People hope that dragons will rise to produce plentiful rain for mankind and facilitate spring plowing.

民间素有"二月二剃龙头"的说法，中国民间普遍认为在这一天剃头，会使人红运当头，福星高照。另外，在我国民间流传著"正月剪头死舅舅"的说法，所以很多人在腊月理完发后，一个月都不再去光顾理发店，直到"二月二"才解禁。
Thousands of Chinese people will hit the barbers' chair in search of good luck and prosperity on this day. It is also said that getting a haircut during the first lunar month is inauspicious and that if people do so their uncle may die.
