Is it a festival or a solar term to raise the dragon's head?
Dragon Head Raising (the second day of the second lunar month), also known as Spring Farming Festival, Farming Festival, Qinglong Festival and Spring Dragon Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. "Dragon" refers to the astrology of the oriental black dragon in seven of the twenty-eight lodges. At the beginning of mid-spring every year, the "Dragon Horn Star" rises from the eastern horizon, so it is called "Dragon Head Up".
The black dragon's seven nights correspond to rainfall. The ancients believed that dragons were in charge of rainfall, which determined agricultural harvest, and agricultural harvest determined people's living standards. Dragon has become the most important "totem" in agricultural society. In farming culture, "the dragon looks up" means that the sun is shining, the rain is increasing and everything is full of vitality.
The festival custom of raising the dragon head:
In some areas in northern China, there are customs such as hoarding grain, attracting Tian Long, knocking on beams, having a haircut, frying and stewing, eating pig's head, eating noodles, eating jiaozi, eating candied beans, eating pancakes and avoiding needlework on February 2nd. For Naji, northerners take names related to "Dragon" on this day. Noodles are not called "noodles", but "Longxu Noodles".
Jiaozi is called "Dragon Ear" and "Dragon Horn"; The meal is called "dragon"; Pancakes are branded into scales, which are called "Longlin cakes"; Noodles cooked with wonton are called "Longnazhu"; Eating pig's head is called "food faucet"; Eating scallion cake is called "tearing dragon skin". Everything carries symbols and meanings related to dragons.
