Baidu:
Legend has it that when Wu Zetian became emperor, the Jade Emperor ordered that no rain be allowed to fall on the world for three years. However, the Yulong, who was in charge of the Tianhe River, couldn't bear to bear the disaster and starve the people, so he secretly rained a heavy rain.
After the Jade Emperor learned of this, he threw the jade dragon in charge of the Tianhe River down the celestial palace and pressed it under a mountain. There was also a monument erected at the foot of the mountain, which wrote: The Dragon King violates the rules of heaven when he rains, and he should suffer the punishment of the world for thousands of years. If you want to climb Lingxiao Pavilion again, you will have to wait until the golden beans bloom.
In order to save the Dragon King, people searched everywhere for blooming golden beans. On the second day of February of the following year, people who were turning over the golden corn seeds suddenly remembered that this corn is like golden beans. When fried and blooms, isn't it the golden beans blooming? So every household popped popcorn and set up tables in the courtyard to burn incense, serving "blooming golden beans" for the Dragon King and the Jade Emperor to see them. The Dragon King knew that the people were saving it, so he shouted to the Jade Emperor,"The golden beans have blossomed, let me out!" When the Jade Emperor saw that the golden bean flowers were blooming in every courtyard in the world, he had no choice but to pass on an edict to the Dragon King to return to heaven and continue to make clouds and rain for the world.
From then on, it has been a habit among the people that on February 2, people will pop popcorn, which is called golden beans blooming.
There are different foods in different regions, but most of them are related to dragons. It is common to add the title of "dragon" to the name of food. For example, eating dumplings is called eating "dragon ears"; eating spring pancakes is called eating "dragon scales"; eating noodles is called eating "dragon whiskers"; eating rice is called eating "dragon seeds"; eating wontons is called eating "longan".
