Today is the second day of Feb. according to Chinese lunar calender. Stories said that it is today that the god of rain, Dragon Kings, raise their heads. In my hometown, people eating saute bean today is a tradition. As far as I'm concerned, only people in Northern China hold this tradition.
What about other places? Are there any other traditions?

o, I made a mistake. Dragon Kings should be the god of WATER...
Besides, Chinese Dragon is more powerful, i think.
