What do you mean by raising your head and cutting your hair?

The benefits of raising your head and cutting your hair are as follows:

1, the dragon looks up for a haircut, which means good luck.

It is generally believed that shaving one's head on this day will bring good luck. Therefore, the folk proverb says, "Blowing the tap on February 2nd will make you feel refreshed all year round." On February 2, every barber shop was full of customers and the business was booming.

2, the dragon looks up and has a good luck.

In February, the dragon looked up and everyone shaved his head. In the old days, there was a saying in Huai 'an that "people have money but no money, so they shave their heads for the New Year". Before the Spring Festival, there is still more than a month before February, and the dragon looks up, which is an auspicious day. After a long time, the custom of shaving your head on February 2 was formed.

On February 2, the dragon looked up, which is why every child shaved his head. In order to get lucky, the word "dragon" is added in the middle of the haircut, which is called "dragon head shaving" to distinguish it from shaving at other times. Some girls also choose this day to get their ears pierced.

Other customs of the dragon looking up:

1, mining dragon gas.

Shi Mao in the morning (between 5: 00 and 7: 00), this is Shi Mao in Uzuki. When you go out, take six deep breaths facing the east, and meditate that a mass of green gas falls from Baihui point on the top of your head to Dantian, full of viscera, and the whole mass of green gas wraps the whole body, and then walk 100 steps to the east.

2. Eat dragon food.

On February 2 nd, the dragon looks up, so it is natural to eat some traditional food related to the dragon, which means an auspicious meal and makes a good start for the new year. There is also a certain emphasis on diet, because people believe that Rowen has great wealth, so the diet on this day is mostly in the name of dragons. Eating spring cakes, eating dragon forests, eating noodles and eating rice are all eating dragons.

Eating wonton means eating longan, and eating jiaozi means eating dragon ears. Cooking noodles and wonton together is called taking dragon balls, eating pig heads is called eating dragon heads, and eating scallion cakes is called tearing dragon skins. On the second day of the second lunar month, there is also the habit of "the dragon looks up and eats the pig's head".

3. Turn on the dragon lantern.

In the Yellow River Delta and some areas along the Yangtze River, there is also the custom of "putting dragon lanterns". Many people tie boats with reeds or stalks, insert candles or put small oil bowls dug with radishes, and light them in rivers or bays at night to light the way for dragons and convey a good wish.
