Hot on Weibo: 二月二，龙抬头 Dragon Heads-raising Day

3月13日是农历二月初二，“龙抬头”的日子。传说，冬眠的龙被春雷惊醒，抬头飞腾升天，行云布雨，迎接春天到来，所以称为“龙抬头”。古时有腊月二十七 以后不剃头之忌，到“龙抬头”这天，过了一个多月正适合理发。所以不少人趁着“二月二，龙抬头”讨吉利“剃龙头”。

今天你怎么过？你们有类似的习俗吗？

春雷：spring thunder

飞腾：fly swiftly upward

行云布雨：Chinese people believe dragons can make clouds and bring rain.
