There is a folk custom that one should not get a haircut in the first month of the lunar year.

It is said that shaving one's head on this day can make one healthy, soar freely in the air like a dragon, and will be successful in the future. Lighting the beams As the saying goes, "On the second day of the second month, shine on the beams of the house, and scorpions and centipedes have nowhere to hide." On the second day of the second month in the lunar calendar, the weather gradually turns warmer. According to traditional folk customs, people pay attention to cleaning the house and expelling pests on this day, hence the saying "On the second day of the second month, fumigate the insects." The practice is to light the candles left over from the New Year's sacrifice on the second day of the second lunar month and shine them on the beams and walls to drive away scorpions, centipedes and other insects. Insects that are about to revive will automatically fall off when illuminated by the candle light and can be driven away, thus achieving the purpose of eliminating disasters, preventing diseases and ensuring health. What does the dragon raising its head mean?It symbolizes growth and good luck.The "Preface to the Spring and Autumn Annals" said: "When the heaven and the earth were opened up, all things were in a state of confusion, without knowledge or awareness; based on yin and yang, the celestial bodies began in the North Pole... The sun, the moon, and the five latitudes all rise from Altair; forty-five thousand years, the sun, the moon, and the five latitudes rotate once; the Emperor of Heaven appears... He determines the phenomena of the sky, follows the rituals of the earth, and creates the stems and branches to determine the degrees of the sun and the moon." As early as in ancient times, the ancients were able to "observe the phenomena and tell the time", determine the phenomena of the sky, follow the rituals of the earth, and determine the stars, celestial phenomena, the stems and branches, and the 24 solar terms. The dictionary "Er Ya" says: The number starts from Jiao Kang, the leader of the constellations. Therefore, when horns are seen in the east, things change and spring comes, birds and beasts grow horns, and the shells of plants and trees crack. It means that in the spring when all things come back to life, the constellation of the Eastern Blue Dragon will rise from the east every evening.
