The dragon is considered to be the deity in charge of rain,an important factor in ancient agriculture in Chinese culture. Legends say that on this day the rain-bringing Dragon King will awake from hibernation and lift his head, which marks the start of spring and the farming season.The festival is sometimes simply called "2 Month 2" for short.
龙在中国文化中被认为是掌管雨的神,而雨是古代农业的重要因素。传说在这一天，会降雨的龙王会从冬眠中醒来，抬起头来，这标志着春天和农耕季节的开始。该节日有时简称为“ 2月2日”(Er Yue Er，二月二)。
