Have you ever heard of the saying "Uncle who shaves his head in the first month"? The origins of this term can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, when the Manchus, in order to rule better, introduced a shaving order requiring Han Chinese to shave their hair. This policy sparked a strong revolt from the Han Chinese, who saw shaving their hair as an act of submission and surrender, a betrayal of their own culture and traditions.
In order to resist this policy, the Han Chinese people resorted to various methods, one of which was not to shave their heads during the first lunar month. The first month is the Spring Festival of the Han people, a symbol of reunion and festivity, if you shave your head in the first month, you will commit taboos, will put yourself|Good luck shaved. And the uncle has a pivotal position in the family, and if he shaves his head in the first month, he will anger the uncle and bring a bad influence to himself. As a result, there is a saying that "the first month shaves his head and dies his uncle".
Over time, this saying gradually spread and became a folk belief. Today, it has evolved into a cultural phenomenon that no longer has the same meaning, but it still influences our lives and behaviors.
Everyone has their own opinion on this phenomenon. Some people think that this is a superstition and should be discarded; There are also those who believe that it is a traditional culture that should be respected. In my opinion, the influence of this traditional culture is deep-rooted, and even if we no longer believe in the saying that "the first month of the year shaves the head and kills the uncle", we will still be influenced by this traditional concept. Therefore, we should respect this cultural phenomenon while also maintaining a rational and scientific attitude.
