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 lunar（阴历）month, the dragon wakes up from its winter sleep and raises its head. Because of this, the day is called "Dragon Heads-raising Day" (Longtaitou). This year, it falls on February 24th.

Old people believed that after Longtaitou, there would be more rain. And rain is very important to farming. So Longtaitou was the start of spring and farming.

Second, we should often open the windows in order to keep the air in the room fresh. Fresh air is good for us to keep healthy. Third, we ought to wash our hands many times a day, especially before meals and after going to the toilet. And each time we should wash them with soap and running water for at least 20 seconds. Fourth, make sure we have a good sleep at night. People who are tired or under stress can get sick easily, so it's important to have enough sleep.
