There may be disputes in your relationship, so you might as well treat all situations calmly. In terms of wealth and health, be careful in what you say and do to stay safe. The origin of the Dragon Raising its Head Why is "February 2" called the Dragon Raising its Head? Because we use the lunar calendar, the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar is around the "Qingzhe" solar term, and the second month of the lunar calendar has entered the mid-spring season. At this time, the yang energy rises, the earth revives, and the grass and trees sprout. Farmers are about to start spring ploughing and sowing, and they need the soil to be moist and retain water. If it rains at this time, it is truly precious, so there is a saying that "spring rain is as precious as oil". In terms of the solar terms, the beginning of February is between "Rain Water", "Qingzhe" and "Spring Equinox" of the 24 solar terms. This is a period when rain is needed and there is a possibility of rain. People hope to achieve the purpose of rain by praying to the dragon. Moreover, the dragon raising its head also indicates that yang energy is coming out from the ground, so various hibernating insects feel it and start to move, thus corresponding to the solar term Jingzhe. Folk customs on February 2 The Chinese people believe that the dragon is a symbol of good luck and the master of wind and rain, and the second day of the second month in the lunar calendar is the day when the dragon wants to ascend to heaven. In terms of solar terms, the beginning of February in the lunar calendar is between "Rain Water", "Qingzhe" and "Spring Equinox". Many parts of my country have begun to enter the rainy season, and people will hold ceremonies to worship dragons and pray for rain, and release animals in order to pray for a good harvest in the year. In our country, people have the custom of shaving their heads, offering sacrifices, worshipping the God Wenchang, eating noodles, frying cakes, making popcorn, and eating pig heads. Among them, "shaving the dragon's head" originated from the ancient custom of offering sacrifices to the dragon on the second day of the second lunar month. The custom of worshiping the dragon on the second day of the second lunar month embodies China's view of nature that "harmony between man and nature" is an integral part of human nature. When the weather gradually warms up and the rain starts to increase, people hope to adapt to this process by "worshiping the dragon" and thus live in harmony with nature. |
