Legend has it that dragons look up, and the origin of "dragons look up" has a touching story!

Legend has it that in ancient times, an emperor made the jade emperor in heaven very angry because he delayed the time of offering sacrifices to heaven, so he ordered the Dragon King not to rain on earth for three years.

Since then, the drought has continued, and the crops in the field are dying, and the water in the river is almost dry. There was no harvest in the fields and there was a famine in the village. Everyone has no food, and everyone is helpless when they are sick. At this time, Qinglong, the youngest son of the Dragon King, couldn't stand it any longer. He can't bear to watch people in the world suffer from disaster and hunger. So he secretly gave it rain while the Jade Emperor was eating. The next day, the jade emperor flew into a rage after learning about it. So he ordered the Qinglong to be pressed under a big mountain, and a stone tablet was erected under the mountain, which read: "The rain in Qinglong violates heaven and should be punished by the world for generations." If you want to climb the Lingxiao Hall again, unless the golden beans bloom. "People are worried when they see the stone tablet and the suffering of Qinglong. But everyone racked their brains and couldn't think of a way to make the beans bloom.

In this way, on the second day of the second lunar month, people take out many soybean and corn seeds from home to dry. An old man suddenly found that these golden soybeans and corn are quite like golden beans. So the old man immediately ran home and let his wife fry in the pot to see what would happen to these things. After frying for a while, there was not much water in soybeans and corn, and they were all fried, so they all exploded. Only heard the sound of "scratching" from the pot. The old man looked, "ah! The golden beans are blooming! The golden beans are blooming! " Then, Qinglong rushed to the sky and made a few rolls and stretched himself. Suddenly the sky was overcast and thunder rumbled. Qinglong circled several times over the heads of ordinary people, thanking them for their help. People looked up at Qinglong with smiles on their lips. In a short time, raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky, and everyone was happy. They let the rain hit their faces and feel the wetness of the rain. In an instant, the earth came back to life, and a few days later, in the rice fields and mountains, it was full of vitality again. People have a good harvest and a good life. Solemnly declare: the answer is for reference only, please don't be blindly superstitious.
