Shave the tap on the second day of February, and you will be in good spirits all year round. On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, no matter walking in the country market or in the streets and alleys of the city, you will see a beautiful landscape-many people are queuing for haircuts. Children's haircuts are called "shaving their heads", and when the dragon looks up, it will bless children to grow up healthily and get ahead when they grow up. Adults get a haircut, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, hoping to bring good luck and a smooth new year.
The second day of February is a traditional folk festival. It is said that the sun is in full swing on this day, and the day when black dragon in the East begins to rise against the sunrise in the East means seeing hope. It is also a festival for people to pray for spring ploughing, good weather, abundant crops and good luck. Therefore, on February 2 nd, when the dragon looks up, the haircut means "starting from scratch", and the dragon among people will look up.
Longtaitou custom
1, swing the warehouse
The enclosure on February 2 is a symbol of the villagers' hard work. The enclosures are big and small, ranging from three to five, and the enclosures are not double. After the warehouse is surrounded, all the food in the house is found out and put in the middle of the warehouse devoutly, and it is also deliberately scattered on the periphery of the warehouse. It symbolizes the bumper harvest of that year, and there are already too many grains and buckets to fill. I wish you a bumper harvest and a full warehouse.
2. Eat dragon food
There are also the customs of eating pig's head meat, chewing pig's trotters and biting pig's ears on February 2, all of which symbolize the auspicious and rich life. People describe dragons as looking for features from many animals. In the image of dragons, we can find the shadows of snakes, fish, phoenixes, dragons, deer, horses and cows. This is also the reason why people use pig heads instead of faucets.
