關(guān)于“二月二，龍?zhí)ь^”，有很多傳說(shuō)故事。下面我們就來(lái)看看：

根據(jù)民間傳說(shuō)，農(nóng)歷二月初二是長(zhǎng)官云雨的龍王抬頭之日。過(guò)了龍?zhí)ь^這天，雨水充沛，所以這天被稱為春龍界。中國(guó)北方的農(nóng)民深信龍?zhí)ь^后雨水充足這事，到時(shí)糧倉(cāng)無(wú)論大小都會(huì)裝滿糧食。每當(dāng)春龍節(jié)到來(lái)，中國(guó)北方都會(huì)舞龍，大部分地區(qū)在這天早晨，家家戶戶打著燈籠到井邊或河邊挑水?；氐郊依锉泓c(diǎn)燈、燒香、上供，理發(fā)（有習(xí)俗正月理發(fā)死舅舅）。舊時(shí)，人們把這種儀式叫做“引田龍”。這一天，家家戶戶還要吃面條、炸油糕、爆玉米花（比作為“挑龍頭”、“吃龍膽”、“金豆開(kāi)花，龍王升天，興云布雨，五谷豐登”），以示吉慶。

According to the folk legend, the 2nd dayof the second lunar month is the very day for the dragon king who is in chargeof clouds and rains to raise his head. After that day, there will be more andmore rain, so that day is also called Spring Dragon Day. Most Chinese northernfarmers believe that with the help of that day, all stores, big and small, willbe full of grain. Every year when this day comes, those Chinese northern peoplewill carry the lanterns, in the morning to fetch water from the wells and therivers. They will light the candles, burn incense and play tribute to thedragon king. In the old times people called this “welcome the fields dragon”.On that day, all the families will eat noodles or fried glutinous rice blocks,and pop corn to enjoy happiness.
