How long does it take for the grandson of the old man to get a haircut?

This statement does exist. As for how long it will take for future generations to get a haircut after the death of the old man, it depends on the customs in various regions. For example, in Tianjin, it usually takes 7 days to get a haircut, while in some areas of Jiangsu, it is required to wait until May 7 to get a haircut, which means that it will take 35 days to get a haircut. In addition, in some areas, a haircut may take 100 days. The reason for these regulations is actually out of respect and nostalgia for the elderly.

In fact, this is how ancestors were handed down. Perhaps many people don't know why they do it, and even many people may think it is a feudal superstition. But it is undeniable that since the ancestors left this set of rules, I think it is best to follow them. Actually, it's not superstitious. I think it's also a memory of the dead old man. In fact, this is the same as sweeping graves in Qingming. From a scientific point of view, sweeping graves actually has no effect, it can only be regarded as a feeling, because we can only cherish the memory of the dead in this way.

Of course, the customs in different places are actually different. Sometimes even in the same city, there may be several customs. For example, in Nantong, our hometown, in some areas, the old man can't get a haircut for seven days after his death, while in some areas, it is stipulated that the descendants of the family should get a haircut the day after his death, and then they can't get a haircut for 35 days.

Customs are hard to say. For example, in some areas, after the death of the old man, you may hire many people to play the suona, but in some areas, when you get married, you will find many people to play the suona, so I personally think that this kind of thing should not just listen to what others say, but depends on your local actual customs. If young people don't know much about this, they can ask the old people at home.
