February 2 is an unlucky day that is getting worse. There are five rules that cannot be broken. What do you know?

One two is unlucky, but when two two meet, they form what is known as the "double sun" in our tradition.

For example, January 1 (i.e. the first day of the first lunar month), February 2, March 3, etc. When these lunar months and dates are the same, they are called double days.

In ancient China, especially before the Qin and Han dynasties, the heavy sun was considered a day when heaven and earth communicated and heaven and man communicated.

Therefore, on every important day, people also hold various sacrifices and prayer activities in order to seek happiness and health.

1. On the second day of February, you must not move your needle or thread. Among the Chinese people, the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar is often called the Qinglong Festival or the Dragon Head Festival. In addition, the Chinese nation respects the "dragon", so this day

All the customs and rules of the day revolve around the "dragon".

It is said that this is because the Dragon King will look up at the world on this day, and the needle and thread may prick the dragon's eyes.

Although not many houses have needlework these days, I still try to avoid mending that day!

2. In some northern areas, noodles are still not allowed to be eaten on February 2. This is because the long and thin noodles look like dragon’s beards, so it is disrespectful to eat dragon’s beards on the dragon’s festival!

If you anger the Dragon King, you may have to say goodbye to the good weather this year, and your crops will suffer!

On February 2, housewives can also be lazy and don't have to do laundry.

This is because washing clothes means harming the dragon's skin, which is taboo!

3. It is taboo to push the grinding mill on February 2nd to avoid pressing the faucet. Before February 2nd comes, many tofu shops and noodle shops will clean the stone mills and put up the millstones to prevent them from being used.

This is a folk belief that the millstone symbolizes the dragon head.

Therefore, it is taboo to push the wheel on February 2 to avoid pressing the faucet.

4. Choose an auspicious day to move, but don’t choose February 2 because in Feng Shui, February 2 is the day when the Dragon King rises and ascends to the sky. If there is a lot of construction work on this day, it will hurt the dragon’s body, so friends who want to move and break ground

Let’s choose another auspicious day.

Since February 2nd is the day when the Dragon King rises and raises his head, besides abiding by the rules and not harming the Dragon King, is there any way to tap the dragon's energy and improve our luck?

The first one is of course the haircut we talked about at the beginning.

When a child gets a haircut, it is called shaving a "happy head", which means to protect the child's healthy growth, academic success and success when he grows up; when an adult gets a haircut, it is called shaving a "dragon head", which means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, bringing good things to the next year.

Omen, good luck.

When you go to get a haircut, you must find the right time. On the one hand, it is to stagger the peak, and on the other hand, it is also because you must pay attention to the right time, place and people, and it is particularly important to master the right time.

For example, if you get a haircut between 7 a.m. and 12 noon, it means that the dragon son will ascend the throne, and your career and studies will improve step by step; if you get a haircut between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., it means that the dragon will scatter money and make a lot of money.

If you want to attract wealth, besides getting a haircut, you can also lure the dragon home.

Different regions have different methods of attracting dragons. The most common method is to go to a well or river near your home, fill a pot with water, and sprinkle water all the way home, which means that the dragon king will follow the water traces to your home.

Bring wealth and blessings to the home.

Since it is a day to pray for blessings, sacrifices are naturally indispensable.

In addition to burning incense and worshiping, people also perform dragon dances and eat dragon food to worship the dragon king and pray for good weather and peace for the country and the people.

If we don’t want to go out, we can also wear dragon ornaments at home to seek good luck.

For example, dragon tablets, dragon and phoenix tablets carved in the shape of dragons, etc., when worn on the body, can mean that dragons and phoenixes present good fortune and good luck.
