The Longtaitou Festival (on the second day of the second lunar month), also known as the Spring Farming Festival or the Farming Festival, is a traditional Chinese folk festival. In farming culture, the “Longtaitou (Dragon-Head-raising)” indicates the growth of yang qi, the increase of rain and vitality of everything.
