Around the second day of the second lunar month is one of the 24 solar terms. After hibernation, on this day, the dragon was awakened by the rumbling spring thunder and stood up. Therefore, the ancients called the second day of the second lunar month the Spring Festival, also known as the Dragon Head Festival or the Qinglong Festival. On this day, people go to the river to worship the dragon god.
Dragon is a totem believed by the Chinese nation since ancient times, and all descendants of the Chinese people are descendants of the dragon. For thousands of years, people have regarded dragons as mysterious mascots. February 2nd is the day when dragons raise their heads, which naturally becomes an important folk festival, and many customs are also related to dragons.
In fact, on February 2, the dragon looked up and said that it was related to ancient astronomy. 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 lodgings, the horn, sound, fork, room, heart, tail and dustpan form a complete dragon constellation, and the horn is like the horn of the dragon. After the spring breeze in February, the dragon horn star appeared from the eastern horizon at dusk, so it was called the dragon to look up.
