Why do you have to cut your hair on February 2nd?

On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon heads up, which is a traditional folk festival in China, also called "Dragon Head-raising Festival". On this day, people of all ages, men and women, go to the barber shop to get their hair cut.

On February 2nd, the dragon looked up and everyone shaved his head. In the old days, there was a saying in Huai 'an that "people who have money but no money shave their heads for the New Year". It's more than a month before the Spring Festival, so it's time for a haircut. On February 2nd, the dragon looked up, which was an auspicious day. After a long time, the custom of shaving on February 2 was formed. "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up and every child shaved his head". For good luck, the word "dragon" was added in the middle of the haircut, which was called "shaving tap" to distinguish it from other haircuts. Some girls also chose this day to get their ears pierced. In addition, parents choose this day to send their children to school. Solemnly declare: the answer is for reference only, please don't be blindly superstitious.
