You are welcome to check it out!When is the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2, 2018?The second day of the second month of the lunar year 2018 (lunar calendar)March 18, 2018, Pisces (Sunday) The legend of the dragon raising its head?Legend has it that King Yao's father, Emperor Ku (Emperor Jun), had four queens: Jiang Yuan (jiāng yuán), Jian Di (jiǎn dí), Qingdu and Chang Yi. Originally, Chang Yi had the lowest status, but since she gave birth to a son, everyone looked at her differently. Qingdu has always been worried about not having a son. Someone told her that praying for a child at the Goddess Temple is very effective, and as long as you are sincere, there is nothing you can't achieve. Qingdu did as the witch said. After dinner on the Lantern Festival, he went to the temple to place offerings, then kowtowed three times respectfully, put his hands together, and prayed to the gods to give him a child. One year there was a severe drought and the people lived in hardship. There was a red dragon in the sky. When he saw the miserable conditions of the people on earth, he felt pity and secretly made it rain. When the Jade Emperor found out about this, he suppressed the red dragon under a mountain. The people pleaded for the Red Dragon, and the Jade Emperor said, "Unless the golden beans bloom." On the second day of the second month, an old lady came from nowhere and kept shouting, "Golden beans for sale!" People were very puzzled, and when they bought some home, they found that they were actually yellow beans. When these soybeans were fried in the pan, they crackled and bloomed. When the Jade Emperor found out, he had no choice but to release the red dragon and banish him to the mortal world.After Qingdu prayed for a child from the Goddess Temple, he looked forward to good news every day. One night, she dreamed of a red dragon following her, and from then on, she became pregnant. On the second day of the second month of the following year, there were lightning and thunder, and then the sun shone brightly. A golden light shone in the yard, and a child was born. He was named Fangxun, who later became King Yao. Fangxun was smart and clever, and had been loved since childhood. After he grew up and became an emperor, he would farm with the people on the second day of the second lunar month every year. The custom of emperors tilling the fields was thus passed down. During the Chinese New Year, the woodblock New Year picture sold at the market, "The Emperor Riding the Golden Bull", originated from this. What to do on February 2nd?On the second day of the second month , women get up at dawn and draw various circles with saltpeter in the yard and on the flat ground outside the gate, and then draw a cross inside the circle. At around eight o'clock, they unbutton the children's front lapels and bellybands and let the children lie down in the middle of the cross with their stomachs touching the ground to seal the spleen. The children's mothers pray next to the circle: "Seal the spleen in the cross, and the dragon will coil in the circle. It will take away the disease in the stomach and you will never have stomach pain again." Not everyone knows this prayer. The common prayer of women is: "Lord Dragon and Snake Fairy, please protect my child and prevent him from getting a big belly and water-logging disease. Please ask the Dragon King and Snake Fairy to walk along the circle drawn by the saltpeter dragon. Walk a few times and the food accumulation in the child will be taken away and eliminated."People don’t shave their heads in the first month of the year. Most people wait until the second day of the second month to do so, which is called “shaving the dragon’s head”. In the old days, there was a saying among the people: people had to shave their heads before New Year’s Eve because shaving was not allowed in the first month of the lunar year. Why? It is said that "if you get a haircut in the first month of the lunar year, your uncle will die." Since it concerns the lives of your mother's family, it is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly. Therefore, in Beijing, the barber shop business is very slow during the first month of the year. Everyone is looking forward to the day of "February 2, the Dragon Raises its Head".
