Why was the dragon beheaded?

The origin of the dragon's head-up shearing;

As the saying goes, "the dragon doesn't look up, it doesn't rain." The dragon is auspicious and the master of weathering rain. On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, people pray for dragons to raise their heads to make rain and moisten everything, which is called "shaving the faucet on February 2" in history.

It is generally believed in China that shaving one's head on this day will bring good luck. Therefore, the folk proverb says, "Blowing the tap on February 2nd will make you feel refreshed all year round". On February 2, every barber shop was full of customers and the business was booming.

Therefore, throughout the first month, the barber shop was crowded and there was little business. However, on February 2nd, people came to have their hair cut in an endless stream. For those who come for a haircut on this day, what matters is not the haircut itself, but luck: everyone can shave the tap. In the old society, there was a saying among the people that "people who have money but no money shave their heads for the New Year". In other places, girls also get their ears pierced on this day.

On February 2nd, the dragon looked up.

Tibetan calendar (February 2nd), also known as Spring Farming Festival, Farming Festival and Spring Dragon Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. Every year on the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon looks up. Legend has it that dragons look up. This is a traditional festival in China. Celebrate the "Dragon Head Festival" to show respect for the dragon and pray for rain, so that God can bless the harvest.

It is said that Yao Wang was born on February 2nd. In the south, such as Hakka area, it is the birthday of land father-in-law, which is called "land birthday". In order to "warm his life", some places have the custom of holding a "land meeting": every household raises funds to celebrate the birthday of the land god, burns incense and sacrifices at the land temple, beats gongs and drums and sets off firecrackers. At the same time, the northern region also has the custom of eating pig's head meat and having a haircut (cutting the "tap") on holidays.
