Did you get a haircut in the first month?

During the period of the Republic of China, Volume II of Ye Xianzhi Customs recorded: "I heard that the decree of shaving hair in the former Qing Dynasty was implemented in the first month of the fourth year of Shunzhi. When the system changed in the Ming Dynasty, people thought of the old gentleman because of shaving their hair, so they called it' old ideas'. After a long delay, it was misinformed as "My uncle died".

The meaning of this passage is very clear. Everyone knows that the origin of this custom is nothing more than the Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, forcing the Han people to shave their heads and braid their hair. China people cherish their motherland and pin their thoughts of national subjugation on their braids. Shaving their hair has become an idea to shave the old. Later, everyone spread it, and it became the death of Uncle Shabu. Because this haircut system was implemented in the first month, there is now a "haircut in the first month, your uncle died." This is a joke that has been passed down through the ages.
