Dragon Heads-raising Day customs

1, pick up "aunt grandmother"

On February 2nd, another important activity was to pick up the "Grandma", that is, the mother's family took back the daughter who had been married, so there was a saying that "February 2 was picked up by Boa". My mother came to pick up her daughter and stayed for a few days or a half. First, she was busy for a long time in the first month. She was tired and took her back to take a rest. Second, the new year was just beginning, and it was busy again. So, I have to work on cotton. Generally, it is a spring cake, that is, a pizza. In the days when they were picked up, "Grandma" was a casual and happy addition to eating and drinking.

2, The emperor cultivated

Another event on February 2nd was the emperor farming. Because every year on February 2nd is almost before and after the shock, from the north to the time when the spring is busy. In order to mobilize people to rush into spring farming, don't mistake the farm. On February 2nd, the emperor will symbolically pass the official to the "one acre three-point land" arable land.

3, February 2 shaving faucet

As the saying goes, "The dragon does not look up, it doesn't rain." The dragon is the auspicious thing, and it is dominated by the weathered rain. On February 2nd of the lunar calendar, people prayed that the dragon would rise up and make rain and moisten everything. It is known as the "February 2 faucet".

Chinese folks generally believe that making this day's head will make people take the lead and Fuxing will shine. Therefore, folk songs say that "the February 2 shaving faucet has a spirit in one year." On February 2nd, every day, the barber shop is full of customers and the business is booming.

In addition, in our country, there is a saying that "the first month cuts the head and dies", so many people no longer go to the barber shop after one month in the twelfth month, until the "February 2" is lifted. However, this folk taboo has gradually faded in recent years.
