On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon looks up. February 2 1: International Mother Language Day is expected to be adopted.
What festival is February 2nd? What festival is February 2nd? The name of the festival on the second day of the second lunar month: Dragon Head Up, also called Qinglong Festival.
The dragon looks up, commonly known as the Qinglong Festival on the second day of the second lunar month. Legend has it that dragons look up. It is a traditional festival in rural China, and it is called "Dragon Head Festival". As the saying goes: "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up and everyone became a farmer." At this time, the sun's spirit rises, the earth thaws, and spring ploughing will begin. This is the time to transport manure and plow the fields. According to legend, this festival originated in the period of leader Fu. Fu "attaches importance to farming and farming". On February 2nd every year, "The Queen Mother delivers meals and plows the fields with her own horses" to take care of herself. Later, the Yellow Emperor, Tang Yao, Yu Shun and Yu Xia all followed the example of their predecessors. For Zhou Wuwang, we have not only followed this traditional practice, but also implemented it as an important national policy. On the second day of February, a ceremony was held, and all civil and military officials could personally plow an acre of land. This is the historical legend of the Dragon Head Festival. On the other hand, Wu Zetian abolished Tang Lizhou as emperor, which provoked the jade emperor to be furious and ordered the Dragon King not to rain for three years. The dragon king could not bear to lose his life, and it rained heavily secretly. When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he shot the Dragon King out of the Heavenly Palace and pinned him down at the foot of the mountain. Lebanese people feel that the Dragon King is deeply grateful to Rain God and prays to heaven every day. Finally, he moved the jade emperor and released the dragon king on the second day of February, so there was a saying that "the dragon looked up on the second day of February" In fact, in the past, rural water conservancy conditions were poor, and farmers attached great importance to the spring rain and celebrated the "Dragon Head Festival" to show respect for dragons, pray for rain and let God bless the harvest. From their wishes, it is good, so the "Dragon Head Festival" has been passed down to this day!
On the second day of the second lunar month, the reason why it is called Dragon Head-raising Festival is actually related to ancient astronomical phenomena. In the old days, people divided the astrology near the ecliptic into 28 groups, which respectively indicated the positions of the sun, the moon and the stars in the sky, commonly known as "Twenty-eight Hostels", as a reference for astronomical observation. The "Twenty-eight Hostels" are divided into four groups according to the four directions of east, west, north and south, resulting in "four elephants": black dragon in the east, white tiger in the west, suzaku in the south and Xuanwu in the north. In Twenty-eight Nights, the horn, kang, ground, room, heart, tail and dustpan form a dragon-shaped star, which is called the Black Dragon in the East. The horn represents the horn of the dragon, the kang represents the throat of the dragon, the old represents the claw of the dragon, the heart represents the heart of the dragon, and the tail and jump represent the tail of the dragon. In Shuowen, it is recorded that the dragon "can be quiet and bright, detailed and huge, short and long, reaching the sky at the vernal equinox and diving in the autumn equinox", which actually refers to the changes in the astrology of the eastern black dragon!
In ancient times, people observed that the stars in the black dragon rose in the eastern night sky in spring and set in the west in autumn, and their cycles and orientations coincided with the agricultural cycle in a year. When farming began in spring, the stars in the black dragon began to rise in the eastern night sky, revealing bright bibcock, crops grew in summer, and the stars in the black dragon hung in the southern night sky; In autumn, the crops are harvested, and the stars in the black dragon begin to fall in the west; Everything lurks in winter, and the stars in the black dragon are hidden under the northern horizon. Every year on the night of the second day of the second lunar month, the stars in the black dragon begin to emerge from the east, and the horns representing the dragon horns begin to appear on the eastern horizon. About an hour later, the dragon's throat rose above the horizon, and near midnight, the Pleiades star appeared. This is the process of "the dragon looks up". Every day after that, the date of "the dragon looks up" is about a little earlier. After more than a month, the whole "faucet" was "lifted". Later, this day was also endowed with multiple meanings and sustenance, and evolved into "Dragon Head-raising Festival" and "Spring Dragon Festival"!
The formation of Erlong Mountain's rise in early February is also related to the natural geographical environment. On February 2nd, the Dragon Head-lifting Festival is mainly popular in the north (there is little water in the south, so it is more popular to offer sacrifices to the land gods). Due to the perennial drought and lack of rain, surface water resources are scarce in the northern region, and the agricultural production that depends on it cannot be separated from water. The invasion of pests and diseases is also a major problem faced by crops. Therefore, people's psychology of praying for rain and removing pests and diseases is reflected in their daily beliefs, and the Dragon Head-lifting Festival on February 2 is particularly important for people: relying on the worship of dragons to drive away evil spirits, win good luck, and place people's longing for a better life-the dragon god protects the world, people and animals are safe, and the grain is abundant. On the day when the dragon looked up, all the clothes belonging to the snake and the dragon were washed and all the bad luck was washed away. Another way of saying it: On February 2nd, the dragon looked up. According to legend, the second day of February is the day when the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan was born. On the second day of February in the solar calendar, it is said that the Dragon King in charge of rainfall in the sky looked up. It means that there will be more rain in the future, which is beneficial to farming. One theory is that the dragon king always looks up from the bottom of the sea on the second day of the second lunar month because he misses his lost daughter.
On the second day of the second lunar month, what is the festival to celebrate the "Dragon Head Festival" in Hua Xushi? Full of dragon worship, it is believed that dragons control water and rain, which determines the abundance of crops.
On the second day of February, the dragon looked up and didn't offend. In the past, people would worship the roller on this morning. It is said that the drum is the embodiment of Qinglong. Some even put scorpions upright, indicating that "the dragon looks up." As the saying goes: "If you don't shave your head in the first month, you will die." Therefore, adults and children often shave their heads and have their hair cut on this day, which means to shave off the "faucet" to show dignity and good luck. Women should avoid sewing to avoid "blinding longan"; Don't grind flour, rice or carts, for fear of "breaking the waist and tail of the dragon".
In fact, "if you don't shave your head in the first month, you will die if you shave your head." There are rumors that the "dead uncle" in it is actually a change of voice of "homesickness", and the cause of this statement is also related to Shenyang. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, many people didn't cut their hair in the first month to show their nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty, but they were afraid to openly confront the Qing Dynasty, so there was a saying that "my uncle died in the first month" and it has been handed down. [ 1]
On February 2, most farmers eat "bulging" (rubbing their faces with their hands), commonly known as "pushing the door and pushing the stick". Why eat "bloating"? Some people say that if you eat a "door stick" and hold the door, evil spirits will not enter and you will be safe for one year. Some people say that after the Spring Festival, everyone was bored and confused, ate a "bulging" meal and began to work and live. Some people eat jiaozi on February 2nd, saying that it is to stick the scales and nails of the dragon, so that the dragon can feel refreshed and pray for rain. A few ballads satirize the lazy woman: "After the 23rd day of the first month, the lazy woman was so anxious that there was nowhere to drill. I want to go to heaven again and have no shoes to wear; I want to drill again, but I don't have a knife tip; I'm going to be hanged again, and I can't live without oil on February 2. " There is also a local custom of frying beans on this day. The folk song says, "On February 2nd, the dragon looks up, peas explode in every pot, wake up the dragon king to get up early, and the rain will ensure a bumper harvest." Some people are still burning incense and kowtowing in the nearby Wang Yao Temple, praying for peace.
Local custom: On February 2nd, in Liaocheng, Shandong Province, men want to get a haircut, and dragons look up for a haircut on this day, hoping for good luck in the year. Eating chess pieces and frying beans in Qingdao symbolizes "golden beans blossom".
Stir-fried corn: The legendary tradition of stir-frying corn on February 2nd every year is to commemorate Yi Long's breaking the dogma in order to relieve the suffering of human drought. Legend has it that Yulong was imprisoned by the Jade Emperor because he couldn't bear the people to suffer from drought, and made a rule that only golden beans would be released when they were in bloom. People get together to fry corn because they appreciate Yulong's kindness. Because it looks like golden beans in full bloom, the responsible Taibai Venus made a mistake and released Yulong. The tradition of frying corn on the second day of February every year has also been preserved.
