Here in China, every second day of the second month of the Chinese Lunar Year (falls today [March 20]this year, the year of the Golden Pig), in most parts of northern China, people will cut their hair. In Chinese folklore, this particular day, the God of Dragons who is responsible for the rain will raise his head and
bring spring rain to the earth from today. On this day, people in China not only go to the barber, but they also eat noodles or popcorn. Moses Liang (yettie 163.com)
