On February 19, 2024, in the Basha Miao Village in Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, a unique and traditional haircutting method was captured on video.

This time-honored folk skill is an indispensable part of local life. Skilled elders adeptly wield a scythe, trimming a portion of a young child's hair with precision and fluidity.

The filmer Mr Ma added that this traditional cultural performance is usually only performed during the Chinese New Year. According to media reports, due to a lack of tools, people in this tribe used to shave their heads with a sickle, leaving the hair in the center in a bun, and this custom has been preserved until today.
