The sports spirit of dragon boat racing is as follows:
First, dragon boat racing contains a profound spirit of patriotism. There are different opinions on the origin of the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival. Some say it commemorates Qu Yuan, some commemorates Cao E, and some commemorates Wu Zixu. But most people agree with the theory of commemorating Qu Yuan. For thousands of years, Qu Yuan's patriotism has been influencing future generations.
Therefore, people use dragon boat racing to commemorate Qu Yuan and commemorate his patriotic enthusiasm for caring about the country and the people. This patriotic spirit embodies the core connotation of the Chinese national spirit. Dragon boat racing promotes and inherits this patriotic feeling in the form of collective activities.
Second, dragon boat racing contains an innovative spirit that keeps pace with the times. Dragon boat racing has a long history of development in my country. Today's dragon boat racing has been greatly improved compared with traditional dragon boat racing. In addition to the shape and structure of dragon boats that have been changing, the team members and technical levels of dragon boat racing are also constantly improving. .
Thirdly, dragon boat racing contains the sense of being cautious about pursuing the future and remembering the ancestors. The inheritance and development of dragon boat racing is not only because we hope to commemorate and learn from Qu Yuan’s patriotic spirit of adhering to the truth, perseverance, and concern for the country and the people, but more importantly, we hope to have a grateful heart and be grateful for China Ancestors who have made important contributions to the development of the nation.
Fourth, dragon boat racing embodies the spirit of unity and cooperation. Since ancient times, our country has emphasized "harmony without difference" and seeking common ground while reserving differences. Dragon boat racing, as a collective competitive activity involving many people, requires more unity and cooperation among individuals. The cooperative spirit of unity and advancement is also of great significance in modern times. It promotes friendly cooperation and solidarity and mutual assistance between us and other countries around the world, and continuously improves our country's international status.
