The Inheritance and Development of Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival was originally held for the tribes who worshipped dragon totem in Baiyue area (south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River) in ancient times. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifice in the form of dragon boat race at 3 pm in Baiyue area. According to prehistoric cultural records such as Hemudu site, canoes and wooden paddles were used in competitions as early as 7000 years or earlier.

According to textual research, the prerequisite of dragon boat race must be in the port area where there are many rivers and rice, which is the characteristic of southern China. A large number of cultural relics and archaeological studies unearthed in modern times show that as early as ancient times, Baiyue ancestors created a splendid high civilization, and ancient ancestors used "dragon" as their totem. At that time, the Dragon Boat Festival was actually a festival to worship the ancestors of dragons.
