With the development and inheritance of traditional Chinese culture, traditional festivals have been paid more and more attention. As the old saying goes, "The second dragon in February raises its head, and the second dragon ends in August." "Since ancient times, our ancestors have regarded the dragon as a mascot, and this year is the year of the dragon in the Chinese zodiac, so this year's February 2 is particularly eye-catching.
In many places, there is a custom of not shaving your head on the first day of the new year, and you deliberately shave your head (haircut) on the second day of February. This day can be said to be the busiest day for "Mr. Tony". There are long queues at barber shops, large and small. Children are called to shave "happy heads", and when the dragon raises its head, it blesses the children to grow up healthily and get ahead when they grow up; And adults get a haircut, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, hoping to bring good luck and a smooth new year.
Regardless of whether you have money or not, remind everyone that on February 2, in addition to shaving your hair, you should also "eat 4 things, do 3 things, and avoid 1 thing" to pray for your family's blessings and wealth.
