!" The python spirit was so happy that she forgot herself and hugged Huijuan and whispered, "Although I am a god, I also have shortcomings. If you pull out a hair of my nephew and strangle me, I will die." On the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar of that year, the python spirit invited her nephew to Huangni Cave to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. After eating and drinking, they went to bed. Late at night, Huijuan pulled a hair from the python spirit's nephew's head and strangled the python spirit's neck. The spirit's head fell off and he died immediately. The next day, people from the four townships and eighteen villages were delighted to hear that the python spirit was dead! To relieve their hatred, people started a big fire and threw the python spirit's head into the fire. Unexpectedly, in the fifth month of the lunar calendar that year, for some unknown reason, every time a child had a shaved head, my uncle would fall ill and die three days later. People speculated that although the python spirit turned into ashes, May became a poisonous month. So from then on, the saying "If you don't shave your head in May, your uncle will die" spread among the people.
