中国民间有“二月二、龙抬头”的谚语。据说，农历二月二这天，是主管云雨的龙王抬头之日，此后，雨水渐多，春季来临，万物复苏。提起二月二，大多数人只会想起该剪头发了，可在我的家乡——陕西，二月二的时候，可不只有这一种习俗。

爷爷跟我说：“二月二，是传统的春耕节，此时，东风解冻，阳气回升，雨水滋润，最宜耕种。相传，身为三皇之一的伏羲，也会在每年二月初二亲自到田里耕作，自理一亩三分地，引得人们纷纷效仿。这也就是为什么，每年二月二的时候，所有农民都会一起下地干活，这种行为，就称为通农。在二月二龙抬头这天，村里的男人们会相约一起下地，开始一年的耕作。”

昨天，也就是二月二，晚饭的时候，奶奶给我们一人做了一盘饺子。我问奶奶：“为什么春节吃了那么多天的饺子，现在还要吃饺子？”奶奶回答道：“二月二嘛，就得吃饺子，这是从古至今流传下来的。”我又问：“吃饺子，有什么寓意吗？”“这叫咬龙耳，目的是把龙唤醒。”奶奶说。“那为什么要把龙唤醒呢？”我继续追问。“这我就不知道了，我也是听老一辈人说的。”眼看奶奶是指望不上了，我只能自己上网查查资料。资料上写着，唤龙意为把龙唤醒。古时候是农耕社会，人们靠天吃饭，民间普遍形成了对龙的崇拜与依赖思想。人们会在二月二这天想方设法地把龙唤醒，好让龙及时兴云布雨。咬龙耳朵，也就是吃饺子，是一种民间流传下来用于唤龙的方法。二月二这天，奶奶还炒了一大盘的棋子豆，这是我们家乡的特色零食，咬起来嘎嘣脆，还有一股油香味。据说，把面做成龙鳞一样的棋子豆，寓意着龙王升天，兴云布雨，五谷丰登。
