The Dragon Raising its Head on the Second Day of the Second Month is an important traditional festival in my country. For married women, this day is a day to avoid suspicion. Customs seem to forbid them from returning to their parents' home. What is the reason behind this? Let’s learn more about it. The second month of the lunar calendar has 29 days and is the month of spring. Shuimoxiansheng.com's special topic for the second month of the lunar calendar in 2020 will help you explore the auspicious and inauspicious days in the second month of the lunar calendar!When is the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2, 2020?Lunar calendar: February 2, 2020 Gregorian calendar: Monday, February 24, 2020 PiscesCan I go back to my parents’ home on the second day of the second lunar month when the Dragon Raises its Head?It is possible to go back to your parents’ home on the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raises its head.Reason: On February 2, every family brings their daughters back from the old days. The bride does not return home and the daughter-in-law does not leave her parents' home in the first month of the lunar year. There is also a superstitious belief that "a married girl cannot look at the lights in her parents' home in the first month of the lunar year, because if she looks at the lights in her parents' home, her father-in-law will die." Therefore, married daughters are not allowed to return to their parents' home in the first month of the lunar year. For more than a month, the daughter missed her mother and the mother missed her daughter, so when February 2nd came, not only was the first month of the year over, but it was also an auspicious day. You are not allowed to go back to your parents’ home on the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raises its head. Reason: Mainly because in ancient times, after a newly married bride, she could not live in her parents' home until the second day of the second lunar month, and the husband's family spread this saying in order to let the young bride return to her husband's home as soon as possible. Later on, if the young daughter-in-law has been living in her parents' home, her husband's family will take her back home on the first day of the second lunar month. According to the customs of the old society, a newly married daughter-in-law had to serve her parents-in-law and husband at her husband's home before and after the New Year. After the 16th day of the first lunar month, she could temporarily return to her parents' home as a rest day, but she could only stay until the end of the first lunar month and had to go home after the first lunar month. Because after February 2nd it is the time for spring plowing, and people have to go to the fields to work. Summary: Both statements have certain basis. In modern times, people are no longer so taboo about returning to their parents' home. If they have time, they can still go home often. Other taboos on the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2Taboo 1: Women are not allowed to give birth in their parents’ home <br /> In the ancient times, under the social ideology of favoring sons over daughters, the ancients believed that a daughter who was married off was like spilled water, and was equivalent to the man’s person. When a woman gives birth, she will definitely bleed, and some lochia will be discharged from the body after delivery, so it was considered a very dirty thing by the ancients. For a woman to give birth at her parents' home is equivalent to bringing bad luck home, while the day of the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2 is equivalent to bringing good luck home, which is in conflict with the other day, so women are not allowed to give birth at their parents' home.Taboo 2: No needles, thread or scissors <br /> In ancient China, the dragon was regarded as a sacred symbol by the ancients. Therefore, there are more taboos on the day of "Dragon Title" to avoid harming the Canglong and affecting the luck for the whole year. Women are forbidden to use needles, thread, or scissors on this day, because the Azure Dragon will raise its head to look at the world on this day, and using anything with a needle or a sharp blade may hurt the dragon's eyes. When women get up, they usually say, "On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head. If the dragon doesn't raise its head, I do." Taboo 3: Avoid saying "being jealous", and instead say "using taboos" In the dialects of the Central Plains provinces of my country, "eating jealousy" is seen as having the meaning of "envy". On the second day of the second lunar month, because the festival itself is a festive occasion, people at that time were afraid that petty-mindedness would affect good luck, so they called "taboo" "vinegar", and using taboo means being jealous.
