It is also called Er Yue Er (\u4e8c\u6708\u4e8c, \u00e8r yu\u00e8 \u00e8r) or the Spring Dragon Festival (\u6625\u9f99\u8282, Ch\u016bnl\u00f3ng Ji\u00e9).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Seasonal meaning:<\/strong> It connects the return of spring with traditional wishes for rain and good harvests.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Haircut custom:<\/strong> Some families mark the occasion with a haircut and wishes for a fresh start.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Food custom:<\/strong> Everyday dishes receive festive names associated with dragons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">It happens every year, not only in a Dragon year. Participation varies; these customs express cultural wishes rather than producing good fortune.<sup>[2][3][4]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"tcjdi-infographic\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;margin:24px auto;text-align:center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Dragon-Head-Raising-Festival-guide-to-dates-haircuts-foods-and-local-customs.webp\" alt=\"Dragon Head Raising Festival guide to dates haircuts foods and local customs\" title=\"Dragon Head Raising Festival guide to dates haircuts foods and local customs\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2560\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto\" \/><figcaption>Explore Longtaitou dates, seasonal meanings, optional haircuts, festive food names, and local customs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Why do haircuts and foods with dragon names share a date? Longtaitou (\u9f99\u62ac\u5934, L\u00f3ngt\u00e1it\u00f3u) brings those customs together on the second day of the second lunar month. This guide explains their meanings and local differences within the wider calendar of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/chinese-festivals-and-holidays\/\">Chinese festivals and holidays<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>When Is the Dragon Head Raising Festival?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Longtaitou follows the Chinese lunisolar calendar, so its Gregorian date changes annually. Lunar February 2 is not the same as February 2 on an ordinary Gregorian calendar. In 2027, the festival falls on March 9.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It also differs from the 24 solar terms, which follow the Sun\u2019s position. In 2027, Jingzhe (\u60ca\u86f0, J\u012bngzh\u00e9), often translated as \u201cAwakening of Insects,\u201d falls on March 6, while the Spring Equinox (\u6625\u5206, Ch\u016bnf\u0113n) falls on March 21. Neither date is that year\u2019s Longtaitou. Their seasonal associations overlap, but their date rules differ.<sup>[1]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Longtaitou is not a nationwide statutory public holiday in mainland China. A community performance may have its own schedule, and a family can arrange a meal when convenient. Distinguish the observance\u2019s lunar date from a public event\u2019s advertised date and from an employer\u2019s leave arrangements.<sup>[9]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>What Does Longtaitou Mean?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Longtaitou literally means \u201cthe dragon raises its head.\u201d The image connects a changing night sky with the return of spring. In traditional Chinese astronomy, seven groups of stars form the Azure Dragon\u2019s seven mansions (\u82cd\u9f99\u4e03\u5bbf, C\u0101ngl\u00f3ng Q\u012bxi\u00f9), part of a larger system of 28 lunar mansions. They stretch across several modern constellations rather than forming one modern constellation.<sup>[2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Horn mansion (\u89d2\u5bbf, Ji\u01ceoxi\u00f9) represents the dragon\u2019s horns. As those stars become visible rising in the eastern evening sky during this season, people can picture a dragon lifting its head while the rest of its body follows. This is a seasonal explanation, not a promise that the stars rise at sunset on every lunar February 2. Visibility depends on the year, location, observing time and conditions.<sup>[2]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The agricultural connection comes from a different layer of meaning: dragons were associated with clouds and rain, and communities expressed hopes for rainfall and productive fields. Such beliefs helped give a seasonal observance its cultural significance. They do not mean a ceremony controls rain or that everyone should begin planting on the same day.<sup>[4][5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">These layers explain why the festival brings together apparently unrelated activities: watching seasonal change, wishing for rain, and marking personal renewal. They do not establish one inventor or a single starting year for the observance.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Do People Get Haircuts on Longtaitou?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">A festival haircut is commonly called \u201cshaving the dragon\u2019s head,\u201d or ti longtou (\u5243\u9f99\u5934, t\u00ec l\u00f3ngt\u00f3u). The expression gives an ordinary grooming appointment a festive meaning. For children, it can carry wishes for healthy growth; for adults, it can suggest renewal. Those wishes do not mean a haircut changes health, luck or future success.<sup>[3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The date also comes just after the first lunar month. Some families avoid haircuts during that month and return to the barber in the second. The custom is documented in discussions of northern Chinese practice, but it is not a rule followed by every northern household, still less by all Chinese communities.<sup>[3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A related saying claims that a first-month haircut harms a maternal uncle. It is a superstition, not a causal connection. Another often-repeated explanation links the saying to a supposed confusion between words meaning \u201cremembering the past\u201d and \u201ca dead uncle.\u201d That proposed origin is disputed and should not be presented as established history.<sup>[3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you plan a haircut, ask the barber about availability rather than assuming every shop observes the festival. Children and adults can choose another appointment date. No nationwide tradition fixes a lucky hour, requires a particular hairstyle, or makes a haircut a condition of celebrating. Follow the household\u2019s preferences without treating its choice as a standard for everyone else.<\/p>\n<h2>What Do People Eat at Longtaitou?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Longtaitou food names often turn familiar dishes into parts of an imagined dragon. The ingredients remain ordinary grains, vegetables or meat. The following examples identify local associations, not a compulsory festival menu.<sup>[4][7]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x:auto;max-width:100%;max-height:800px\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Actual food<\/th><th>Festive name or association<\/th><th>Local context<\/th><th>What to keep separate<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Noodles<\/td><td>Dragon whiskers (\u9f99\u987b, l\u00f3ng x\u016b)<\/td><td>Recorded in Beijing festival food customs<\/td><td>A festive name, not one mandatory noodle recipe or thickness.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Spring pancakes (\u6625\u997c, ch\u016bnb\u01d0ng)<\/td><td>Dragon scales (\u9f99\u9cde, l\u00f3ng l\u00edn)<\/td><td>Beijing and other local northern traditions<\/td><td>Thin pancakes differ from deep-fried spring rolls; they are also eaten on other occasions.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Dumplings<\/td><td>Dragon ears (\u9f99\u8033, l\u00f3ng \u011br)<\/td><td>Appears in northern folk accounts<\/td><td>A local nickname, not a nationwide rule about what dumplings to serve.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Popcorn or fried beans<\/td><td>\u201cGolden beans blooming\u201d<\/td><td>A folk story associated with northern festival accounts<\/td><td>The rain-bringing story is a legend, not evidence that food changes weather.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Pig\u2019s head meat<\/td><td>A symbolic association with a dragon\u2019s head<\/td><td>Some northern festival food traditions<\/td><td>It is prepared pork, not a separate ingredient called dragon meat.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Chengyao cakes (\u6491\u8170\u7cd5, ch\u0113ngy\u0101og\u0101o)<\/td><td>A name associated with supporting the waist<\/td><td>A documented Suzhou seasonal food<\/td><td>Forms vary; the traditional wish does not establish protection against back pain.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">The dragon-part names are documented together in festival accounts, while Suzhou has its own rice-cake tradition. Chengyao cakes should not all be described as fried leftovers from the previous year: contemporary local examples include other forms. Nor does a food\u2019s presence in Suzhou prove it is exclusive to that city.<sup>[4][6][7]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ask what a dish actually contains rather than inferring ingredients from its festive nickname. A family may choose one seasonal food, share an ordinary meal, or make no special food arrangements.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Customs and Regional Differences<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Historical northern customs include \u201cinviting the dragon back\u201d (\u5f15\u9f99\u56de, y\u01d0n l\u00f3ng hu\u00ed). Accounts describe an ash trail connecting the outside of a home with the kitchen or water vessel. Ash granaries (\u7070\u56e4, hu\u012b d\u00f9n) were symbolic grain-store shapes associated with hopes for a full harvest. These are records of past household and farming practices, not present-day requirements or instructions for controlling pests.<sup>[4][5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Some older accounts also mention avoiding needlework for fear of injuring the dragon\u2019s eyes. That explanation belongs to folk belief. It does not establish a real danger from sewing, and households today need not observe the prohibition. Historical descriptions show what particular communities practiced or believed; they do not prove nationwide conformity.<sup>[4]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Public celebrations offer another kind of evidence. On February 21, 2023, a dragon-dance celebration took place in Longtan Town, Jiahe County, Hunan. It is a specific, dated example of a local community marking the festival. It does not establish that the same performance happens annually, or supply a schedule for a future year.<sup>[8]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Contemporary participation can be much quieter. One person might get a haircut; another household might share a seasonal dish. Others may not observe Longtaitou at all. Ask about the particular family or community rather than building a single itinerary from unrelated local customs. A haircut, household belief and public dragon dance can all be associated with the date without becoming a checklist everyone must complete.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQs About the Dragon Head Raising Festival<\/h2>\n<h3>Is Longtaitou the Same as the Dragon Boat Festival?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">No. Longtaitou falls on lunar February 2. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/dragon-boat-festival\/\">Dragon Boat Festival<\/a> (\u7aef\u5348\u8282, Du\u0101nw\u01d4 Ji\u00e9) falls on lunar May 5 and has different festival traditions. A shared dragon image does not make them the same observance.<\/p>\n<h3>Do You Have to Get a Haircut on Longtaitou?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">No. It is an optional custom. Keep your usual appointment or choose another date; there is no universal lucky hour, required hairstyle or obligation for children to participate.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Longtaitou One of the 24 Solar Terms?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">No. Its date follows the lunar month and day, whereas solar terms follow the Sun\u2019s position. A coincidence in a particular year does not merge the two systems.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the Dragon Head Raising Festival a Public Holiday?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">It is not a nationwide statutory public holiday in mainland China. A local celebration or workplace arrangement is separate from the national holiday calendar.<sup>[9]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">[1] Hong Kong Observatory. <a
