Is there a saying that you can’t cut your hair in the fifth month of the lunar calendar?
Introduction: There is a folk saying that you cannot get a haircut in the fifth month of the lunar calendar. Is this true? The fifth month of the lunar calendar is a time when spring is coming to an end but summer is yet to begin. The fortune teller website takes you to appreciate every day of the fifth lunar month of 2018. Generally speaking, newborn babies are not shaved; the fontanelle on the top of their heads has not yet completely closed, which is where the Baihui acupoint is located and is easily invaded by external pathogens.
There is a popular saying among the people that you should not shave your head in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, as doing so will cause your uncle to die. 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.
