The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descendants (后代) of the dragon”. Therefore, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons.
On the day in ancient 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 in autumn.
Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker(须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.
Today, many customs have faded away(逐渐消失). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother’s brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day and until today people still observe the custom.

Period One
Starting out & Understanding ideas
China is a country with many colourful 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. It stands for the start of spring and farming.
The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people
call ourselves the “descendants (后代) of the dragon”. Therefore,
people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many
customs about dragons.
On the day in ancient 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 in autumn.
Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are
usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon
whisker(须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.
Today, many customs have faded away(逐渐消失). But one that
has remained is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut
during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the
mother's brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the
Dragon Head Raising Day and until today people still observe the
