Spring/Blue Dragon Festival Calendar

Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou Festival, Spring Dragon Festival or Blue Dragon Festival) falling the second day of the second lunar month is a traditional Chinese festival. ''Dragon'' here refers to the Oriental Dragon Constellation in the 28 lunar mansions and the Dragon Horn Star in this constellation would rise from the eastern horizon at the beginning of the second lunar month in Chinese calendar, thus the name of the festival. Since ancient times, Chinese people have celebrated the Dragon Head Raising Day to pray for good luck, good weather and good harvest.
