Shandong region (1) In some rural areas of Shandong Province, my country, there is a custom of "scattering ashes to attract dragons" and "beating the ashes pile" on this day. (2) On the second day of the second lunar month, the most important folk custom is to “shave the dragon’s head”. Regardless of whether you are old or young, everyone cuts their hair and trims their appearance to make themselves look brand new, which indicates that they can pray for good luck for the whole year.

On this day, people would light candles and shine the light on the beams and walls to drive away scorpions, centipedes, etc. When these insects see the light, they fall down and are killed. 3.
