Traditionally, Chinese do not cut their hair in the first lunar month, but get haircut starting from the Longtaitou Festival, which falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year. It is called "dragon raising its head" because the dragon is traditionally regarded as the deity in charge of rain. [Photo/VCG]
