It is a festival on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar.During the Yuan Dynasty, the second day of the second month was called the day when the dragon raises its head. The second month of the lunar calendar has entered the mid-spring season, and "February 2" is between "Rain Water", "Qingzhe" and "Spring Equinox" of the 24 solar terms. Since ancient times, people have worshipped dragons and celebrated the day of "Dragon Raising its Head" in mid-spring, praying for the dragon to eliminate disasters and bestow blessings, good weather, and a good harvest. The second day of the second month in the lunar calendar is both the Dragon Head-raising Festival and the Community Day Festival, the birthday of the God of Land. In the south, the custom of offering sacrifices to the community (the god of land) is still followed on "February 2" (the fifth day after the beginning of spring in ancient times). For example, in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other regions, there are customs similar to the Dragon Head-raising Festival, as well as new "February 2" customs based on the custom of offering sacrifices to the community. The god of land is widely worshipped in the south. What are the taboos of engagement?(1) Avoid using unlucky names in the betrothal gifts . In the old days, the man’s family would select an auspicious date and bring gifts and cash gifts to the woman’s family 15 to 20 days before the wedding. Generally, this ceremony is very grand, because the amount of the betrothal gift given by the man to the woman can not only reflect how much the man values the woman, but also reflect the man's family conditions.Each item in the betrothal gift should have an auspicious name. For example, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were nine fixed betrothal gifts, including cassia bark, Jiahe, donkey-hide gelatin, cattail leaf, red reed, double stones, cotton wool, longevity thread, and dry lacquer. Each item has the meaning of blessing the couple's love to last forever. (2) Avoid having an odd number for the betrothal gift. Avoid having an even number for the betrothal gift. Even numbers are a symbol of good luck. There is an old saying among the people that “good things come in pairs”. The odd number is an unlucky symbol and is therefore taboo. (3) Avoid including shoes in the betrothal gift. In some places, it is taboo to include shoes in the betrothal gift because people are afraid that the woman will wear the shoes and run away.
