The origin of February 2?

According to legend, the Dragon Head-lifting Festival originated in Fuxi era, and Fuxi "emphasized agriculture, mulberry and ploughing fields". Every year on the second day of the second lunar month, "Huang Niang delivers meals and cultivates the fields with royal horses", and takes care of one acre and three points. Later, the Yellow Emperor, Tang Yao, Yu Shun and Yu Xia all followed the example of their predecessors.

For Zhou Wuwang, we have not only followed this traditional practice, but also implemented it as an important national policy. Every year, on the second day of the second lunar month, a major ceremony is held to let all civil and military officials personally plow an acre of land. It is said that this is the origin of the Dragon Head Festival.

Extended information: On February 2nd, I want to eat a pig's head. In ancient times, pig's head was a sacrifice to ancestors and heaven. In normal times, pigs can't eat casually. The average farmer worked hard for one year and slaughtered pigs and sheep in the twelfth lunar month of the third year.

From this day on, we began to improve food. Every day, we should see some meat in our food. On New Year's Eve, the whole family has a family reunion dinner, with jiaozi on the first day, jiaozi on the fifth day and Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month. After the first month, the new year, and the festival, all the pork killed in the twelfth month was basically eaten. In the end, there is only one pig head left, which can only be eaten until February 2.

The Dragon King is in charge of rainfall, so farmers should offer the best sacrifices to the Dragon King.
