The reporter learned from Tangxia Shi Cun in Pengjiang District that on the day of Dragon Boat Festival, the village will hold a large-scale dragon boat race all day. Mr. Tan, the person in charge of the village, told the reporter that in the past, the village held a dragon boat friendly match every three years. But this year, the villagers all asked for the race, so they organized this large-scale dragon boat race. Because the competition is a big dragon boat, each dragon boat has more than 60 athletes, so the number of athletes in this competition alone exceeds 500. The competition time is 8: 00 am-12 and 2: 00 pm-5: 00 pm. Eight dragon boats in the village were divided into four groups, two in each group, and finally the first prize was decided.

Mr. Tan said that citizens can go to the village to watch the game. However, he reminded motorists that in order to ensure the smooth flow of the competition venue and allow more places for the public to watch, vehicles can only drive to the intersection of the village market, and citizens have to walk hundreds of meters to the competition venue to watch the game. At that time, the village will arrange security guards to maintain order at intersections and guide vehicles to park. (Wu Yanbin)

Osawa town

Xinhui district traditional dragon boat invitational tournament

Time: June 6th 12: 30.

Venue: Niulehe, osawa Town, Xinhui

The most important dragon boat race in Xinhui District this year is the traditional dragon boat invitational tournament held in Niulehe, osawa Town on June 6th (the third day of the lunar calendar) 12: 30. It is understood that the invitational tournament is jointly organized by Xinhui District Sports Bureau and osawa Town Government. There are 9 dragon boat teams participating in this competition, which are from Huicheng, Si Qian, Shuangshui, osawa and other towns (streets). It is understood that when registering, many dragon boat teams in Xinhui District indicated that they would participate in the competition, but the number of dragon boat teams participating in the competition was limited. The participating dragon boat teams are strictly selected by the organizers and have strong strength.

"Entering the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the river will rise the most at around noon 12, so the competition will be arranged at noon 12: 30." Lin, vice president of Xinhui District Dragon Boat Association, told reporters. He said that the biggest difference between this dragon boat race and the "Wansheng Cup" dragon boat race held in Yuhu every year is mainly reflected in the dragon boats used in the race. The boat used in Wansheng Cup Dragon Boat Race is a standard dragon boat provided by the organizer, with an approved number of 24 people. The boat used in this dragon boat race must be a traditional dragon boat made of Kundian wood, not ordinary Chinese fir. Because there is no limit on the number of traditional dragon boats, each dragon boat team will have different numbers, ranging from 80 to more than 60.

According to the arrangement of the competition, the nine dragon boat teams will hold an entrance ceremony before the competition, which means "Kowloon goes to sea" and parade to the audience. At that time, nine dragon boats will walk side by side on the river with different colors and spectacular scenes. After the entrance ceremony, there will be a competition. The schedule will be divided into two stages: preliminary and final. The distance between the preliminary round and the final round is1.680m (three round trips). It is worth noting that there are front and rear longmen at both ends of the waterway, each with three bamboo cards. You must hold bamboo cards in your hands during the competition, and you are not allowed to dive or knock them down with other tools. The finish line depends on manually removing them. The preliminary round is divided into three groups, and each group is divided into three teams. The top three in the preliminary round will enter the final.

"Xinhui has a tradition of rowing dragon boats, and there are about thirty or forty villages with dragon boats." Lin said that as a traditional folk activity, during the Dragon Boat Festival, most of these villages with dragon boats will hold dragon boat rowing activities in their own villages to enhance the cohesion of the villagers and enliven the festive atmosphere. For example, Niu Le Village, osawa Town will also be held from June 4th to 8th (except June 5th and 6th), and the whole village 12 villagers' groups will join the competition, and the venue will also be located in Niulehe.
