February 2, the origin of the dragon's rise.

Dragon Head Raising (February 2nd), also known as Spring Farming Festival, Farming Festival and Spring Dragon Festival, is a traditional folk festival of Han nationality. The dragon heads up on the second day of the second lunar month every year, commonly known as the Qinglong Festival. Legend has it that this is the day when dragons look up.

People in China think that dragons are auspicious things, in charge of sex and rain, and the second day of the second lunar month is the day when dragons will ascend to heaven. In terms of solar terms, the first day of the second lunar month is between "rain", "fright" and "vernal equinox", and many places in China have begun to enter the rainy season.

This is a natural law, but the ancients thought it was the contribution of the "dragon". In addition, the dragon has a very high status in the minds of China people, and it is not only regarded as an auspicious thing, but also regarded as the master of wind and rain. Therefore, there is a saying that "on February 2, the dragon looks up."
