February 2, the dragon heads up, is a day known to all of China, but customs vary from place to place, and the way to do it is even more different.
My family is from the northeast, and February 2nd is an important day.
Where is it important! Because you can eat pig's feet, hehehe!
One, February 2nd to eat pig's head with pig's feet.
We have to eat pig's feet and pig's head after February 2 here, I don't know why, I asked my parents, they don't know why, anyway, it's just passed down from the old generation, and the younger generation has been doing just that! I especially like pig's feet, so I especially crave February 2nd.
Talk about eating pig's feet! One fun thing that comes to mind is that pigs have four feet, but we're a family of three, so how do we tell them apart! We couldn't tell them apart every year, but this year, my mom boned the pig's feet and mixed them into gazpacho, haha.
Two, the first month is not allowed to get a haircut, the lads have turned into civil girls, a head of hair, the dragon head can finally get a haircut.
February 2 season of the barber store is full, full to a haircut need to line up all morning, even so, many people also line up, some with a small stool. February 2 dragon head up haircut is customary everywhere, of course, this is not superstition, it is just a good wish.
And my personal is much simpler, I seldom go to the barber store to cut hair, because I am bald, if the hair is long, let my mother with electric push knife a push, money to save a lot, but also enhance the mother-child relationship, how good ah! I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to afford to pay for it.
Three, flying kites.
Yes, I don't know if there is such a custom elsewhere, that is, on February 2 this day many people stand in the square flying kites, what kind of kites are there, but there is guaranteed to be a dragon-shaped kite, which has no provisions, anyway, every year, as long as there is a kite on the place.
Not only this, but also have to fight kites, of course, fighting kites with cheaper, because they are disposable. It is to interfere with other people's kites, so that they lose the ability to float in the air, the winning one, our village can win a pig's head home, can be interesting.
This is the first time I've seen a kite flying.
