The haircut customs of the Han people, what are the customs of the Han people

Before the Qing Dynasty, Han men did not have the custom of cutting their hair and shaving their heads. "The Book of Filial Piety: The Opening of the Righteous Chapter" cloud: "The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also." ”

After Manchuria entered the customs, in order to maintain its own rule, forced the Han people to change their image, issued a "hair shaving order", and implemented the policy of "keeping hair without head", and the Han people began to shave their heads and cut their hair.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people were generally resistant to the "shaving order" to change their customs and image, so the custom of "not shaving their heads in the first lunar month--- thinking about the old" was formed around the day of the most solemn Spring Festival of the Han people, that is, around the day of ancestor worship.

With the stability of the Manchu regime and the success of the enslavement policy, shaving hair has become a status symbol of the Han people---.

The questioner's statement is correct, the original meaning is that because there is no face to face the ancestors after shaving, it is not appropriate to cut hair at the time when the ancestors need to be worshipped before the Spring Festival, such as Chinese New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year's Eve.

The second dragon in February raises its head, and it can only get a haircut on the second day of the second lunar month, indicating that the new year will be full of dragons and tigers! All the best!

We can't cut our hair between the beginning of spring and February 2 of the lunar calendar, and I don't know how it is in other places...

The customs of the Han people are as follows:

1. Shang agricultural business.

The 24 solar terms are an important part of the Han lunar calendar, and its formation and establishment are closely related to the agricultural production customs of the ancient working people of the Han nationality. As the climate changes throughout the year, so does the content of farming and farm work. The meaning of the names of the 24 solar terms itself clearly reflects this.

To this day, Han farmers are still accustomed to carrying out agricultural work and arranging farm work according to the solar terms.

2. Respect for ancestors and the elderly.

Respecting ancestors and respecting the elderly is the eternal legacy of the Han nationality. Ancestor worship is the worship of ancestors. And the worship of ancestral gods is an even more important tradition. The ancestor worship of the Han people is mainly to worship the distant ancestors who have made meritorious achievements and the close ancestors who are closely related by blood.

3. First and last name.

Originally, there was a difference between the surnames and surnames of the Han people. The original surname was the clan name of the matrilineal clan commune. The character "surname" is a combination of the words "female" and "sheng". Many ancient surnames have "female" next to them, such as Jiang, Yao, Ji, etc.

The clan is a branch of the surname, and due to the reproduction of descendants, the clan is divided into several branches and scattered all over the place, each of which has a special mark as a sign, which is the clan. Later, there was not much difference between the surname and the given name.

4. Architectural form.

Due to the vast distribution area of the Han nationality, its traditional housing has different styles depending on the region. The Han people living in the North China Plain have mostly brick and wood structure bungalows, and most of the courtyards are courtyard houses, represented by Beijing courtyard houses.

5. Culture and art.

The Han nationality has created a splendid culture and art in ancient times, with distinctive characteristics. Regardless of military, philosophy, economics, historiography, natural science, literature, art and other fields, there are many representative figures and works with far-reaching influence.
