A boy has his hair cut in a barber shop in Dazhou City, Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, to celebrate China’s Longtaitou Day, which fell on yesterday. The day of Longtaitou, which literally means dragon raises its head and marks the start of spring farming, falls on the second day of the second lunar month. Ancient people believed that after the day, the rain will increase because the rain-bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep. The most famous tradition on the day is getting a haircut for good luck. Xinhua |
