Why did you shave your head on February 2nd?

February 2, commonly known as the dragon looks up, means to shave his head on this day. Children get a haircut, which is called "Xitou". When the dragon looks up, it will bless the children to grow up healthily and get ahead when they grow up. Adults get haircuts, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, hoping to bring good luck and a smooth new year.

Dragon Head Up (the second day of the second lunar month), also known as Spring Farming Festival, Farming Festival and Spring Dragon Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. Every year on the second day of the second lunar month, it is said that dragons look up, which is a traditional festival in China. Celebrate the "Dragon Head Festival" to show respect for dragons and pray for rain, and let God bless the harvest. On February 2nd, the dragon looked up. In ancient astronomy, China used 28 nights to indicate the positions of the sun, the moon and the stars in the sky and to judge the seasons. After the spring breeze in February, the "Dragon Horn Star" appeared on the eastern horizon at dusk, so it was called "Dragon Head Up".

Extended data:

The third day of the second lunar month is Wenchang's birthday. In the past, children were asked to write, which was a good sign for dragons to look up. They wore clothes and lit cinnabar to gain enlightenment and wisdom, which meant that their eyes were bright and their hearts were bright. They hoped their children could read when they grew up. The opening ceremony is the first gift of life, and it is the form of children's literacy enlightenment education in China tradition.
