Origin and Customs of Longtaitou
"Longtaitou," also known as "Spring Plowing Festival," "Agricultural Festival," or "Green Dragon Festival," is one of China's important traditional festivals, held annually on the second day of the second lunar month. In northern China, this day symbolizes the awakening of the hibernating dragon, heralding the return of spring, the revival of all things, and increased rainfall, marking an important turning point in agricultural culture. People believe that getting a haircut on this day can "shave the dragon's head," implying good luck and health; they also eat various foods related to the "dragon," such as noodles (called "dragon's beard noodles"), dumplings (called "dragon's ears"), and spring pancakes (called "dragon's scales"), to pray for favorable weather, abundant harvests, and smooth sailing in the new year. In addition, folk customs include inviting the dragon home, stir-frying beans, and popping popcorn, all of which express people's yearning for a better life and reverence for nature.
