China is a country with many colourful days and festivals. The Dragon Head- Raising Day is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves " the descendants(后代) of the dragon". On the day in ancient times, people put ashes in the kitchen. This was to" lead the dragon into the house". People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest(收成) in autumn.
Also, people eat special food on that day. For example, people eat "dragon's beard" noodles and dumplings called "dragon's ears".
