1, February 2nd
(Tang) Bai Juyi
On February 2, it was sunny and rainy, and grass sprouted for a while.
Light shirt, fine horse spring boy, cross full of words.
This poem describes the dragon raising its head on this festival. What is shocking is that the spring rain is continuous and the vegetation is as new as new. According to the custom of raising the head of a dragon, the last two sentences mean that young people come out for holidays and carry out some traditional activities. The woman went back to her mother's house, so she got on or off the boat at the ferry, or the last two sentences were the same, that is, the man came to pick her up or send her back to her mother's house.

(Tang) Han cong
The grass in the old garden is like moss, and people are still fragrant.
Today, this place has become melancholy, and it is even harder to come after spring.
Han Cong: He was born unlucky and died unlucky. He was appointed as an observer in Hunan in Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and was deported by Shi Zaishun and others in the 12th year of Dazhong (858). Later, instead of sending reinforcements to support Han Cong in destroying the rebel generals, he appointed Cai, the right general of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, as an observer in Hunan and abandoned Han Cong as a follower. Since then, the official position has been lost, and there has been no news.
Introduction to "On February 2nd, the dragon looked up":
Dragon Head Raising (the second day of the second lunar month), also known as Spring Farming Festival, Farming Festival, Qinglong Festival and Spring Dragon Festival, is a traditional folk festival in China. "Dragon" refers to the astrology of the oriental black dragon in seven of the twenty-eight lodges. At the beginning of mid-spring every year, the "Dragon Horn Star" rises from the eastern horizon, so it is called "Dragon Head Up".
The black dragon's seven nights correspond to rainfall. The ancients believed that dragons were in charge of rainfall, which determined agricultural harvest, and agricultural harvest determined people's living standards. Dragon has become the most important "totem" in agricultural society. In farming culture, "the dragon looks up" means that the sun is shining, the rain is increasing and everything is full of vitality. Since ancient times, people have also regarded the Dragon Rise Day as a day to pray for good weather, ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, and accept good luck.
