Why do many Chinese people refuse to cut their hair during the first month of the lunar year?
This is because people in China believe that getting a haircut during the first lunar month will cause their mothers' brothers to die. Although it's not true, some people still believe it. So, after waiting for a month, people usually can't wait to cut their hair on Dragon Head-raising Day —the second day of the second lunar month. It is common to see people line up outside barbershops(理发店) on the day.
Dragon Head-raising Day is an important traditional Chinese festival. Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall would increase because the rain-bringing Dragon King would wake up from his winter sleep. So that day is the start of spring and farming.
A well-known saying goes, "On the second day of the second-lunar month, the dragon lifts his head."
Besides cutting their hair, people do other things to celebrate this festival. For example, they eat food with "dragon names". People call noodles the dragon's bear d (龙须). Dumplings are the dragon's ears and spring rolls (春卷) are the dragon's scales(龙鳞).
