What's the date of the dragon's rise on the second day of the second lunar month? Why is it called February 2 nd?

20 19 February 2nd in the lunar calendar and March 8th in the solar calendar.

This is a magical day for the dragon to raise its head. It is said that in ancient times, a dragon was imprisoned in the prison of heaven for violating the rules of heaven. It is estimated that, just like when the Monkey King was crushed in Wuzhishan, the poor Monkey King had a master to rescue him, and the dragon was finally released. People later raised their heads to celebrate. At this time, it coincides with the rainy solar term in February of the China lunar calendar, resulting in the saying that "on February 2nd, the dragon rises".

On February 2nd, China people have the custom of shaving their heads, offering sacrifices to Wenchang God, eating noodles, frying oil cakes, popping popcorn and eating pig's heads. On this day, there is also a certain emphasis on diet, because people believe that "Rowen has great wealth", so most of the diet on this day is named Dragon.

The Qing Dynasty's "Wan Shu Miscellaneous People" said: "On February 2, everyone called the dragon to look up, and the villagers used gray twisted cloth to enter the kitchen from the outside and circled the water tank, which was called bringing the dragon back." This activity is in the early morning of the festival. People scatter plant ash and chaff all the way from the river and the well to the water tank at home, just to have good weather. If you don't trust, only when it rains, you must bring water into your home and let the rain fall on your own fields, so that you can get what you want.
