On March 2 1 day, the dragon heads up on February 2 of the lunar calendar, which is a traditional folk festival in China, also known as the "Dragon Head Festival". On this day, men, women and children go to the barber shop for haircuts. Why did the dragon look up for a haircut? 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."

On February 2nd, the dragon looked up and everyone shaved his head. In the old days, there was a saying in Huai 'an that "people who have money but no money shave their heads for the New Year". It's more than a month before the Spring Festival, so it's time for a haircut. On February 2nd, the dragon looked up, which was an auspicious day. After a long time, the custom of shaving on February 2 was formed. "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up and every child shaved his head". For good luck, the word "dragon" was added in the middle of the haircut, which was called "shaving tap" to distinguish it from other haircuts. Some girls also chose this day to get their ears pierced. In addition, parents choose this day to send their children to school.

Why is this day a "haircut day"?

On the second day of the second lunar month, spring returns to the earth, which is the season of planting crops, and the earth is eager for rain. In China culture, the dragon is an auspicious thing that dominates the wind and rain. As the saying goes, it doesn't rain until the dragon looks up, so the dragon looks up as a symbol of recovery and auspiciousness. In folk customs, people choose to shave their heads on this day in order to look forward to good luck. So dear friends, remember March 2 1. Remember to cut your hair.
