On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon looked up.
Why do you want to cut your hair on February 2 (what do you mean, the dragon looks up? According to folklore, every year, the second day of the second lunar month is the day when the competent dragon king in the sky looks up; After that, the rain will gradually increase. Therefore, this day is called "Spring Festival". It is widely circulated in northern China that "on February 2, the dragon looked up; The big warehouse is full and the small warehouse flows. " Folk proverbs.
Whenever the Spring Festival comes, in most parts of northern China, every family carries lanterns to fetch water from wells or rivers in the morning, and when they get home, they light a fire, burn incense and offer offerings. In ancient times, people called this ceremony "attracting dragons". On this day, every household will eat noodles, fried oil cakes and popcorn, which are compared with "picking the dragon's head", "eating gentian", "golden beans bloom, the dragon king ascends to heaven, the clouds are raining, and the grains are abundant" to show good luck.
This custom dates back to the Ming Dynasty. Shen Bang's "Miscellaneous Notes on Ten Thousand Parts" records: "Ten thousand people call the dragon to look up on February 2. The villagers used a euphemistic cloth to enter the kitchen from the outside and circled around the water tank, calling it Longgui. " Yu Yizheng and Dong Liu, Ming Dynasty's "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of the Imperial Capital", recorded during the Spring Festival: "On February 2, the dragon looked up, and on the first day of the New Year's Day, the leftover cakes were fried, and the bed kang was smoked, which was called attracting dragons, and the insects could not come out." The dragon has an extremely lofty position in the minds of China people. In ancient times, people thought that the dragon was a symbol of the son of heaven, an auspicious thing, and the master of weathering rain. So the proverb "On February 2nd, the dragon looks up" means that spring has come and everything is revived. The beginning of the dragon activity indicates that a year's farming activities are about to begin.
On February 2nd, the dragon looked up. According to the agricultural proverb "On February 2nd, the dragon looks up", it is said that it didn't rain for a long time in Guanzhong area in ancient times, and the Jade Emperor ordered the East China Sea dragon to sow rain. Xiaolong is playful and dives into the river and never comes out again. A young man went to the cliff to collect "dragon water" to muddy the river. Xiaolong emerged from the river to compete with the young man. Xiaolong was defeated and had to sow rain. In fact, the so-called "dragon heads up" means that after hibernation, all insects begin to wake up. So as the saying goes, "On February 2nd, dragons looked up and scorpions and centipedes appeared."
There is also a saying "February 2nd" called Spring Dragon Festival. Xu Shen's "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" records: "The dragon, the length in the scale, can be quiet and bright, thin and huge, long and short, reaching the sky in the vernal equinox and diving in the autumn equinox." This may be the earliest record of the custom of the Spring Festival.
According to legend, when Wu Zetian was emperor, the Jade Emperor ordered that it should not rain on the ground for three years. However, Yulong, who is in charge of Tianhe, couldn't bear the people to suffer from disaster and starvation, and a heavy rain came secretly. When the Jade Emperor learned about it, he buried the Jade Dragon in charge of Tianhe under a mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a monument stands, which reads: The rain of the Dragon King violated heaven and should be punished by the world for generations. If you want to go back to Lingxiao Pavilion, unless the golden beans bloom.
In order to save the Dragon King, people searched everywhere for golden beans in full bloom. On the second day of February of the following year, people were drying golden corn seeds, and it suddenly occurred to them that this kind of corn was like golden beans, which had blossomed after being fried. Isn't it the golden bean that blooms? So every household popped popcorn, put on record and burned incense in the yard, offering "flowering golden beans" to the Dragon King and the Jade Emperor. Knowing that the people were saving it, the Dragon King shouted to the Jade Emperor, "Golden beans are blooming, let me out!" As soon as the Jade Emperor saw that the golden beans in the yard of every household in the world were in full bloom, he would send a message to the Dragon King, asking him to return to heaven and continue to give sex to the world.
Since then, people have formed a habit. On February 2nd every year, people pop popcorn and some fried beans. Adults and children still read: "On February 2, the dragon looked up, the big warehouse was full, and the small warehouse flowed." In some places, kitchen waste ash is scattered in the yard to form a big circle, and whole grains are put in the middle, which is called "hoarding" or "filling the warehouse". It means to wish the grain a bumper harvest and a full warehouse. During festivals, the names of foods in various places are generally labeled as "dragons". Eating jiaozi is called eating "dragon ears"; Eating spring cakes is called eating "Longlin"; Eating noodles is called eating "dragon beard meat"; Eating rice is called eating "dragon son"; Eating wonton is called eating "longan"
There are many other customs on this day. Read "February 2nd, the dragon looks up, the dragon doesn't look up, I look up." After getting up, you should light a lantern on the beam, and read "Scorpion and centipede have nowhere to hide" according to the beam on February 2. In some places, women don't move a needle and thread for fear of hurting dzi; Some places don't wash clothes for fear of hurting the dragon skin, and so on.

What are the customs of raising the dragon's head on February 2? What are the common customs? On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, there is a proverb in China, "On the second day of February, the dragon looks up", which indicates that spring is coming, everything is reviving, and the dragon is stung, which indicates that a year's farming activities are about to begin. In the north, February 2 is also called Dragon Head-Up Day, also known as Spring Festival. It was called the picnic festival in the south and the vegetable picking festival in ancient times. China people have had the custom of "February 2nd" since the Tang Dynasty. According to records, the origin of this sentence is related to the understanding of star movement in ancient astronomy and agricultural solar terms.
People in China think that dragons are auspicious things, in charge of sex and rain, and the second day of the second lunar month is the day when dragons will ascend to heaven. In terms of solar terms, the first day of the second lunar month is between "rain", "fright" and "vernal equinox", and many places in China have begun to enter the rainy season. This is a natural law, but the ancients thought it was the contribution of the "dragon". In addition, the dragon has a very high status in the minds of China people, and it is not only regarded as an auspicious thing, but also regarded as the master of wind and rain. Therefore, there is a saying that "on February 2, the dragon looks up."
In fact, the so-called "dragon heads up" means that after hibernation, all insects begin to wake up. There is a folk saying that "on February 2nd, dragons look up and scorpions and centipedes all come out".
"On February 2nd, the dragon looked up" was also explained in ancient astronomy, but it was often ignored. In ancient China, twenty-eight nights were used to indicate the positions of the sun, moon and stars in the sky and to judge the seasons. In the twenty-eight lodging houses, the horn, sound, rafter, room, heart, tail and dustpan constitute a complete dragon constellation, among which the horn is like the dragon's horn. After the spring breeze in February every year, "Dragon Horn Star" will appear from the eastern horizon at dusk. At this time, the whole body of the black dragon is still hidden below the horizon, and only the horns are exposed, so it is called "the dragon looks up".
While the dragon looks up at the sky, spring slowly comes to the world. On this festival, the earth turns green and spring ploughing begins from south to north. Therefore, February 2, also known as "Spring Farming Festival", "Farming Festival" and "Spring Dragon Festival", is a traditional folk festival of Han nationality.
As an auspicious and festive day, in order to get lucky, on February 2nd, most folk foods are named after dragons. For example, eating jiaozi is called "eating dragon ears", eating rice is called "eating dragon seeds", eating wonton is called "eating longan", eating noodles is called "holding Longxu Noodles", and steamed cakes are also made in the shape of Long Lin on the surface, called "Longlin cake". These customs have placed people's good wishes for dragon blessing, good weather and good harvests.
So, why not "February 1st" or "February 3rd"? This is related to our love of even numbers in folk customs.
In ancient China, especially before the Qin and Han Dynasties, all the "heavy days" such as January 1st, February 2nd and March 3rd were regarded as the days when heaven and earth were connected with each other. Therefore, on such days, people need to do more prayers, sacrifices or commemorative activities to achieve happiness, well-being and good luck.
Astronomical experts analyze "February 2, the dragon looks up"
"On February 2nd, the dragon looks up" symbolizes the return of spring to the earth and the revival of everything. So, where is the dragon? How does it "look up"? Astronomical experts explained this.
Zhao Zhi Heng, director of Tianjin Astronomical Society, said that unlike ancient western astronomy, China divided the stars into seven star zones: Three Walls and Four Elephants.
The so-called "wall" is the "city wall". "Three Walls" is the "Wei Zi Wall", symbolizing the palace; "Taiweiyuan" symbolizes the administrative organization; The "sky wall" symbolizes the bustling market. These three walls are arranged in a triangle around Polaris. There are four elephants around the "Three Walls": East Black Dragon, West White Tiger, South Suzaku and North Xuanwu. That is to say, the stars in the east are like dragons, the stars in the west are like tigers, the stars in the south are like big birds, and the stars in the north are like turtles and snakes. As the earth revolves around the sun, the stars in the sky change with the seasons. Every evening at the turn of winter and spring, the black dragon appears; At the turn of spring and summer, Xuanwu rose; At the turn of summer and autumn, white tigers emerge; At the turn of autumn and winter, Suzaku rises.
There are two stars on the "arcturus" of the black faucet: arcturus I and arcturus II, which respectively represent the two horns on the pale faucet. The four stars behind Jiao Su are Kang Su, which is the throat of the dragon. There are four stars under the throat arranged in the dustpan, showing the shape of "Jue Su", representing the dragon claw. The room, heart, tail and skip behind the dragon's paw represent the dragon's heart and tail respectively.
