What is the origin of Women's Day?In 1869, John Stuart Mill was the first to speak in Congress and argue that women should have the right to vote.On September 13, 1893, New Zealand became the first country in the world where women were given the right to vote. On March 8, 1908, 15,000 women took to the streets of New York City to march for higher wages, shorter working hours, and the right to vote. On March 8, 1909, the Chicago Women's Workers' Union held a demonstration demanding equal rights for men and women. At the Second International Socialist Women's Conference held in Copenhagen, Denmark in August 1910, it was decided to designate March 8 of each year as Women's Day in order to promote the unity and liberation of international working women. Also known as International Women's Day. What day is the Dragon Raising its Head?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. [5]The Song Dynasty court also held special activities on this day. 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. 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. 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. |
