        China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them.

        This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar(阴历). It stands for the start of spring and farming. This year, the day falls on March 2.

        The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the "descendants(传人) of the dragon". Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons.

        On the day in ancient(古代的) times, people put ashes(灰) in the kitchen. This was to "lead the dragon into the house". People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest(收成) in autumn.

        Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat "dragon whisker(细须)" noodles and dumpling called "dragon teeth".

        Today, many customs have faded away(消退). But one that has remained (保留)is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the uncles of a family-mainly mother's brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.
