Is it okay to have a haircut on the tenth day of the first month?

According to tradition, you can't get a haircut in the first month. "A haircut in the first month will kill your uncle." But this is actually a misinformation. Not shaving your head in the first month is a custom handed down from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, which means "thinking about the past and thinking about the future". At that time, the Qing dynasty asked all people to have their hair cut, saying, "Leave the hair, leave the hair." Some people miss the Ming Dynasty, so they don't have their hair cut in the first month to show their nostalgia. However, it was impossible to openly confront the Qing government, so there was a saying that "my uncle died in the first month", which has been passed down to this day.

In the past, most barbershops in China were closed from the first day to the fifteenth day during the Spring Festival, making it difficult to get a haircut. Now everyone doesn't believe this statement. The barber shop was opened after the sixth day of the first month, and many people cut their hair. There is a joke that says, "If you can shave your head and kill your uncle in the first month, you won't have to shave your head so hard to save your mother in the first month."
