Can I get a haircut during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2018? Why can’t you get a haircut on Dragon Boat Festival?
Haircut is something we often encounter in our daily life, but in many places there is a custom of not having haircut during the Dragon Boat Festival. Let’s learn about it together. The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four major traditional festivals every year and has a very important significance in the traditional culture of the Chinese nation. The Fortune Teller website will tell you all about the 2018 Dragon Boat Festival.The saying that you can’t get a haircut during the Dragon Boat FestivalThere is a popular saying that you cannot shave your head in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, as it will kill your uncle.legend: Legend has it that one year after a violent storm, a python spirit appeared in the Yellow Mud Cave on Pagoda Mountain, ten miles east of Linmen. The spirit often transformed itself 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 want to live forever in the world like you. How happy I would be!" The python spirit was so happy that he forgot everything else and hugged Huijuan and whispered, "Although I am a god, I also have shortcomings. If you pull out a hair from my nephew and strangle me with it, I will die." On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month of that year, the python spirit invited his nephew to Huangni Cave to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. After eating and drinking, he 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. The saying that you need a haircut during the Dragon Boat FestivalHair should be cut on Dragon Boat Festival, especially for children and girls;legend: It’s almost a festival, and if you don’t get a haircut, the “ghosts” will pull out your long hair and use it as string to wrap rice dumplings. When we were little, 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. |
