Guan Gong sharpened his knife to kill the dragon.

According to legend, a dragon was jealous of people in the world offering sacrifices to Guan Gong, so he took a deep breath, drained all the rivers and lakes in the world and injected them into the East China Sea. As a result, the crops on the people's fertile land suffered, and the people were unhappy. Seeing this, Zhou Cang and Guan Ping went to surrender the dragon, but they were defeated because they were not as good as others, so they rode a pony to find Guan Gong.

When Guan Gong heard about it, he invited the Jade Emperor and decided to slay the dragon with a knife on the sixth day of the fifth lunar month. On this day, he began to sharpen his own dragon crescent moon blade. Guan Gong sharpened his knife at the worse gate, and the water from sharpening fell on people, forming rain.

A drop of water from the worse gate falls on the ground, which can be said to be a downpour. Just like the legendary "one day in the sky, one year on the ground". Guan Gong sharpened his knife, so he cut the dragon angrily, and then there was plenty of rain on the earth.
