In February 2023, the dragon looked up and went out of the city, okay?

In February 2023, Erlong looked up and left the city. It's good.

February 2nd is a grand day among the ancient people. All kings have to go out for a walk and pray for peace. The ancients believed that there were gods in the journey, which were called "ancestor gods", while the people regarded them as "walking gods", also called "Taoist gods" and "road gods". Therefore, before making a long journey, the ancients always offered sacrifices on the roadside to ensure the safety of the journey.

But in fact, many old traditions are very interesting. Modern people are under great pressure, and doing something with a sense of ceremony on some special days can also relax their body and mind. For example, on February 2, when the dragon looks up, according to the old saying, it is the day to go out for an outing and "invite the dragon" home.
