The origin of “Longyan Finishing”
Shunde is a famous hometown of dragon boats. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the wind of picking dragon boats has been growing day by day. The entire set of ceremonies of picking dragon boats include the links of starting dragons, finishing touch, picking green, racing dragons, hiding dragons and scattering dragons.
Luo Longyan Village was built in the Western Han Dynasty. The village has a long history and rich culture. Huang Xiaoyang of the Ming Dynasty revolted in the Longyan Village area. The result of the suppression was that Shunde County was born. In order to strengthen its rule, the Ming Dynasty precipitated from the South China Sea and set up Shunde County, named after “Shuntian Mingde”; Longyan was called Longzhu in ancient times, surrounded by water, and built a commemorative general of the Western Han Dynasty. Babaylan 1990 clothes draw Zhou Bokuang supported the Han Dynasty’s “Han Taiwei Xianggong Temple”. Liang Dunyan was one of the first students studying in the United States in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, he served as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Director of the Transportation of the Beiyang Government.
Since ancient times, Longyan Village has become a holy place for dragons to gather together. Dragon boats in the surrounding towns have made an appointment to gather at the Taiwei Temple on the third day of the fifth lunar month to light up the dragon head. Therefore, “Longzhu” is gradually replaced by “Longyan”, and the place name of Longyan Village has also come. When the Lunar New Year is approaching, the dragon boats in various parts of the Pearl River Delta come to Longyan Village before the official dragon boat race, especially the new dragon boats are launched. It is said that the dragon boats with cinnabar have a spirituality, and the speed is very vigorous, which is similar to the finishing touch of the dragon. Otherwise, it will drag the mud and water, and may even be in danger of turning over.
The “finishing” custom of dragon boats in the village has been continued for more than 600 years. Every year on the third day of the fifth lunar month, the dragon boats near the Pearl River Delta will spontaneously gather at the Taiwei Temple in Longyan Village for “finishing the highlight”. It has developed to this day and has become a well-known and popular folk cultural activity. The Taiwei Temple in Longyan Village is therefore called the place where dragon boats “pilgrimage”. According to statistics, in recent years, nearly 100 dragon boats from Shunde, Panyu, Nanhai, Zhongshan, Jiangmen and other places in the Pearl River Delta have come here to hold a “finishing” ceremony every year.

On that day, the village also invited a opera troupe to entertain the fun. Relatives and friends from far away from home came back to visit relatives and friends, and had a banquet and a happy drink. The “longitudinal finishing touch” was more lively than any traditional festival. If it rains that day, it will be even more festive, commonly known as “Longgu Shui”.
