What does the rural saying "On February 2nd, the dragon rises, big warehouse is full, and small warehouses flow" mean?

In the traditional custom of China, the dragon rises on the second day of the second lunar month, and then the rain will gradually increase, which indicates a bumper harvest this year.

In ancient times, we often called talented and smart people "dragons", and vice versa. He also entrusted an important task to a capable person and was ready to throw off his arm to do great things. As the saying goes, it is called "the dragon looks up".

The folk proverb says: "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up; The big warehouse is full and the small warehouse flows. " It is believed that the second day of the second lunar month is the day when the dragon in charge of clouds and rain rises, and then the rain will gradually increase, indicating a bumper harvest this year. Therefore, this day is called the Spring Festival. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" contains: "The dragon, the scale worm's length, can be quiet and bright, can be long and short, the vernal equinox reaches the sky, and the autumn equinox is deep." On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, it is the beginning of the Spring Dragon Festival, which scares the dragon to look up, and the vernal equinox dragon ascends to heaven. On February 2 nd, it was also called "the dragon looked up". Dong Liu, an Amin, said in Spring Field, Volume II of Scenery of the Imperial Capital: "On February 2, the dragon looked up, fried the leftover cakes of the New Year, smoked the bed kang, and said" smoked insects ":it means that the dragon is attracted and the insects can't get out."

The second day of the second lunar month is the day when the dragon in charge of clouds and rain looks up in the sky, and then the rain will gradually increase, indicating a bumper harvest this year. The warehouse is full of grain, which represents a bumper harvest and a bumper harvest, reflecting people's expectation for a bumper harvest and their thirst for food, hoping for sufficient food and a happy life. On February 2nd, when the dragon rises, big warehouse will be full of grain, and all the small ones will flow out, which will be a scene of bumper harvest. It has placed people's strong desire to pray for the dragon's blessing, good weather and good harvests.

We also have some customs here, that is, on February 2, the dragon looks up and we want a haircut. Our boy got a haircut last year, and he can't get a haircut until February 2, when the dragon looks up, or he's dead. As long as you have an uncle, you won't get a haircut on February 2. If anything doesn't shine, knock on the box, whisper, knock on the box, knock on the pot table, knock on the edge of the kang and so on. It was when I first married my in-laws, and I snickered when my mother-in-law knocked on me.

There is also a married woman, who can't spend the day when the dragon looks up on February 2, can't look at the beams of her family, and die when she sees them, and so on. Are you ridiculous?

On the morning of February 2, you should brand the box, saying that branding the box in the morning is the bottom of the store. Eat jiaozi and drink warm noodles at noon. Drinking warm noodles does not allow plague and infectious diseases. Do you think this story is reliable? Then where is it? I think drinking warm noodles means that the dragon looks up on February 2, but spring has come, the cold has left us, and the weather is warm. I know, this is the real meaning of drinking warm noodles.
