Is the dragon's head raised in the lunar calendar or the second day of February in the solar calendar?

On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon looks up.

In February, the dragon looks up and refers to the seven-night astrology of the eastern black dragon on the 28th night. At the beginning of mid-spring every year, the "Dragon Horn Star" rises from the eastern horizon, so it is called "Dragon Head Up". The five elements of "Mao" belong to wood, and the hexagram is "earthquake"; In "92", it means that the dragon has escaped from the latent state and has appeared on the surface of the earth, emerging as a budding elephant.

"On February 2nd, the dragon looks up" is an important folk festival in the northwest of China. Judging from various folklore and festival customs, its appearance has a lot to do with the activities of praying for rain in ancient northwest China and the emperor's "farming" activities to persuade farmers.

"The dragon looks up" can be traced back to before the Zhou Dynasty. Due to the lack of rain in the northwest of China in spring, agricultural production was hindered, so the Lebanese people imagined an inhuman god to help keep out the rain, and this god was named "Dragon".

Primitive beliefs:

Dragon is a magical creature, and ancient people in China and other East Asian regions thought it lived in the sea. It is the master of clouds and rain, and the master of weathering rain. It is often used to symbolize good luck. It comes from the worship of natural phenomena and is related to the understanding of stars in ancient astronomy and farming culture.

In farming culture, "the dragon looks up" means the sun is shining and the rain is increasing. As the position of the black dragon rises in the sky for seven nights, there will be more rain. When the black dragon rises completely in seven nights, that is, when the rainy season gradually increases.

It is precisely because the position of the Black Dragon for seven nights corresponds to rainfall that people think that the Dragon is in charge of rainfall, which in turn determines the harvest of crops, and the harvest of crops determines people's living standards. Dragon has become the most important "totem" in farming society.
