Why do so many Chinese people get a haircut on 二月二，龙抬头? In this short, our ancient-style hero goes into the modern streets of China and asks people a simple question: What does “Dragon Head-Raising Day” actually mean? A lot of people know what to do on that day… but not everyone knows why. The truth? The “dragon” didn’t originally mean a real dragon. In traditional Chinese culture, it symbolized the sky, rain, and seasonal change. “Raising its head” marked the arrival of spring, new growth, and the start of farming season. That’s why getting a haircut on this day became a symbol of good luck and a fresh beginning.
