Shaving hair on February 2nd has spread for more than 300 years today. Since the Qing army entered Shanhaiguan in 1644, officials have required all men to keep the head of the sand pot, with no hair around, a lock in the middle and a braid.

Han people are not like this. Before the Ming Dynasty, children under the age of 18 could have their hair cut. Generally, when they had a haircut, they all shaved their heads, and nothing grew. When they were over the age of 18 and wore a hat, they would never be able to cut their hair, and they would never be able to cut it until they died, because they were skinned and affected by their parents.

Therefore, men of the Han nationality should keep all their hair on their heads, which is also braided and coiled up. Therefore, Han men don't have haircuts, but after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they were forced to have haircuts, so the people had such an appointment that no one would have a haircut in the first month, and their uncles would die in the first month. In fact, it is "thinking about the old", so it is called "shaving your head in the first month and thinking about the old". Later, the people called it "dead uncle".

People generally believe that shaving your head on this day will make people lucky strike and lucky. Therefore, the folk proverb says, "Shaving your head on February 2nd will make you feel refreshed all year".
