每年農(nóng)歷的二月初二是“龍?zhí)ь^節(jié)”（Dragonheads-raising day），龍被認(rèn)作是農(nóng)業(yè)文化的重要元素，是因其威嚴(yán)（dignity）和掌管天氣的權(quán)利。在龍?zhí)ь^這一天，人們都有理發(fā)（cutting hair）的習(xí)俗。有些地區(qū)還流行吃春餅（pancakes）和面條（noodles）。

關(guān)于“二月二”的英文，有多種表達(dá)方法：

Dragon Heads-raising Day

Spring Dragon Festival

Longtaitou Festival

Eryueer Festival

“二月二”，是漢族民間的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日。流行于全國各民族地區(qū)。在節(jié)日期間，風(fēng)俗活動(dòng)較多，又有花朝節(jié)、踏青節(jié)、挑萊節(jié)、春龍節(jié)、青龍節(jié)、龍?zhí)ь^日之稱。民間有挑菜、踏青、迎富等豐富的民俗活動(dòng)。

關(guān)于“二月二，龍?zhí)ь^”，有很多傳說故事。下面我們就來看看：

根據(jù)民間傳說，農(nóng)歷二月初二是長(zhǎng)官云雨的龍王抬頭之日。過了龍?zhí)ь^這天，雨水充沛，所以這天被稱為春龍界。中國北方的農(nóng)民深信龍?zhí)ь^后雨水充足這事，到時(shí)糧倉無論大小都會(huì)裝滿糧食。每當(dāng)春龍節(jié)到來，中國北方都會(huì)舞龍，大部分地區(qū)在這天早晨，家家戶戶打著燈籠到井邊或河邊挑水?；氐郊依锉泓c(diǎn)燈、燒香、上供，理發(fā)（有習(xí)俗正月理發(fā)死舅舅）。舊時(shí)，人們把這種儀式叫做“引田龍”。這一天，家家戶戶還要吃面條、炸油糕、爆玉米花（比作為“挑龍頭”、“吃龍膽”、“金豆開花，龍王升天，興云布雨，五谷豐登”），以示吉慶。

According to the folk legend, the 2nd dayof the second lunar month is the very day for the dragon king who is in chargeof clouds and rains to raise his head. After that day, there will be more andmore rain, so that day is also called Spring Dragon Day. Most Chinese northernfarmers believe that with the help of that day, all stores, big and small, willbe full of grain. Every year when this day comes, those Chinese northern peoplewill carry the lanterns, in the morning to fetch water from the wells and therivers. They will light the candles, burn incense and play tribute to thedragon king. In the old times people called this “welcome the fields dragon”.On that day, all the families will eat noodles or fried glutinous rice blocks,and pop corn to enjoy happiness.

到了元朝，二月二就明確是“龍?zhí)ь^”了。正月十五的元宵滾進(jìn)二月二龍?zhí)ь^的鑼鼓聲中。二月二，農(nóng)歷二月二，俗稱“龍?zhí)ь^”、“春龍節(jié)”。大人小孩還念著：“二月二，龍?zhí)ь^，大倉滿，小倉流?！薄段鼋蛑尽吩诿枋鲈蠖嫉娘L(fēng)俗時(shí)提到，“二月二，謂之龍?zhí)ь^”。
