February 2, the origin of the dragon's rise.

1, the first origin is folk rumors, the old farmer said that the second day of the second lunar month is the day when the head of the dragon king in the sky rises, and the rain will gradually increase from then on. 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." Therefore, this day is also called "Spring Festival".

2. "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up" was also explained in ancient astronomy. Experts say that in ancient China, twenty-eight nights were used to indicate the positions of the sun, the moon and the 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, the "Dragon Horn Star" appeared from the eastern horizon at dusk, so it was called "Dragon Head Up".
