It is widely practiced in the south of China, and dragon boat races are also held in cities close to rivers and lakes in the north, and mostly in the form of rowing and dancing dragon boats.

There are many stories about the origin of dragon boat racing, such as honoring Cao E, Qu Yuan, the water god or the dragon god. Its origin can be traced back to the end of primitive society. Dragon boat racing was first introduced to neighboring countries such as Japan, Vietnam and Britain. It was an official event at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games and is on the national intangible cultural heritage list.

In honor of Qu Yuan:

According to the Historical Records; Qu Yuan and Jia Sheng biography Qu Yuan was a minister of King Huai of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He advocated the promotion of talent, affluence, and the alliance of Qi against Qin, which was strongly opposed by the nobles and others. Qu Yuan was expelled from the capital and exiled to the Yuan-Xiang basin because of his greed and desertion. He wrote such immortal poems as "Li Sao", "Heavenly Questions", "Nine Songs" and "Huai Sha", in which he worried about the country and the people. In 278 B.C., the Qin army broke through Kyoto, and Chu and Qu Yuan were at loggerheads Idon't I can't bear to abandon his homeland. On the fifth day of the fifth month, he finished writing his magnum opus "Sui Book of Geography", threw a huge stone to the Miluo River and died.

Legend has it that after the death of Qu Yuan Qu Yuan, the people of Chu were so sad that they flocked to the Miluo River to mourn him. Fishermen rowed their boats up and down the river to salvage his real body. They rushed to Dongting Lake, but there was no sign of him. Since then, dragon boats are paddled every year on May 5 to honor it. The dragon boat is paddled to disperse the fish in the river so as not to eat Qu Yuan's body.

In Miluo City, Hunan Province, before racing the dragon boat, one must go to the temple of Quzi Temple to worship the dragon head for the god Weng in the word, put a red cloth over the dragon head, and then race the dragon boat with the head on the boat to worship the dragon god and honor Qu Yuan.

:4. Miluo River Dragon Boat Race

1. Cheering and cheering. Encouraging voices rise and fall on the big river, and the players Qixin work together and paddle forward with their paddles. There is also a player banging drums to cheer the players and command them, hoping to win the championship. The waves of water paddled by the crew recede quickly and the dragon boat moves forward like an arrow on the big river. It was nearing the finish line, and the crew paddled as hard as they could to the end. Oh, victory! Three, three, five, four players a face showing the joy of victory.

2. Ready, start! With the referee's order, all kinds of dragons are like arrows out of the string, going down the river, wanting to compete for the head of the dragon family. They were all chasing each other, fighting to be the first, and no one was unwilling to be left behind. The exciting scene was exhilarating. The sound of music resounded through the river, the drums thumped, the gongs clanged, and the horns were heard endlessly. The athletes on the dragon boat were as energetic as the warriors on the expedition. They rowed and sprinted desperately, and the mountains on the shore called out to the tsunami and rolled up in gusts.

3. Watching the dragon boat races from the wall, each dragon boat touches the hearts of the spectators, and my heart is like the waves in the sea, rising and falling. The athletes really lived up to the audience's expectations. They were calm, cool and collected, waving their muscular arms and paddling desperately. Finally, a dragon boat took the lead and became the chief

4. The dragon boat race began. Each dragon boat was like an arrow off the string and kept rushing forward. There were many dumplings tied under each dragon boat. Every step forward, someone in the dragon boat cuts the dumplings off with a knife and throws them into the water. The speed of each dragon boat was equal: No. 1 led for a while, and No. 8 caught up for a while. Suddenly, the paddlers seemed to increase their strength, and each dragon boat got faster. At that moment, the drummer began to beat the drum, and the paddlers immediately shouted rhythmically, Dong! Knock on the door. Knock knock knock. Ho! Ho! Ho ho ho. Seems like the citizens are coming over to cheer, too. It's starting to get hairy. What a big drum! Sound! Cheer! The sound is deafening! It's raining! Sweat! The river and water are compatible! The dragon boats are getting faster and faster, as if giant dragons are soaring through the river. Gradually, gradually. No. 1, No. 5 and No. 9 form the leading group. 100 meters! 50 meters! 20 meters The finish line is getting closer and closer, only to see No. 5's power explode out of control! I left the two dragon boats far behind and sprinted to that line!

Dragon boat racing is a folklore activity unique to Zhongshan, where people race dragon boats in the river every Dragon Boat Festival. This year's Dragon Boat Festival, my mom and dad and I came to the river early to watch the dragon boat race. Although it was 7o in the morning at seven o'clock, the bank was already crowded with people. Before the race began, there was almost thunderous applause and loud shouting on both banks. There was never a moment's cheering, applause or drumming on the banks. The crowd had been cheering and shouting for their favorite champions.

6. Dragon boat racing is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. It originated in ancient times, when the people of Chu were dying because the wise minister Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, and many people rowed after him to save him. They rushed to Dongting Lake, but they were nowhere to be found. Since then, dragon boats are paddled every year on May 5 to commemorate it. The dragon boat is paddled to disperse the fish in the river so as not to eat Qu Yuan's body.

7. The river for the dragon boat race was chosen at the mouth of the Zhenjiang River, one of the three rivers. The triangular flags hanging on the river and the crowds of people with various kinds of flower umbrellas on both sides of the river are linked together as a whole. Together with the towering buildings on the banks, they are reflected like mirrors on the river surface and linked with the colorful dragon boats in the river to form a beautiful landscape.

8. At 1 p.m., the sound of gunfire continued. It turned out that the boat was sailing to the Wenqiang Bridge. Not long after, sure enough, 112 small dragon boats selected in the preliminary round came one after another. The weather in late fall was a bit cool, and it was even cooler when soaking in the water. The dragon-handlers in the race were fearless, riding the waves and chasing after the champions amidst cheers and gunfire. Look! They rowed so neatly, always lifting their oars one by one and dropping them one by one, even lifting them at the same height. All the spectators on the shore stretched their necks to watch this wonderful race and shouted come on come on. The little dragon boat sped forward like an arrow from a string, splashing many small waves. After an hour or so, the athletes were all working together and moving forward. They're all big men, but they're still chomping at the bit to get after each other.

9. By now, the riverbanks were packed with people. There were also many dragon boats approaching the area on all the rivers. The race was about to start and the athletes were eager to try. In the first round, there were four dragon boats, red, yellow, black and white. I like the white boat, I want to cheer for him. Just then, a gunshot was fired, and suddenly the drums and horns sounded loudly. Four dragon boats shot out like arrows, and the spectators on the shore boiled over. I also began to cheer desperately for the white boat: faster, faster, faster, white boat. The race was over. Although I felt a little sorry that my favorite white boat came in second place, I was still moved by their spirit of gritting their teeth and persevering to the end when they were behind. I think the end of the day was really delicious.

10. When the referee gave the order, all the teams set off together. There are seven teams competing in this competition*** Their dragon boats are arranged in the order of the colors of the rainbow. Some teams advanced according to the rhythm of the bow commander Xiahou _ banging the drums, marching forward desperately, suddenly taking the lead and rushing ahead; while others came and went in a hurry, falling behind the last, as the saying goes: the desire for speed is not enough. The players on the river rowed hard, and those who watched the game by the river were not idle. They kept shouting slogans of cheering, and the cheering became louder and louder. The players became more energetic and vigorous amidst the cheers of the spectators. The drums of the commander were deafening, the players cooperated well with each other, the rhythm was clear, and the morale of the teams was high.

11. After lunch, I went to the river. I saw a sea of people on both sides of the river. There were so many people, like countless little stars on the Milky Way. Some of them had flat heads, braids, black and gray hair . Everyone wore their favorite clothes: red, yellow, purple and flowers. It was really colorful. The sun was so hot today that people on both sides of the river were sweating. But they didn't don't put the sun in their eyes. They all stood on their tiptoes and stretched their necks, waiting anxiously and patiently for the dragon boat race.

12. A dragon boat is different from an ordinary boat in that it is long and narrow, with a tap and a tail at the end. The colors of the tap are red, black and gray. All of them are similar to the head of the dragon lantern with different postures. They are usually carved from wood and painted (also made of paper or yarn). The dragon's tail is mostly carved from whole wood and scales. Besides the dragon's tail, the dragon boat is also decorated with gongs and drums, flags or hull paintings. How spectacular it is!

13. A red rope pulled over the water is the story of the starting line dragon boat. All the dragon boats are lined up in this row, ready to start. The paddlers on the dragon boats were all tied up with bandanas, their hands gripping the paddles tightly, their shiny black brass leathers taut. Suddenly, there was a thumping shot, and the dragon boat shot off like an arrow from a string. The drummer standing on the dragon's head kept flying with his double hammers, and the paddlers paddled in silence, moving as neatly as a paddling machine boat. Even the majestic bugler shouted like a man.

14. The race began. The first team to go to the race was our class. The athletes of our class stood in the boat with smiles and confidence on their faces. With a bang, the starting gun went off. I saw the athletes of our class rowing hard and shouting slogans ouch! together. Our class cheerleaders shouted Go, go, class four. Other students waved colorful flags and chased the athletes on the spot, watching their expressions, eager to help the athletes. 1 meter, 1 decimeter, 1 centimeter on the left. Yay! We won! We cheered as a class.

15. The race is coming to an end. For the runners, it could be considered a sprint. The spectators were holding their breath, barely breathing, just the drumming of the ship commander's voice. The red team was still leading, and the last-place purple team was starting to catch up. At this point, some of the spectators couldn't help but shout and cheer for the Purple team, which made the Purple team more confident. The sub team overtook five teams in a row, and in one breath, they raised their ranking to second. At this point, the referee blew his whistle and the game ended with the whistle. In the end, the Red Team successfully defended their title and the Purple Team finished second, setting a new record for that team. The crowd once again erupted, buoying the spirit of the Purple team.

16. Each dragon boat is about 20-30m long, with about 30 sailors on board. All of them are strong and healthy. They paddle together, work together, don't say a word, put their best foot forward! I saw you chasing me, one after the other. It's really competitive and exciting! The cheerleaders of the teams were also working hard off the stage, constantly cheering, and some even raised their fingers! I secretly gave a thumbs up to those dragon boat racers and thought to myself you guys are awesome!

17! Cheer up! Cheer up! Cheer up! The cheers from both sides of the strait were loud and clear. A hundred paddles were flying, splashing and a small circle swooned over the river. It's almost over. The competitors on each dragon boat are exhausted. But they still paddled hard with the water slurry, falling together, bit by bit, in their dragon boats. It's like the end is near. Go for it! Go for it! Go for it! Come on! The shouting on the shore is getting more and more intense. Everyone paddles hard. Race to the finish line.

18. The race begins. First the men prepare. Both players were ready, and when the referee gave the order, both sides immediately lined up. The race was so fierce that the water in the lake was splashed by the oars, the cheerleaders cheered on the lake, the drum corps beat and blew their horns. People shouted from the shore. In the deafening sound, I vaguely heard people shouting; dragon and horse team, cheering. At this time the dragon boat was close to the shore, both players still refused to give way. Suddenly, the Dragon and Horses team rushed up and caught up with the other dragon boat. The Dragon and Horse team really lived up to their name and won the championship in the preliminaries.

At 9.11o clock, it started. I picked a spot and watched with interest. At first there were only two or three dragon boats, but gradually there were more. The people on one dragon boat, dressed in red, a dozen or more worked together, paddling hard and stirring up a gush of water. The men on the boat beating the gongs and drums beat them with all their strength, and still there were many cries from the boat. The men in one dragon boat saw that the dragon boat next to them had overtaken them, and paddled desperately. The other one looked and, not to be outdone, tried to paddle. Because the person behind them paddled too hard in front of them, they almost fell off. Fortunately, their feet were tied with a strap on the boat. The dragon boat was narrow and long, and the people in the boat rowed almost exactly the same way. The boat lurched forward as fast as a motor.

20.We managed to find a place. We only saw the red team, the yellow team, the blue team and the youth team a **** seven dragon boats. Listen to the bang of the starting gun, the race began. Like an arrow in a dragon boat, after rushing out of the starting point, they won't let me, I won't I won't let you get away with it. For a while, the red team was ahead, the yellow team was ahead, the blue team was first, but the youth team was always behind. At this point there was a lot of cheering, applauding and paddling. As the racers heard the cheers and cheering, they got the idea that I want to be first, so they paddled faster and faster, trying to be the first to the finish line. After crossing the West River footbridge, unbeknownst to them, the red team was way ahead, and the yellow team was not far behind, so they caught up. In the end, the red team won first place, the yellow team won second place, and the blue team won third place.

21. Dragon boat racing can be traced back to the Warring States period. It was a half-religious and half-entertainment program in the ceremony to carve dragon canoes and play rowing games to entertain the gods and people in the sound of drums. Later, in addition to commemorating Qu Yuan, different dragon boat races were held in different places, which showed people's heart for patriotism and collectivism.

22. Last year, on the Dragon Boat Festival, I was invited by a friend to watch a local dragon boat show in Lubao Town, Sanshui. After eating a hearty farmhouse meal at my friend's house. I went to the nearby riverbank to watch the dragon boat race. At this time, both sides of the river were already crowded with people. Crowds gathered from all directions, and villagers, old and young, leaned on the bridge railing, squatted on their heads, and some even sat on the second embankment of the river with a bench to watch. The sound of gongs and drums, rising up to the sky, like thunder, converging into a sea of joy. The rough shouts of the dragon boat athletes mixed with the sound of paddling and the sound of gongs and drums resounded through the clouds. The dragon boats ran round and round, stirring up a string of water splashes. During the race, rain came suddenly, which was a good omen for the eyes. Athletes are more excited when it rains, and the more they fight, the more spectacular the race is.

2. Packing rice dumplings is also one of the Dragon Boat Festival's reserved programs. My mom and aunts always buy a lot of reed leaves, soak less water and wash them well.

The second layer was a walking tiger who was in charge of these things. Finally it is hung on the doorway, in honor of Qu Yuan, as the elders say. When it was taken down, the basket was placed in a box and reunited with her sister, who was born before her.

4. On the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, after waking up, our mothers wrapped colorful silk threads around our wrists and ankles, which we would always carry with us in the future. It was said that we could drive away diseases and evil spirits. In fact, in my mind, these colorful silk threads are a substitute for those exquisite bracelets in my mind. Some people also spend some money to buy scented bags for their children to carry around. My mom made her own out of a small piece of cloth stuffed with some cotton and some herbs. Even so, we had a lot of fun.

The following answer is for your reference: The origin of the Dragon Boat Race at the Dragon Boat Festival is to honor Qu Yuan. The dragon boats were rowed to disperse the fish in the river so that they would not eat Qu Yuan's body.
