Customs of February 2

Fumigation of Insects As the second month of the lunar calendar approaches, the weather gradually becomes warmer and various insects begin to move around. Some insects are harmful to human health, so on the second day of the second month, people make pancakes and burn incense, hoping to use the smoke to drive away poisonous insects.
The custom of scattering ashes has a long history and is still popular in many rural areas today. The ash used for spreading ash is generally wood ash, but some people also use lime or rice bran. The specific practices vary from place to place, but generally speaking: scattering ashes in front of the door is called "blocking the door to ward off disasters"; scattering ashes in the corners is meant to "ward off insects"; scattering ashes in the yard to make circles of varying sizes, and symbolically placing some grains, called "enclosing the granary" or "making ash storage", to pray for a good harvest; scattering ashes beside the well is called "attracting the dragon back", in order to pray for good weather and good harvests. The way of spreading the gray line varies from place to place. Generally, it starts from the well, spreads all the way to the kitchen, and surrounds the water tank. The gray line is winding and continuous, which is quite interesting.
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".
