Dragon Head-Raising (龙抬头) Day is a traditional Chinese festival. It comes on the day of the second lunar (农历的) month. In 2014, it is March 2.
On the day in ancient times, people put paths of ashes (灰) into kitchens and around water vats (缸). This was the dragon into the house.
On this day people eat noodles, dumplings and fried pancakes. All the day’s foods are after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker (龙须)” called “dragons teeth”.
In some ancient Chinese stories, dragons have power over the wind and rain. They often rain to the world on the second day of the second lunar month.
It is said that after that day there will be more and more rain. This is the day is often called “Spring Dragon Day”. It was hoped that the help of the dragon, ploughing (耕种) would be easier and the autumn would bring a good harvest.
It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month brought luck to the uncles in family. This is why you still see many people their hair cut on Dragon Head-Raising Day.
