China is a country with a long and rich history. It has many colorful holidays and festivals. The Double Second Festival (the Dragon Head-raising Festival or Longtaitou Festival) is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming.
The dragon plays an important role in Chinese culture. Dragon culture is one of the most popular cultures in China. Chinese people call themselves the “descendants of the dragon”. People celebrated the Dragon Head-raising Festival with many customs about the dragon in ancient times.
On the special day, people put ashes (灰) in the kitchen. They thought the dragon could be led into their houses with the help of the ashes. People believed that if the dragon went into their houses, they could have a good luck all year round and have a good harvest in autumn. On the special day, people ate special food.
The food was usually named after the dragon. For example, people ate noodles called “dragon whiskers noodles (龙须面)” and dumplings called “dragon ears”. On the special day, people sent gifts to others, picked vegetables and went on a spring outing.
Even though many of the customs have faded away (消退), the tradition of cutting hair is reaching new heights. Today people rush to have their hair cut, and have their children’s hair cut on the Dragon Head-raising Festival. They want to make themselves have new looks and have a good year.

This special day is on the second day of the second month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming.
The dragon plays an important role in Chinese culture. Dragon culture is one of the most popular cultures in China. Chinese people call themselves the “descendants of the dragon”. People celebrated the Dragon Head-raising Festival with many customs about the dragon in ancient times.
On the special day, people put ashes (灰) in the kitchen. They thought the dragon could be led into their houses with the help of the ashes. People believed that if the dragon went into their houses, they could have a good luck all year round and have a good harvest in autumn. On the special day, people ate special food.
The food was usually named after the dragon. For example, people ate noodles called “dragon whiskers noodles (龙须面)” and dumplings called “dragon ears”. On the special day, people sent gifts to others, picked vegetables and went on a spring outing.
Even though many of the customs have faded away (消退), the tradition of cutting hair is reaching new heights. Today people rush to have their hair cut, and have their children’s hair cut on the Dragon Head-raising Festival. They want to make themselves have new looks and have a good year.
