According to legend, the festival of raising the head of the dragon originated in the era of Fu. Fuxi attached importance to agriculture and mulberry, and raised Wutian with agriculture. On the second day of the second lunar month, Emperor Niang delivered meals, cultivated with the royal family, and took care of an acre of land. Later Huangdi, Tang Yao, Yu Shun and Yu Xia were all pure or imitated by predecessors. For Zhou Wuwang, we have not only followed this traditional practice, but also implemented it as an important national policy. Every year, on the second day of the second lunar month, a major ceremony is held to let all civil and military officials personally plow an acre of land. It is said that this is the origin of the Dragon Head Festival.

The rise of dragons stems from the worship of natural phenomena, which is related to ancient people's understanding of the operation of stars and farming culture. Although the rise of the dragon has a long history, it only became a national festival after the Yuan Dynasty and appeared in literature.
