So let’s take a look at what are the taboos in eating on February 2, the day of Dragon Raising its Head? What will you eat today?What are the taboos to eat on February 2nd, the day when the dragon raises its head?1. People do not eat noodles on February 2 because noodles are long and thin, like dragon whiskers. In Beijing, Henan and other places, people are forbidden to eat noodles on the second day of the second lunar month. It is said that eating noodles is like eating dragon's whiskers, which will offend the Dragon King and cause floods that year.2. You cannot drink porridge or eat rice. People believe that porridge is dragon's blood and rice is dragon's son. In Wucheng area, people are forbidden to go out before the sun rises, otherwise they will "kick the top of the granary" and destroy the hope of a good harvest for the year. What will you eat today?Eat spring pancakes on the second day of the second lunar monthBeijing folk food, a kind of very thin pancake, also known as pancake. Every year on the beginning of spring, Beijingers eat spring pancakes, which are called "Yaochun". On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, Beijingers also eat spring rolls, which is called "eating dragon scales". Spring rolls are larger than the pancakes used for roast duck, and are tougher (Beijingers call this "bone-standing strength") because they are made to wrap a lot of vegetables. In the past, when eating spring rolls, people would go to a box shop and order "Su Pan" (also known as box dish). When eating spring rolls, the whole family sits together, puts the baked spring rolls in the steamer, and takes them out as they eat, so that they can eat them while they are hot. If spring pancakes are eaten on the second day of the second lunar month, Beijingers also pay attention to bringing married girls back home. Dragon Head Raising Pancake Get up early and eat pancakes, dumplings, fried pork slices and fried fish in the afternoon: On the second day of the second month, fry fish and meat, which is called "fumigation of insects". Because February 2nd is around the time of Waking of Insects, when insects become active and diseases are prone to occur, people hope to use the fragrance to wake up the legendary dragon, subdue the poisonous insects, and eat pig heads. Eat Qizi beans on the second day of the second lunar month In Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, it is common for the grandmother (uncle) to give popcorn and steamed buns to the nephew (daughter) on this day. My mother would fry the beans the day before and prepare them for the family. Qizi beans are made by mixing oil, water and flour, then cut into small cubes and fried in oil. In some places, peanuts and beans are fried together. On February 2, the Dragon Raises its Head, people eat fried dough twist, pork head and dumplings If you want to eat that kind of noodles, people in Shijiazhuang call it salty food, which is a mixture of the aroma of eggs and flour; there are also those called vegetable pancakes, which are made by digging out radishes stored in the cellar for a winter, cutting them into shreds and mixing them with flour, and then making pancakes with mashed garlic and vinegar. Many people are not used to it, but the custom has been passed down for so many years and can still be passed on. Dragon Raising its Head Blessings1.
