初二（正月二日）是中国农历传统节日——龙抬头。 According to the Chinese lunar calendar, the second day of the second lunar month is a traditional festival called “Long Tai Tou” (龙抬头). This day is believed to bring good luck and prosperity, and it is celebrated by eating certain foods that are believed to bring good fortune and happiness. On this day, it is believed that the dragon, which is a symbol of strength and good fortune in Chinese culture, awakens from its hibernation and begins to move about, bringing good luck and wealth to people. Therefore, it is a good idea to eat foods that are symbolic of the dragon to bring good luck. One popular dish eaten on this day is "dragon dumplings" (龙饺子). These dumplings are shaped like the head of a dragon and are usually filled with pork and vegetables. Some people also add Chinese mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and dried scallops to the filling to make it more delicious. It is said that by eating dragon dumplings on this day, you will have good luck and wealth. Another popular food eaten on Long Tai Tou is "longevity noodles" (长寿面). These are noodles that are long and uncut, so that they represent long life. The noodles are often served with vegetables, chicken or beef, and are believed to bring good health and prosperity. In addition to these foods, it is also traditional to eat certain fruits and sweets. One of these is tangerines, which are said to bring good luck and wealth. Tangerines are considered lucky because their Chinese name sounds like the word for "luck." Another popular treat is "sweet glutinous rice balls" (汤圆). These balls are made from glutinous rice flour and filled with sweet fillings such as sesame paste or bean paste. In conclusion, celebrating Long Tai Tou is a longstanding tradition in Chinese culture. By eating these symbolic foods, people hope to attract good luck and fortune for the coming year.
