Dragon Heads-raising Day: time for a haircut
China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. Dragon Heads-raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them.
This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming. This year, the day fell on March 18.
The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (传人) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate Dragon Heads-raising Day with many customs about dragons.
On the day in ancient times, people put ashes (灰) in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest in autumn.
Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker (细须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.
