Ancestor worship is a very important thing no matter when, which expresses our respect and remembrance for our ancestors. Visiting the graves to worship ancestors during festivals is a habit for many people, but not every festival is suitable for visiting the graves to worship ancestors. Can I visit the graves and pay homage to my ancestors on February 2, 2018? Winter has gone and spring has come. February in the lunar calendar has already entered spring.

From the almanac, we can see that the second day of the second lunar month in 2018 is "the day of the sun being in the month and the day of the moon being in the negative, do not use for major events", so it is not suitable for visiting graves and worshiping ancestors. What are the taboos when the dragon raises its head on February 2?On the second day of the second lunar month, you must be extra careful and not use knives, scissors, or needles and thread, otherwise you will injure or poke the "dragon's eyes". When carrying water in the morning, it is forbidden to let the bucket hit the side of the well, otherwise it will damage the faucet. It is taboo to push the mill on this day to avoid pressing the faucet. It is also taboo to eat porridge and drink dumpling soup. Otherwise, hail will fall from the sky if the longan is covered.People don’t eat noodles on the second day of the second lunar month because noodles are long and thin, like dragon whiskers. In Beijing, Henan and other places, people are forbidden to eat noodles on the second day of the second lunar month. It is said that eating noodles is like eating dragon's whiskers, which will offend the Dragon King and cause floods that year. People are not allowed to drink porridge or eat rice because they believe that porridge is dragon's blood and rice is dragon's egg. You can’t spin cotton, because “Spinning cotton on the second day of the second month will stain the dragon’s hair and claws.” Dragon claw means being struck by lightning. In some places, washing clothes is taboo for fear of damaging the dragon's skin. In Wucheng area, people are forbidden to go out before the sun rises, otherwise they will "kick the top of the granary" and destroy the hope of a good harvest for the year. There are many taboos during the second day of the second month. The most common custom is that women are not allowed to use scissors or needles for fear of poking the longan eyes or piercing the dragon's head; they are also not allowed to cut with knives for fear of chopping the dragon's head. In addition, many places in Shanxi and Hebei avoid carrying water in the morning. It is believed that carrying water in the morning will bring the dragon back home. In Suide, Shaanxi, it is believed that carrying water in the morning will touch the dragon's head. Unlucky. People in Xinhe, Hebei and Tengxian, Shandong avoid grinding flour on the same day for fear of suppressing the dragon's head. In the Dongming area of Shandong, people have to clean the mills in the afternoon of the first day of February. Lift up the upper and lower fans of the mill and do not use it. Because the locals believe that the stone mill is a dragon head, the dragon head must be lifted up during the Dragon Head Festival. Even today, although stone mills are no longer used to grind flour, to this day. All noodle-making machines had to stop operating for fear of "grinding the dragon head to pieces". |
