Introduction: The Dragon Raising its Head is an important traditional festival in our country, and it also has its own rules. So when is the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2, 2019 in the lunar calendar, and what can't we do when the Dragon Raises its Head? The beautiful spring has arrived, flowers are blooming, birds are singing, all things are beginning to wake up, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere. Mr. Shuimo.com takes you to experience the second month of the lunar calendar in 2019!When is the Dragon Raising its Head on February 2, 2019?The date of Dragon Raising its Head in the 2019 Lunar Calendar is Friday, March 8, 2019 (the second day of the second month of the Year of the Pig, 10 days away from the 2019 Lunar Zhonghe Festival)Dragon Raising its Head (the second day of the second lunar month), also known as the Spring Ploughing Festival, Agricultural Festival, and Spring Dragon Festival, is a traditional Chinese folk festival. "Dragon" refers to the seven stars of the Eastern Azure Dragon among the twenty-eight constellations. At the beginning of the first month of mid-spring every year, the "Dragon Horn Stars" (i.e., the first and second stars of the Jiao constellation) appear on the eastern horizon at dusk, so it is called "the dragon raising its head". "Mao" is one of the twelve Earthly Branches in the Ganzhi calendar, with its beginning and end at Jingzhe and the Spring Equinox. Its five elements belong to wood, and its hexagram is Zhen. "Mao" is the elephant of growth and development, representing vigorous vitality, as it is said in the Book of Laws: "Mao means lush, meaning that all things are lush." Since ancient times, people have celebrated the day of "Dragon Raising its Head" in mid-spring to show their respect for the dragon's blessings, good weather, and good harvests. The second month of the lunar calendar has entered the mid-spring season, and the second day of the second month is between "Rain Water", "Qingzhe" and "Spring Equinox" of the 24 solar terms. "February 2" is designated as the "Dragon Raising its Head" festival, and it is also 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 during the Dragon Raising Head Festival. For example, in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other regions, there are both customs similar to the Dragon Raising Head Festival and 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 can’t the Dragon Raise its Head do?1. Avoid using sharp objects on the dragon head joint. You must be extra careful on the second day of the second lunar month. You cannot use knives, scissors, or needles and thread, otherwise you will injure or poke the "dragon's eyes".2. Avoid pushing the grindstone on the dragon head joint. On the second day of the second month, you should avoid pushing the millstone to avoid pressing the faucet. 3. Avoid carrying water in the morning on Dragon Head Festival. It is best not to carry water on February 2nd, because if the bucket hits the well board, it will damage the faucet, which is a big taboo. In Shanxi and Hebei, people are afraid that they will carry the dragon eggs back home when they carry water in the morning. 4. Avoid spinning flowers during the Dragon Head Festival. Because "Spinning cotton on the second day of the second month will stain the dragon's hair and claws", which means that if you spin cotton on the second day of the second month, you may be punished by the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning. 5. Avoid washing clothes near the faucet joint. In some places, women are not allowed to wash clothes on the second day of the second lunar month for fear of polluting the water and damaging the dragon's skin. 6. Don’t go out before sunrise on Dragon Head Festival. In Wucheng area, it is taboo to go out before the sun rises. It is said that doing so will "kick the top of the granary", which means destroying the hope of a good harvest for the year.
