The story of the rise of the dragon

The story of The Rise of the Dragon is as follows:

According to folklore, every second day of the second lunar month is the day when the Dragon King, who is in charge of sex and rain in the sky, looks up. After that, the rain will gradually increase. Therefore, this day is called "Spring Festival". It is widely circulated in northern China that "on February 2, the dragon looked up; The big warehouse is full and the small warehouse flows. " Folk proverbs.

Whenever the Spring Festival comes, in most parts of northern China, every family carries lanterns to fetch water from wells or rivers in the morning. When they get home, they light lanterns, burn incense and offer sacrifices. In ancient times, people called this ceremony "attracting dragons".

Festival introduction:

Dragon Head Raising (the second day of the second lunar month), also known as Spring Farming Festival, Farming Festival, Qinglong Festival and Spring Dragon Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. "Dragon" refers to the astrology of the oriental black dragon in seven of the twenty-eight lodges. At the beginning of mid-spring every year, the "Dragon Horn Star" rises from the eastern horizon, so it is called "Dragon Head Up".

The black dragon's seven nights correspond to rainfall. The ancients believed that dragons were in charge of rainfall, which determined agricultural harvest, and agricultural harvest determined people's living standards. Dragon has become the most important "totem" in agricultural society. In farming culture, "the dragon looks up" means that the sun is shining, the rain is increasing and everything is full of vitality.
