Do you know the origin of the dragon's rise on February 2?

The reason why the dragon looked up in February is as follows:

1, China people think that dragons are auspicious things and control sex, and the second day of the second lunar month is the day when dragons will ascend to heaven. In terms of solar terms, the first day of the second lunar month is between "rain", "fright" and "vernal equinox", and many places in China have begun to enter the rainy season.

This is a natural law, but the ancients thought it was the contribution of the "dragon". In addition, the dragon has a very high status in the minds of China people, and it is not only regarded as an auspicious thing, but also regarded as the master of wind and rain. Therefore, there is a saying that "on February 2, the dragon looks up."

2. On February 2nd, the Dragon Rises, which is explained by ancient astronomy, is often ignored. In ancient China, twenty-eight nights were used to indicate the positions of the sun, moon and stars in the sky and to judge the seasons. In the twenty-eight lodging houses, the horn, sound, rafter, room, heart, tail and dustpan constitute a complete dragon constellation, among which the horn is like the dragon's horn.

3. At the same time that the dragon looks up in the sky, spring has slowly come to the world. On this festival, the earth turns green and spring ploughing begins from south to north. Therefore, February 2, also known as "Spring Farming Festival", "Farming Festival" and "Spring Dragon Festival", is a traditional folk festival of Han nationality.

On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, there is a proverb in China, "On the second day of February, the dragon looks up". In the north, February 2 is also called Dragon Head-Up Day, also known as Spring Festival. It was called the picnic festival in the south and the vegetable picking festival in ancient times. China people have had the custom of "February 2nd" since the Tang Dynasty.
