The second day of the second lunar month is the day when dragons look up in folklore, symbolizing the return of spring to the earth and the revival of everything. There is a custom of "hanging the dragon's tail" on February 2 in rural areas. I heard from the old people in the village that when they were young, on the morning of February 2, before the children woke up, the adults put the dragon tail on their children in advance, and the girls tied it on their pigtails or behind their collars. The boy was tied to the collar button. The so-called dragon tail is actually a kind of cloth, and the raw materials are rags, ropes and sorghum stalks. The old man said that the string method of the dragon tail is very particular. Harvest sorghum stalks in autumn, pick out sorghum stalks with appropriate thickness, and remove leaves for storage. When stringing the dragon tail, first cut the sorghum stalks into inches, then cut the cloth you usually save into inches, and string them alternately with the sorghum stalks with red lines or blue lines. Wearing a dragon's tail has the meaning of "praying for children's academic progress and leaping over the dragon gate as soon as possible"
Today, on February 2, there are very few families who string dragons and tails, and most children have never seen dragons and tails. Occasionally, several families give their children a string of dragons and tails, which will make other children envy. On this special day, it is of great practical significance to tap the soul treasure of folk culture and art for the inheritance of regional culture. For the record, the answer is for reference only. Please don't be blind and superstitious.
