The implication of the dragon looking up to eat popcorn

Pray for good weather and abundant crops in the new year, so people will prepare sacrifices for the gods when the dragon looks up.

February 2nd is a traditional folk festival. People will prepare some popcorn, because it tastes crispy and is made of corn, which is a relatively healthy food. After the popcorn sacrifice, people will finish it. This custom has been handed down and it is also a wish for a better life.

It is said that on February 2, two stars similar to the dragon horn will appear from the eastern horizon, just like a dragon looking up. People believe that dragons are auspicious things, in charge of sex and rain, and the second day of the second lunar month is the day when dragons will ascend to heaven. In terms of solar terms, the first day of the second lunar month is between "rain", "fright" and "vernal equinox", and many places in China have begun to enter the rainy season. Therefore, people think that February is the time when the dragon will raise its head, which means that the dragon will also act and perform the duties of rainfall.
