The Longtaitou Festival is a traditional festival. It is on the second day of the second lunar month. This year it fell on March 1. As an old saying goes, "Er yue er, long tai tou." It means on the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon lifts his head.
This festival was important in ancient China. People believed after this day the rain would increase because the rain - bringing Dragon King woke up from his winter sleep. So it marked the start of spring and farming.
