Chinese Traditional Festival - Dragon Head Raising Day
Dragon head up (February 2nd in the lunar calendar), also known as Spring Plowing Festival, Farming Festival, Qinglong Festival, Spring Dragon Festival, etc., is a traditional Chinese folk festival. "Dragon" refers to the astrology of the seven oriental dragons in the twenty-eight constellations. At the beginning of the mid-spring Maoyue (dou refers to the east) every year, the "dragon-horned star" rises from the eastern horizon, so it is called "dragon raises its head". The presence and disappearance of the Canglong Qisu corresponds to the rainfall. The ancients believed that the dragon was in charge of the rainfall, and the rainfall determined the harvest of farming, and the harvest of farming determined people's living standards. The dragon became the most important "totem" of the farming society. In farming culture, the "dragon raising its head" symbolizes the growth of yang, the increase of rain, and the vitality of all things. Since ancient times, people have also regarded the Day of the Dragon Head as a day to pray for good weather, to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters, and to bring good luck and good luck.
"Dragon raising its head" originated from the worship of natural celestial phenomena, which is related to people's understanding of the movement of stars and farming culture in ancient times. Although "Dragon Raises its Head" has a long history, it became a national festival and appeared in documents after the Yuan Dynasty. There are many activities related to "Dragon Raising its Head", but no matter which way they are, they all revolve around the belief in the beautiful dragon god. It is an activity where people place their hope for survival. As far as the whole country is concerned, due to different regions, customs vary from place to place.
The dragon is a mysterious creature living in the sea in mythology. It is in charge of clouds and rain, and it is often used to symbolize auspiciousness. Since ancient times, people have worshiped the dragon and celebrated on the day of "dragon raising its head" in mid-spring, in order to pray for the dragon to ward off disasters and bless them, with good weather and good harvests. The "February 2nd" of the lunar calendar is not only the "Dragon Head-raising Festival", but also the "Sheri Festival" on the birthday of the land god. Due to the overlap of festivals, "February 2" in some southern areas has both the custom of Dragon Head Festival and the custom of offering sacrifices to society. For example, in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other regions, "February 2" (the fifth day after the beginning of spring in ancient times) The fifth day) is mostly dedicated to worshiping the society (the god of the land), and most of the dragons are worshiped at the Duanyang of "Dragon Flying to the Sky".
