The custom of February 2, known as the Dragon Head Festival, has become a custom throughout the country to pray for peace and harvest with various folk activities related to dragons. Dragon Head Raising, also known as Spring Farming Festival, Farming Festival and Spring Dragon Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China.

"Dragon" refers to the seven constellations of the black dragon in the twenty-eight lodges in the East. At the beginning of the month in mid-spring, the "Dragon Horn Star" (the first star and the second star in the corner) appeared from the eastern horizon at dusk, so it was called "Dragon Head Up".

Legend has it that dragons can spread clouds and rain, eliminate disasters and reduce happiness, symbolizing good luck. Since ancient times, people have celebrated "the dragon looks up" in mid-spring to show their respect for the dragon, the good weather and the abundant crops.
