Diary of the Dragon's Head on February 2nd, Grade One

Today is the second day of the second lunar month. I heard firecrackers outside early in the morning, and it was as lively as Chinese New Year. I asked my father, "When is February 2nd? Why set off firecrackers? " Dad said, "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up." I still don't understand. In the evening, I searched Baidu for the origin of "The Dragon Rises on February 2":

According to folklore, every second day of the second lunar month is the day when the Dragon King, who is in charge of sex, looks up. After that, the rain will gradually increase. Therefore, in the north, February 2 is also called Dragon Head Up Day, also called Spring Dragon Festival. In the north of China, "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up; The big warehouse is full and the small warehouse flows. " Folk proverbs. It was called the picnic festival in the south and the vegetable picking festival in ancient times. China people have had the custom of "February 2nd" since the Tang Dynasty. According to records, the origin of this sentence is related to the understanding of star movement in ancient astronomy and agricultural solar terms.
