In ancient times, around 3000 B.C., China was in a mysterious and legendary period known as the "Age of Antiquity". In this era, mythology and real life are intertwined, and the gods of heaven and earth work together with humans to create history.
At that time, China was made up of countless small countries and tribes, each with its own totems and beliefs. And among all the totems, the dragon is undoubtedly the most mysterious and noble. The dragon, which represents strength, wisdom and wealth, is the supreme deity of heaven and earth.
One day, the gods of heaven and earth gathered to discuss how to better protect the land and its people. They found that on the second day of February every year, yang energy began to rise and everything recovered, which was an important moment for the balance of heaven and earth and the balance of yin and yang. So, the gods decided to let the dragon wake up on this day and use its power to protect the land and ensure that the people live and work in peace.
The dragon was chosen not only because of its strength, but also because it symbolizes unity and harmony. Under the protection of dragons, tribes and nations are able to unite and work together to create an era of prosperity.
So, on the second day of February, the dragon woke up from its slumber, its body spanning the sky, its head high, and its eyes blazing. It wakes up, bringing warm sunshine and sweet rain, and everything is revived and vibrant. People walked out of their homes one after another, looked up, and marveled at the dragon's divine power.
Since then, the second day of February has been designated as the "Dragon Raising Festival" to commemorate the awakening of the dragon and its protection of the land. On this day, people hold grand celebrations to pray for a good harvest and happiness in the coming year. They will also dance dragons and race dragon boats, simulating the posture of the dragon and expressing their admiration and gratitude for the dragon.
With the passage of time, the "Dragon Raising Festival" has gradually become a traditional festival in China. On this day every year, no matter where they are, people return to their hometowns to reunite with their families and celebrate this important day together.
During the celebration of the Dragon Raising the Head Festival, stories about the dragon are also told so that future generations can remember this history. They believe that as long as they have respect and gratitude in their hearts, they can be blessed by the dragon and usher in a new hope and a better future.
In addition, it is also believed that on this day when the dragon raises its head, all dragons will leave the water and rise to the sky, which is why people will prohibit carrying water and carrying water on this day, so as not to disturb the dragon who is **.
However, the dragon's head is not only joyful and celebrating, it also symbolizes a sense of responsibility and responsibility. It is believed that only with strength, wisdom and courage like a dragon can this land and its people be protected. Therefore, on the day of the "Dragon Raising Head", people will not only pray for the protection of the dragon, but also reflect on their own actions and strive to become a responsible and responsible person.
The "Dragon Raising Festival" is not only a celebration of a traditional festival, but also a symbol of ancient Chinese culture and national spirit. It bears witness to people's worship and belief in dragons in ancient times, and also carries people's yearning and pursuit of a better life. On this special day, let's look up at the sky together and feel the blessing and power from the ancient dragon.
