What are the customs of the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2?1. Shaving the Dragon's Head <br /> The second day of the second lunar month is the day when the hibernating dragon ascends to heaven. People believe that shaving one's head on this day will bring good luck and fortune. A haircut for children is called a "happy head" and it takes advantage of the auspicious time when the dragon raises its head to bless the children to grow up healthily and become successful when they grow up; a haircut for adults means bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, hoping to bring good omens and good luck.2. Eat dragon food <br /> There are certain dietary requirements on this day, and most of the food on this day is named after dragons. Eating spring pancakes is called "eating dragon scales", eating noodles is called "holding dragon whiskers", eating rice is called "eating dragon seeds", eating wontons is called "eating dragon eyes", eating dumplings is called "eating dragon ears", cooking noodles and wontons together is called "dragon holding beads", eating pig heads is called "eating dragon heads", and eating scallion pancakes is called "tearing dragon skin". There is also a custom of "eating pig heads when the dragon raises its head" on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar. People are buying pig heads in hopes of a good omen for the new year. 3. Release Dragon Lanterns <br /> The Yellow River Delta and some riverside areas still have the custom of "releasing dragon lanterns". Many families made small boats out of reeds or sorghum stalks, inserted candles or placed small oil bowls made from radishes on them, and then put them in the river or bay at dusk and lit them to light the way for the dragon. This is a way to entertain and convey good wishes at the same time. 4. Surrounding the granary <br /> On the morning of the second day of the second lunar month, villagers in many northern regions get up early. Housewives take a basket of ash from under their stoves, scoop some ash with a small iron shovel, and draw circles on the ground with their hands. The circle of the enclosure is big inside the small, and the odd numbers are surrounded instead of the even numbers. After the granary is enclosed, the family’s grain is reverently placed in the middle of the granary and intentionally scattered around the outside of the granary, symbolizing a good harvest that year. Fortunes in life can be good or bad, and calculating the direction of your fortunes in advance can help you plan ahead and make your life smoother and brighter.
