六、传统文化任务型阅读。
The dragon is a great animal in Chinese culture. It brings the wind and rain. It is said that every year on the second day of the second Chinese lunar(阴历的) month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called “Dragon Head-raising Day”(Longtaitou). This year, it falls on 20 March.
Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain was very important for farming. So they thought Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.
People have many ways to celebrate the Longtaitou Festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many believe that a haircut during the first Chinese lunar month may bring bad luck to their mother’s brothers. They hope getting a haircut on Longtaitou can help them get rid of(摆脱) bad luck.
Among Chinese people’s festival traditions, there is always a place for food. During the Longtaitou Festival, people eat food named after the dragon. Noodles are called the dragon’s beard(longxu). Dumplings are the dragon’s ears(long’er). And spring rolls are the dragon’s scales(longlin).
