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 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 Festival）. This year, it falls on March 11th.
Old people believed that after the Longtaitou Festival, there would be more rain. And rain is very important to farming. So the Longtaitou Festival was the start of spring and farming. People have many ways to celebrate the festival. The most popular one is to have a haircut. Many people believe that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to your uncles—mainly your mother's brothers. They hope getting a haircut on the Longtaitou Festival keeps them away from bad luck.
Among Chinese people's festival traditions, there is always a place for food. On the Longtaitou Festival, people eat food named after dragons. Noodles are called dragon's beard （longxu）. Dumplings are dragon's ears （long'er）. And spring rolls（春卷） are dragon's skin（longlin）.

Labor education has been made a part of compulsory（义务的） education. Students will have at least one course every week on basic household skills such as cleaning and cooking. Should cooking be taught at schools How can labor education continue after school The topic catches wide social attention and causes heated public discussions.
Li Mei, a student in Beijing
We have little time to develop our interests because we have to spend most of the time studying. A household skill class can give us chances to experience more aspects of life and help us discover different interests. I hope we could be given the choices to take whatever courses we like.
Mrs. Chen, a housewife in Hubei
Schools should have cooking classes. Children will be taught about their food and how to cook properly. Many parents don't have the professional knowledge and have no time to do this. A household class would provide the knowledge and training that parents are unable to give their children.
Mr. Wang, a teacher in Shandong
By learning basic skills like cooking and cleaning, children can learn how to take care of themselves and live independently. Parents won't always help their children with every problem they'll meet in their life. They need to learn new things, solve problems and grow from their experiences. It is necessary for children to know how to master these important lifesaving skills as early as possible.
Wu Wei, an engineer in Shanghai
I learned some basic cooking skills from my mother. But most of them were learned after I graduated from the university, from books and online short videos.
Household skills like cooking are very useful in our daily life. I hope these cooking classes will really make the students realize that labor is important and valuable.

Grow Up in Labor
By Li Ming
Labor is very important in our life. It helps us learn how to take care of ourselves and live independently.
As for me, I often do the cleaning at school and help with the housework at home. Through doing the cleaning with my classmates at school, I have realized that team work can help finish the task more quickly and better. And I have learned to plan my time well when helping with housework at home.
Since labor is good for our development, let's take an active part in labor. But remember to follow the rules and keep safe to avoid accidents while working.
