On February 2nd, the dragon looked up, bearing in mind that "three don't forget, four don't do it, eat five kinds" and respecting the traditional Na Xiang transshipment.

The second day of the second lunar month (the dragon heads up) is a traditional folk festival, also known as Spring Farming Festival, Farming Festival and Qinglong Festival. In ancient China, it was a country with agricultural civilization. In farming culture, "the dragon looks up" indicates that the sun is shining, the rain is increasing and everything is full of vitality. This day is also a day to pray for good weather and good luck.

There are also many people who pay attention to February 2. What things can't be forgotten? What can't I do? In addition, as a traditional festival, food is also indispensable. What food do you need to eat? In this article, the author will talk in detail about the problem of "3 don't forget, 4 don't do it, eat 5 kinds" on February 2, and everyone will have an answer after reading it.

Let's say "three don't forget" first

First of all, don't forget to get a haircut.

On the one hand, there is a folk saying that you can't get a haircut in the first month. Affected by this statement, many people don't have their hair cut in the first month and have long hair. After entering February, they will have their hair cut.

On the other hand, getting a haircut on February 2nd is more meaningful, especially for children. Many parents hope that their children can get ahead for good luck when they grow up, and choose the day when the dragon looks up for a haircut.

For adults, going to have a haircut on February 2 is also a wish for good luck, smooth career and good health.

Second, don't forget to "collect dragon souls"

What is "gathering dragon spirit"? How to "pick"? In fact, the practice is very simple. On February 2nd, during my stay in Shi Mao (5-7 o'clock), I got up and walked to the gate, facing the east, and then took a deep breath, which means "taking a dragon breath".

The sun rises in the east, and the "dragon" also has the legend of the East. This is the day when the sun rises in Shi Mao, and February 2nd is the day when the dragon rises. Therefore, taking a deep breath when many factors are combined means luck.

Third, don't forget to "tap"

The practice of "knocking on the tap" is also very simple. On the morning of February 2, find a long pole and hit the beam. The implication is simple. Compare the beam to a "dragon" and wake the "dragon" by hitting the beam to protect the health and safety of the family.

In the past, there were basically beams in building houses, but now there are no beams in buildings and bungalows. However, some friends knocked on the roof with long bamboo poles on February 2 for good luck.

Say "4 don't do it"

1, no needlework

According to legend, on February 2nd, when the dragon looks up, in order to better send the poor and welcome the blessings, the "dragon" will circle every household.

If you needlework on this day and accidentally stab the "dragon" in the eye, it will not only bring happiness, but also bring trouble.

2, can not be ground.

In the past, people used to grind their own noodles with wheat. Many families have stone mills. As the old saying goes, "Grinding is a tiger, grinding is a dragon." If you grind your face on this day, you may crush the dragon to death, causing it to lift its head, ascend to heaven and get no blessing.

3. You can't go to the river to fetch water.

In the past, people would go to the river to pick up daily water, but they should avoid February 2 to pick up water.

According to legend, some dragons live in water. If you lift water on the day when the dragon looks up, it will disrupt the dragon's actions and make the dragon unhappy. That year, the weather will not be good, and there may be a dry year.

4, can't cut things

On February 2, when the dragon looks up, if you cut something with a knife, you will be in danger of cutting the dragon's head. The implication is not very good. It turned out that the dragon looked up. If you hurt the faucet, you can't lift it, and the days of good weather will be gone.

Finally, say "eat five kinds"

The first one: "eat dragon beard meat"

On February 2nd, you will eat noodles, which are very thin and shaped like "dragon whiskers". Therefore, eating noodles has the saying of "eating dragon whiskers".

Noodles stand for "long", so eating noodles stands for longevity.

The second type: "eat dragon ears"

Every traditional festival in China can't be separated from eating jiaozi, especially in the northern region, where jiaozi is shaped like an ear. So eating jiaozi on February 2nd is called "eating dragon ears".

The third kind: "eat dragon forest"

There is a folk saying that "bite a dragon's forest, and it will bring good luck", and dragon's forest refers to our common spring rolls, which are wrapped in flour and can be wrapped with meat and vegetables. By eating Longlin, we can drive away bad luck and bring ourselves good luck.

The fourth sample: "eat dragon eggs"

On February 2nd, many families will cook some eggs for their children. There is a saying called "eat dragon eggs", especially for children who go to school. After the parents cook the eggs, they will put them in their children's schoolbags and let them eat them at school, which means that they are successful in their studies.

The fifth sample: "eat longan"

Many areas will eat wonton on February 2nd. When cooked, it is very thin, elastic and transparent, which is quite different from that in jiaozi. Besides, it is shaped like an eye. Therefore, eating wonton is called "eating longan", which means that people can have good results regardless of their eyes or things.

Seeing this, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the content of "3 don't forget, 4 don't do it, eat 5 kinds" on February 2 nd.

As a traditional festival, some people say that these delicacies, since they can be passed down to the present, have their meaning of existence and need to be observed.

However, some people say that the above contents have no scientific significance and low value.
