The lively “Dragon Boat Season” is gradually falling. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks gradually kicked off. Among the many dragon boats of different shapes, the “Swallowtail DragonCinema boat” has become the most unforgettable memory of fresh people with its unique local characteristics.
About the origin of “three-person swallow-tailed dragon boat racing”, although the Qingyuan County Chronicle of the Republic of China said, “There are also small boats, and three or five people cut them away, and there is no dragon shape, this is purely a play of fighting power and a legacy of Yangzhou.” However, after field investigations, it was found that its formation was related to the unique local geographical environment and folk customs.
The origin of “Three-person Swallowtail DragonCinema Boat Race”Komiks has many legends, and the representative ones are as follows.
1. The Origin of Labor
The “Huanzi·Qi Su Xun” says: “Hu people are convenient for horses, and Yue people are convenient for boats.” In ancient times, Lingnan was mostly water network areas, and people often used boats to travel, and boats were used as production tools and transportation tools. People row and compete in catching fish and shrimps or leisure, and integrate entertainment in labor production and leisure. This is the prototype of the ancient ferry of “three-person swallowtail dragon boat racing”. Shantang Town is close to the Beijiang River and is located in a low-lying area. It is mostly located in the Babaylan continent, and is located in the water network.There are floods every year. Whenever the rice harvest season is over, it is mostly during floods. The Qingyuan County Chronicle in the sixth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty said: “The continents are baptized and drought, but they are more likely to be drought. When the rivers overflow, those who plow will suffer a lot of losses.” In order to facilitate the harvest of rice and other crops, ordinary people can only travel to the fields with a small boat and reach out to harvest rice and crops exposed to the water. Over time, Babaylan has spontaneously formed rowing activities between the villages and the villages and the tribesmen.
2. The Origin of the Boat Soldier
Shantang Town, Qingxin DistrictCinema, Shijiao Town and Longtang Town in Qingcheng District, are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Beijiang River and are the throat of the waterway. During field surveys, we listened to local old people telling stories, saying that this kind of small boat was a boat that sailors (boat soldiers) used to ride in the old days. There were few people and fast boats, and it was easy to attack the enemy. The locals introduced that this was related to the Saihe boat, and it was also related to the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han army heading south to attack Nanyue through the Xijiang River.
The fresh “three-person swallow-tailed dragon boat” is similar to the “five-person dragon boat” in the Pearl River Delta in terms of boat shape, materials and competitive methods, and is the same as the “three-five people are scattered” in the Republic of China version of the Qingyuan County Cinema. The former three people were exposed to them and were active in the middle and lower reaches of the Beijiang River. The latter group is in groups of five, and is popular in Foshan and Zhongshan areas, especially in Baini Town on Xijiang.
Whether this long-shaped boat “three-five-man dragon boat” is related to the two-way interaction and exchange of cultures in Beijiang and Xijiang, and whether it is related to the Southern Ark soldiers during the Qin and Han dynasties, it still needs to continue to conduct in-depth research.
3. Welcome BabaylanKomiksThe Origin Theory of the Gods and Delivering Ghosts
Most of the villages in Shantang Town are built next to the inland river. In ancient times, every time Komiks was flooded, the “water ghost” became the main culprit that endangers life. Cinema In order to drive away the “water ghosts”, the villages spontaneously organized a “dwatching team of ghosts”. Young and middle-aged people joined the battle, supporting their own dowatching boats from the upper reaches of the river to the lower reaches of the Komiks, and set off firecrackers to drive away firecrackers to drive away and cheer.
4. The Origin of Games
Ancient games were an important part of the origin of human culture. The three-person swallowtail dragon boat racing event has the initial game elements. Locals often use the word “play”. It means “playing and picking dragon boats”, and the “playing” in it reflects the psychology of the game. Game prizes have also changed to competitive prizes. In order to mobilize the motivation to participate in games (competitiveness), the prizes are becoming more and more abundant, and the amount of prizes is also increasing as people’s living standards gradually improve.
