The custom of "Don't shave your head in the first month, but shave your uncle to death" is very popular in most places. This custom originated around 1644, when the Qing court issued a haircut order. This statement is actually due to China people's yearning for the Ming Dynasty and their resistance to the Qing Dynasty, which led to the "nostalgia" becoming a "dead uncle", and the spread of this custom.
In addition, there is also a saying that "the first month ignores the head." There is a saying in the theory of "Four Qi Regulating the Spirit" in Huangdi's Internal Classic: Let's shape up, live without killing, give without taking away, and reward without punishment. This is the reaction of spring and the way of keeping in good health. Otherwise, the liver will be damaged, it will get cold in summer, and there will be few elders.
Specifically, in the three months of spring, hair should be allowed to grow freely, not cut off. You should let your hair hang loosely over your shoulders and don't tie it too tightly. If you violate this rule, you will hurt your lungs. But if you don't get a haircut all spring and March, people really can't stand the trouble of long hair, so some people just start to ignore it in the first month.
The custom of the sixth day of the first month
1, Lunar New Year's Eve, when people really start working or doing business.
As soon as shops and restaurants are officially opened, firecrackers will be set off, no less than on New Year's Eve. This day also means that farmers in the south start farming on this day to prepare for spring ploughing.
On this day, every household should throw out the garbage accumulated in the festival, which is called sending it to the poor.
3. In the past, it was not cleaned until the fifth day of the first month, and the feces in the toilet accumulated until the sixth day, so it was called feces.
So on the sixth day, I did a big cleaning and worshipped the toilet god to clean the dirty toilet on weekdays.
The sixth day is the anniversary of the founder of Shimizu.
The founder of Qingshui, also known as the black-faced founder or originator (because it is said that when there is a local disaster, the founder of Qingshui will show his saints and drop his ancestors), and many areas will hold a grand celebration in the ancestral temple every year on the sixth day of the first month.
