February 2nd Dragon looks up (excerpt from the Internet)
In northern my country, a folk legend is widely circulated that every second day of the second month of the lunar calendar is the day when the Dragon King, who is in charge of clouds and rain, rises up; from then on, the rain will gradually increase. Therefore, this day is called the "Spring Dragon Festival". It is widely spread in northern China that "on February 2, the dragon rises its head; the big warehouse is full, and the small warehouse flows." The folk proverb.
Around the first day of February is "Jingzhe". Many animals, such as frogs, snakes, and earthworms, enter hibernation in winter, which is called "sting". Around the second month of the lunar calendar of the following year, the weather warmed up, and some insects gradually ended their hibernation state and began to come out to move. It seemed that they had been awakened from their sleep by the shining spring sun or the ear-shaking spring thunder, so this festival was called "Jingzhe".
Wang Laihua said that the legendary dragon was imagined by our ancestors based on snakes, earthworms, etc., so people also called the snake "little dragon". Around February 2, snakes, earthworms, etc. ended their hibernation and began to move. People believe that the dragon is the symbol of the son of heaven, an auspicious thing, and the master of wind and rain."February 2" is the day when the dragon wants to ascend to heaven and start its activities, so it is said that "February 2, the dragon raises its head."
So why not "February 1" or "February 3"? Folk experts explained that this is related to our folk customs liking even numbers.
Folk experts say that in ancient China, especially in the Qin and Han Dynasties and before,"heavy days" such as January 1, February 2, and March 3 were mostly considered to be days when heaven and earth were connected and heaven and nature were connected. Therefore, on such days, people need to do more prayers, sacrifices or commemorative activities to seek happiness, well-being and good fortune.
