This statement in Huangdi Neijing is specific to haircut, which means that in the three months of spring, the human body should let the hair grow freely and should not cut it off; You should let your hair hang loosely over your shoulders and don't tie it too tightly. People who violate this rule will hurt their lungs.
However, if you don't get a haircut all spring, summer and March, people really can't stand the trouble of long hair, so a wise man thought of a way to say that you don't get a haircut in the first month.
Of course, modern society is a scientific society, and the taboo mentioned above doesn't exist, not to mention the mysterious statement of dead uncle. But it is necessary to shave your head for health! China people are very taboo about death, so in many places, there is indeed a saying that people don't shave their heads in the first month.
In this case, it is best to shave your hair before the Chinese New Year or after the first month of this month! It's just a new atmosphere in the new year, and it's also a good way to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new!
The origin of my uncle's death in the first month of haircut
The Spring Festival is coming soon. I wanted to ask you this question for the first month. Who is the busiest in the first month? Some say they are policemen, some say they are mothers at home, and some say they are train drivers? I think it's all uncles. According to this convention, the first month is a hurdle for them. Any little nephew or niece who has her hair cut will definitely be scolded by the old people at home, but her head will be cut off and her uncle is still alive. The statement that my uncle died in the first month of his haircut has nothing to do with my uncle.
This story has to start with the Qing army's entry into the customs. In order to smooth out the four fields and adhere to the way of governing the country in the Central Plains, the Manchu Emperor decided to force a strange hairstyle among men in the Great Qing Dynasty: shave off the hair from the front to the top of the head, then shave off all the hairlines around, leaving only one piece in the middle, and braid a long big braid on the rest of the hair. Everyone has seen the film and television works of the Qing Dynasty and should be impressed.
This is the evolution of men's hairstyles in Qing Dynasty. I am glad that you were born in New China.
In the political environment at that time, in order to unify the whole country, especially the people's thoughts, the Qing Empire imposed this hairstyle, demanding the consistency of Manchu and Han. In today's words, it was an all-round promotion without dead ends. The first person to do this hairstyle was a barber. At that time, the Qing court called barbers from all over the country, and everyone sent a hanging flagpole with an imperial edict that said, "Leave your hair, don't leave your hair." At that time, under the pressure of the Qing court, this was not a story to the people, but a real move. Some scholars no longer advocate that your head can be cut off without shaving, but express your nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty by not shaving in the first month. In fact, I don't know what happened later, so I passed it on. The first month, I shaved my head and died. It's really great. So, after listening to today's story, in the first month, when your hair grows, you can cut it boldly. You don't have to feel sorry for your uncle anymore. Tell this story to the old people when they blame you!
