Why is it said that "you don't move in the twelfth lunar month and you don't get a haircut in the first lunar month"?

? This friend’s problem belongs to folk taboos. “Don’t move in the twelfth lunar month” and “not get a haircut in the first lunar month” are just two of the folk taboos. Answer in detail below.

1. Why is it said that “you don’t move in the twelfth lunar month”?

? “You don’t move in the twelfth lunar month” is a taboo on relocation. Some places are even more strict. Not only do they not move in the twelfth lunar month, but they also do not move in June, which is called "No moving in the twelfth lunar month in June." "June" here refers to the sixth month of the lunar calendar (Xia calendar).

? As for why you cannot move in the sixth and twelfth lunar month, the general understanding is that it is auspicious. Folks believe that it is unlucky to move during these two months. Because moving is a big event, the ancients did not move away from their hometown easily. Therefore, once they wanted to move, they always had to choose a so-called good day. Therefore, among the people, the saying "don't move during the twelfth lunar month of June" gradually formed. Therefore, those families who move also choose the moving time according to this custom. Needless to say, avoid these two months.

? However, "Tujili" does not completely explain why the sixth lunar month and the twelfth lunar month should be avoided instead of other months.

? People speculate that these two months were regarded as "unlucky" in ancient times, which should be related to the climate at that time. June of the lunar calendar is the hottest time in summer, and there are many thunderstorms. If you move at this time, you will be easily affected by thunderstorms, and the weather is too hot, making you prone to sweating and heatstroke. So, it makes sense to avoid the hot summer months.

As for "no moving in the twelfth lunar month", it is related to the cold. This is the coldest season in winter, and it is not suitable for people with cold hands and feet to do such strenuous and strenuous work as moving. 2. Why is it said "No haircut in the first month"?

As for the question of "No haircut in the first month", you can answer the question with another popular saying, "A haircut in the first month will kill your uncle". It is also the popular saying that "a haircut in the first month will kill your uncle", which is why the taboo of "not getting a haircut in the first month" has arisen.

? Then, another question arises, why is it said that "the uncle who had a haircut died in the first month"? What does hair have to do with uncle?

? There is another allusion to this statement. It is said that after the Qing army entered the customs, they implemented a strange hairstyle, which was to shave the hair from the front to the top of the head, and then shave all the hair around it, leaving only a concentrated piece in the middle and a long big hairline. braid. This policy implemented by the Qing Dynasty encountered strong resistance from the people of the Central Plains. The Qing Dynasty issued the order "Keep your head but not your hair, keep your hair but not your hair".

At that time, some literati found reasons not to shave their heads, so they used the excuse of "not shaving their heads during the first month" to express their longing for the Ming Dynasty. This is a kind of "nostalgic" feeling. In order to deceive others, they spread the word "nostalgia for haircuts" as "the dead uncle of haircuts". In other words, "dead uncle" was made up by using the homophony of "nostalgia", which actually expresses longing for the Ming Dynasty.

Since then, the legend of "a haircut in the first month will kill your uncle" has been passed down, and "not having a haircut in the first month" has become a custom.

Of course, some people now understand it as It’s too cold in winter, so we don’t have haircuts to protect our heads.

Since we don’t have haircuts in the first month, when can we have haircuts on the second day of the second lunar month? This is also given a certain meaning, called "Shaving your head at this time will bring you good luck throughout the year" and "good luck". 3. How to treat "not moving in the twelfth lunar month" and "not getting a haircut in the first lunar month"

First of all, we must realize that this is an ancient folk taboo, a product of the past when science was underdeveloped, and some of it contains superstitious elements. Therefore, we do not need to regard it as a taboo. "Treasure". In fact, people today no longer believe in these statements.

Secondly, we must also admit that these folk taboos also contain people's good wishes, such as the lunar calendar. Not moving in the twelfth month of June is also necessary to ensure that the move can go smoothly. It is also necessary to avoid the hottest and coldest days. In order to protect the head from the cold weather, it is also a good choice to wait until spring. The reason for moving at night is to "get brighter as you go", and some people say that "the wealth is not exposed". Although these reasons are far-fetched, they embody people's good wishes.

? Of course, one thing to note is not to magnify "good or bad life" infinitely. Life does not matter, it is mainly given by humans. No matter what you do, the implementation time must be determined according to the needs of the matter itself, and you cannot artificially create obstacles for yourself. For example, for the needs of urban development, the relocation of residential buildings in many places is chosen in the twelfth lunar month.
