Is it true that dragons raise their heads and cut their hair in February? It's not good for my uncle to have his hair cut in February.
On February 2, the dragon looked up and cut his hair, but his uncle didn't die. There is only one folk saying that "in the first month, if you don't shave your head, your uncle will die." February 2 of the lunar calendar is the traditional Spring Festival.

Children's haircut is called "haircut" and adults' haircut is called "haircut faucet".
How did the sentence "My uncle died in the first month" come from?
It is rumored that you can't get a haircut in the first month, or you will die. As a result, friends found that the barber shop was deserted in the first month, and on the day of "February 2, the dragon looked up", the business of the barber shop was even more prosperous.
In fact, it is said that it is only a legend that you can't get a haircut in the first month, or you will die. Of course, legends also have inheritance and strength.
According to textual research, Volume II of Ye Xianzhi published in the 24th edition of the Republic of China reveals the mystery of customs: "I heard that the imperial edict of shaving hair before Qingxiang was implemented in the first month of the fourth year of Shunzhi, and the system of the Ming Dynasty changed, so the people thought of the old king because of shaving hair, so they thought of the old. After being together for a long time, I mistakenly became a dead uncle. " It is a kind of "nostalgia" not to shave your head in the first month. The first month is the beginning of a year, just like a morning. Don't shave your head for a month in the first month to remember the tradition.
When will the dragon get a haircut on February 2? Good morning.
Dragons had better get up in the morning to have their hair cut. On the second day of the second lunar month, spring returns to the earth, which is the season of planting crops, and the earth is eager for rain. In China culture, the dragon is an auspicious thing that dominates the wind and rain. As the saying goes, it doesn't rain until the dragon looks up, so the dragon looks up as a symbol of recovery and auspiciousness. In folk customs, people choose to shave their heads on this day in order to look forward to good luck.
On February 2nd, the forbidden book of dragons looking up.
1. If you marry your daughter, don't spend February 2 at your mother's house.
The reason why the Dragon can't go back to her parents' house on February 2nd is mainly because the married kannika nimtragol can't stay at her parents' house on February 2nd, which is a common saying circulated by her husband's family to let kannika nimtragol go back to her husband's house as soon as possible. Later, if kannika nimtragol has been living in her parents' home, her husband's family will take kannika nimtragol home in early February. According to the custom of the old society, the newly-married kannika nimtragol had to wait on her in-laws and husband at her husband's house the year before last. After the 16th day of the first month, she can temporarily stay at her parents' house as a rest day, but only until the end of the month, and she will have to go home after the first month. Because it will be folk spring ploughing after February 2, we have to work in the fields.
2. Avoid giving birth at home.
Under the social thought of the ancient patriarchal society, in the eyes of the ancients, a married daughter is like a spilled water, equivalent to a man's man. But women must see blood when giving birth to children, and they will discharge some lochia after giving birth, so it is very dirty in the eyes of the ancients. When a woman goes back to her mother's house to have a baby, it means bringing "bad luck" home, and when the dragon looks up on February 2, it means bringing good luck home, which conflicts with this, so women are not allowed to have a baby at their mother's house.
3. No needle and thread, no scissors.
In ancient China, the dragon was regarded as a sacred symbol by the ancients. "Dragon title" is therefore taboo, so as not to hurt the black dragon and affect the luck of the whole year. Women are forbidden to use needles and scissors on this day, because the black dragon will look up at the world on this day, and using things with needles and sharp edges will stab longan. When a woman gets up, she usually says, "On February 2nd, the dragon looks up, but if the dragon doesn't look up, I will look up".
4. Avoid saying "jealousy"
In the dialects of the central plains provinces in China, because "jealousy" is regarded as the meaning of "jealousy", February 2 is called "jealousy" because the festival itself is festive and people are afraid that narrow-minded people will affect Geely.
