”二月二，龙抬头“背后的文化和传统
The culture and traditions of China's Longtaitou Festival
The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or Dragon-Head-Raising Festival,falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year, and recognizes the start of spring and farming.
Ancient people believed that after this day rainfall increases because the rain-bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep.
A well-known phrase goes,"Er yue er, long tai tou," meaning, "On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head."
The festival celebrates ancient agrarian Chinese culture, and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced, others persist.
The most famous tradition is getting a haircut. Some believe that going to the barbe on this day gets rid of bad luck, while others believe getting a haircut during the first
month of the lunar calendar brings bad luck.
Another saying warns that cutting your hair in the first month will cause your uncle to die. Although today few pay attention to it it was once tradition to line up outside barber shops on the day of Longtaitou, having avoided haircuts for the preceding month.
每年的农历二月初二是我国传统节日“龙抬头”，这一天是春天农耕开始之际。
古人认为，龙掌管着降雨，这天过后，龙王会从冬天的沉睡中苏醒，雨水随之增多。
我们常说的“二月二，龙抬头”，意思就是“在农历二月的第二天，龙王苏醒抬起头。”
这个节日是庆祝我国古代农耕文化的，虽然一些传统的庆祝方式已经不复存在，但有些却延续至今。
其中最流行的传统就是理发。有人认为，在这一天去理发店可以消除厄运，也有人认为在正月理发会带来厄运。
还有一种说法是“正月理发死舅舅”。尽管现在很少有人还信这个，但以前的传统就是到了“龙抬头”那天，要到理发店外排队等着理发，正月理发是有避讳的。
