Which country is the Dragon Boat Festival?

Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Miao festival. Guizhou Miao Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional folk activity of Miao people in Shibingtaijiang River Basin of Qingshui River in southeastern China. After the Dragon Boat Festival, local Miao people will row a single dragon boat on this day. Besides dragon boat races, there are other activities such as dancing and encouraging, singing folk songs and so on.

Miao people in Guizhou have unique dragon boat shapes and competition rules. Compared with other regions, the Miao people's dragon boat race is not in the Dragon Boat Festival, but after it. Dragon boat is simple and huge, with unique style. The hull is hollowed out with three tall Chinese fir trees, and the middle one is used as the mother ship. The sub-boat and the mother boat are tied side by side with bamboo sticks, and colorful faucets are carefully carved.

Miao people row dragon boats to celebrate the success of transplanting rice seedlings and wish crops a bumper harvest, which is of great significance to drive away drought and seek rain, eliminate evil and pray for their children and grandchildren. They regard it as an honor to take part in the dragon boat race, and their relatives and friends will also prepare gifts to see them off at the riverside.
