Can I get a haircut on the fifteenth day of the first month?

Of course.

You can cut your hair whenever you want. It used to be said that you can't cut your hair on the fifteenth day of the first month. This statement was fabricated by the Han people after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. The older generation can't say that they don't get a haircut in the first month. Their hair is influenced by their parents and they can't give up. When the first month is a day of reunion, it is especially difficult to give up parents' gifts.

Huangdi Neijing holds that in the first month, the yang between heaven and earth gradually rose, and everything began to grow outward. According to the concept of "harmony between man and nature", people should also conform to nature, go to bed early and get up early, wear loose clothes, untie their hair, let it hang freely on their shoulders and let it grow freely, instead of cutting it off; You can't tie your hair too tightly, which will hinder the growth of human hair and restrict the vitality of the human body.
