You are welcome to check it out!When is the best time to cut your hair during the Dragon Raising Festival?February 2nd is the day when the dragon raises its head. Getting a haircut on this day can bring good luck for the whole year. The dragon raising its head is a symbol of revival and auspiciousness. Generally speaking, Chinese people prefer to get their hair cut early rather than late, and the same is true for getting their hair cut at night. However, in recent years, many people are busier during the day, so more and more people choose to get their hair cut at night.Why do you cut your hair on February 2?Explanation 1 <br /> There is a folk saying that February 2 is the day when the dragon raises its head. On this day, all things come back to life and hibernating dragons begin to move. Everyone believes that shaving one's head on this day will bring good luck and fortune. Cutting children's hair on this day is called "shaving a happy head", which means blessing the child with good health and making him successful when he grows up. Adults cut their hair on this day, which means bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, and wishing everything goes well and good luck. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "Shaving the dragon's head on the second day of the second month will bring you a spirited year."Explanation 2 <br /> Another theory is related to the saying "getting a haircut in the first month of the lunar year will cause your uncle to die", saying that getting a haircut in the first month of the lunar year is unlucky. However, according to historians, not getting a haircut in the first month of the lunar year was originally a way of "remembering the past", and the saying "getting a haircut in the first month of the lunar year will cause your uncle to die" is a misunderstanding of folk culture and has no scientific basis at all. However, the older generation in the folk still follows the custom of not getting a haircut in the first month of the lunar year, and the ban is lifted on the second day of the second month. Therefore, on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, every barber shop is crowded with customers and business is booming. What are the taboos when the dragon raises its head on February 2?1. After a woman gets married, it is taboo for her to spend the second day of the second lunar month at her parents’ home.2. Women are not allowed to give birth in their parents’ home. 3. When a woman gets married, avoid choosing pregnant women, “turning back” women, and widows as the bridegroom or the bridesmaid. 4. The pot must not be empty from the Spring Festival to the second day of the second lunar month. 5. Avoid visiting relatives and friends or patients on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and do not visit patients in the afternoon. 6. It is taboo to say "closed" in shops. Closing the shop at night is called "close the door". 7. Avoid using mulberry wood (“桑” is homophonic to “丧”) and locust wood (“槐” is homophonic to “坏”) when building houses. 8. When congratulating someone, avoid wearing white shoes, or wearing a white leg band or white belt. After the death of parents, no congratulations can be given within one month. 9. Fishermen or boat owners avoid saying "turn over" and say "slide over" instead. 10. Avoid saying "jealous", which is called "using taboos". 11. When making dumplings during the Spring Festival, avoid saying “po li” (breaking li), instead say “zheng li” (strengthening li). 12. When you go to a teahouse to get water, avoid saying "boiled water". Call it "white water". 13. Shoulder vendors should avoid stepping over their shoulder poles (because “迈” (mai) sounds like “卖” (selling)). 14. When returning a borrowed bucket to the owner, you are not allowed to carry the empty bucket inside. You should carry the empty bucket in one hand and a shoulder pole in the other, or carry a load of water on your shoulders. 15. If you borrow a pot for boiling Chinese herbs, you must pledge some food when returning it. In some areas, it is not allowed to be returned and the user has to come and pick it up. 16.
