Is Dragon Boat a unique culture in China?

Dragon Boat (or Dragon Boat) refers to the dragon boats in China, Viet Nam, Japan and Ryukyu, and is also a manned boat used in the Dragon Boat Festival between China and Ryukyu. Dragon boats are painted or made in the shape of Jackie Chan. Dragon boat is not only a part of China's traditional culture, but the dragon boat race developed from it has now developed into a sports activity. With the popularity of dragon boat race as a sport, it has also become the main event of this sport. Dragon Boat Festival, Lantern Festival (also known as dragon dancing and dragon lantern playing) and Dragon Head Festival on February 2 are important folk activities in Dadong Yalong Cultural District, because of the spread of Chinese culture and the large number of Chinese in Southeast Asia such as Singapore and Malaysia.

Mention the origin of dragon boat, people will naturally think of commemorating Qu Yuan.

It is also rumored that the dragon boat originated in Yuanling, northwest Hunan. In the book "Millennium Dragon Boat in Yuanling", which reflects the profoundness of China dragon boat culture and the historical origin of Yuanling dragon boat, there are 104 writers and scholars' incisive exposition on Yuanling dragon boat. These articles scientifically and systematically demonstrate the origin of Yuanling traditional dragon boat, and record the scale of Yuanling dragon boat race and the construction of the boat. Yuanling Dragon Boat originated 5,000 years ago, so it is more than 3,000 years earlier than the statement commemorating Qu Yuan.
