Where is the custom of dragon boat racing?

Dragon boat race is the custom of the southern Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon boat race is an important program of Dragon Boat Festival in China. According to legend, when Qu Yuan jumped into the Yuanjiang River, people used boats to salvage it, and later formed the custom of dragon boat racing. Dragon boat race in Xiangxi is a lively activity. In order to prepare for the dragon boat race, we started making dragon boats in February of the lunar calendar. This dragon boat is used every year and will be eliminated every year, so a new one is built every year. Building a dragon boat is a technical job, but it is generally impossible. Dragon boat rowing is not fast, which accounts for one third of the reasons. This dragon boat needs to be carefully measured from beginning to end.

Then let the professionals do it. After the dragon boat is finished, it needs to be exposed to the sun, and then someone will soak it. It will take some time. In the third month of the lunar calendar, men in all villages began to seize the time to start training. Yes, they start training in March every year, so the dragon boat race is not that simple. These people have different identities, some are private bosses, some are farmers, some are in their forties and fifties, and some are just adults. Training is also very hard, and it is voluntary. The amount of training every day is about two hours. It was actually fine at first, but then the training volume began to increase.

Sometimes I train all day and run around on the water in the hot sun. They are all tanned, and they are all tanned when they go home at night. Let the family rub medicine and say that they will never go tomorrow. This dog is too old. But the next day, everyone went to training in unison, as if they had forgotten everything after a sleep. In our place, the Dragon Boat Festival is on May 15th. By 13, the villages began to pull out the dragon boat teams one after another. At this time, everyone began to compete, but this time is not the most lively time.

By the fifteenth, all the dragon boats will gather on the lake, and the scene is very spectacular. And the people on the shore are also a sea of people. Because the lake is not that wide, the elimination system is implemented. The dragon boat galloped on the river, and it took more than two months of hard work for that moment. They really like rowing dragon boats.
