摘要

AS a traditional Chinese festival,the Spring Dragon Festival falls on the second day of the second month of the Chinese lunar calendar(March 8,2019 in solar calendar),meaning the day when the dragon looks up.In the second month of the lunar calendar,spring returns to the earth and heralds everything coming back to life.It is said that the dragon king in the sky who is in charge of rainfall wakes up on that day and raises its head to spray rain and dew on the earth.People celebrate the day as a mark of respect for the dragon and pray for rain,expecting good weather and a good harvest for the year.The history of the festival goes back thousands of years.
