The origin of the Dragon Raising its Head!

During the reign of King Wu of Zhou, a grand ceremony was held on the second day of the second month every year, calling on all civil and military officials to personally plough the land. February 2 is the Dragon Head Festival, which was said to have been the "Flower Festival" in the Song Dynasty, and this day was designated as the birthday of all flowers. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was called "Tasting Festival", and people went out for outings and picnics on this day. Some people pick some pampas leaves (a kind of flower leaves growing on the ground) along the way when they go home from an outing and take them back to worship in front of their door. This custom is a metaphor for "welcoming wealth".
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this day was called the "Dragon Raising its Head" day because the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar falls around the "Qingzhe" solar term. Many animals, such as snakes, earthworms, frogs, etc., enter a hibernation state without eating, drinking or moving in winter. This is called "hibernation". Around February 2, the weather gradually warms up, and some insects and animals seem to be awakened from their sleep by the spring sunshine and thunder, so this festival is named "Qingzhe". The big dragon in the folk legend does not actually exist. That kind of dragon was imagined by our ancestors based on snakes, earthworms, etc. Around the second day of February, spring returns to the earth. People hope that the dragon will come out to suppress all harmful poisonous insects and hope for a good harvest. This is the saying "On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head."
