There is an old saying: "If you have money, shave your head for the New Year." On the occasion of saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year, haircut actually means "starting from scratch", pinning people's hopes and expectations for the new year.

Shaving one's head in the Lunar New Year is an auspicious meaning in traditional folk customs. China has a vast territory and many nationalities, and its customs are different from those of the Spring Festival. Cultural connotation is very rich. But shaving, bathing, cleaning, writing Spring Festival couplets, praying for blessings, hanging lanterns, making rice cakes and eating jiaozi are almost all folk traditions of ordinary people, and they are also the simplest Chinese New Year folk customs.
