The official history of "Sui book - Emperor Yang Ji" is also contained: (Daye first year in March) Geng Shen -遣黄门侍郎王弘, on the instrument with the Shi Cheng to Jiangnan pick wood, make dragon boat, phoenix 艒 (small boat), yellow dragon, red ship, building ships, such as tens of thousands of ships. In August of polyoxyethylene nonyl phenyl, on the imperial dragon boat, fortunately Jiangdu. ...... poopdeck (refers to the head and tail of the ship) connected, more than two hundred miles. Therefore, the largest dragon boat in ancient times was the dragon boat that Emperor Yang of Sui Yang took when he went down to Yangzhou in the first year of Daye (605 A.D.). Sima Guang "Ziji Tongjian" wrote about Emperor Yang's dragon boat, quoted the "Daiye Miscellany" material: 200 feet long, 50 feet wide, 45 feet high, four upper and lower floors, the center of two floors, *** there are 120 rooms, all decorated with gold and jade, dragon head and phoenix tail, only the fiberglass man was used 1080 people. A poem says:

The supreme command and other wind and thunder, ten thousand dragon boat a word open. The first time I saw this was when I was in the middle of the night, when I was in the middle of the night, when I was in the middle of the night.

My son's expedition to Liaodong, starved to death under the green hills. I've been starving under the sky, and there is no food on the road. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep my body safe for the next three thousand miles! Cold bones resting on deserted sand, ghosts weeping for tobacco. I am sad to lose my wife, and look forward to the end of my family's old age. I am glad to find a righteous man to burn the body of a man without a master. I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it, and I'm going to be able to do it.

But Emperor Yang sat on the dragon boat leisurely, and to "Pan Dragon Boat" as the title of the poem for fun:

The six bridges are stopping at a hundred feet, and I am not going to stop singing and hitchhiking in the mountains. How is it like the land between the palms of Jiangdong, and how can I say that I have traveled to Jianli alone?
