The origin of the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2:

The Dragon Raising its Head is a reflection of the ancient Chinese farming culture on the festival seasons. Its origin is related to the ancient astronomy’s understanding of the movement of stars and agricultural solar terms. The mythological work "Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that Yinglong lives in the south, "so there is a lot of rain in the south", and Zhulong "does not eat, sleep or rest, and wind and rain are his enemies", which means he often brings wind and rain. Since the dragon was imagined to be able to fly in the clouds, people believed that the dragon could bring good luck to people and that when it came to the world it could transform into an emperor, so the emperor was called the true dragon emperor. People in the Tang Dynasty regarded the second day of the second lunar month as a special day, saying that it was a day to "welcome wealth and honor." On this day, people would eat "fruits to welcome wealth and honor," which means eating some snack foods. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a royal banquet called "Picking Vegetables" in the palace on the second day of the second month. However, these "February 2" activities during the Tang and Song dynasties were not associated with "Dragon Raising its Head". During the Yuan Dynasty, February 2 was clearly defined as the day when the dragon raises its head. On this day, people like to eat noodles, which are called "dragon beard noodles"; they also eat pancakes, which are called "dragon scales"; if they make dumplings, they are called "dragon teeth". In short, they are all named after parts of the dragon's body. After the Yuan Dynasty, there were more records of various folk activities related to "February 2nd Dragon Raising its Head". People also call this day the Dragon Head Festival, Spring Dragon Festival or Green Dragon Festival. In the late Qing Dynasty, not only did people eat cakes and noodles, but women were also not allowed to do needlework for fear of hurting the dragon's eyes. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, activities such as "fumigating insects" and "frying beans" have been added to the February 2nd day of the lunar calendar. The Dragon Raising its Head festival on February 2, as an ancient folk festival, has now basically faded out of the modern life of the Chinese people. However, some cultural connotations of "February 2nd Dragon Raising its Head", such as the ancient people's worship of dragons and the materialistic explanation of "Dragon Raising its Head" in ancient astronomy, are still worth studying.
