The moral of raising your head and cutting your hair.

The second day of the second lunar month is the traditional Spring Dragon Festival. According to legend, dragons rise on the second day of the second lunar month, and people have always had the custom of "getting rid of old hair". It is said that getting a haircut on the second day of the second lunar month can bring good luck for the whole year. It is customary not to shave your head for the first month. Dragons raise their heads and cut their hair at different times of the day. Time is different, meaning is different.

The moral of raising your head and cutting your hair on February 2 is a good omen for good luck. It is generally believed that shaving one's head on this day will bring good luck. Therefore, the folk proverb says, "Blowing the tap on February 2nd will make you feel refreshed all year round."

Dragon Head Raising (the second day of the second lunar month), also known as Spring Farming Festival, Farming Festival, Qinglong Festival and Spring Dragon Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. "Dragon" refers to the astrology of the oriental black dragon in seven of the twenty-eight lodges. At the beginning of mid-spring every year, the "Dragon Horn Star" rises from the eastern horizon, so it is called "Dragon Head Up". The black dragon's seven nights correspond to rainfall.
