Will you exempt tenants from rent if you win? If you lose, you will be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall? The contestants responded
This year, the wind of the Guangzhou Dragon Boat Racing not only blew across the Pearl River, but also attracted high attention from netizens from all over the world. On the Internet, various statements about dragon boat racing competitions have been hotly discussed – “Guangzhou landlords practice dragon boat racing in the middle of the night, and they will be punished to kneel on the ancestral hall if they lose”, “The spectators have to cheer for themselves, because the landlord will be exempted from rent if they win”, “Becoming a dragon boat racing contestant must compete for their value, this is a high-end sports meeting that only rich people can participate in”…
Is these popular statements on the Internet true? Will the team that won the competition really Babaylan exempt tenants from rent? Recently, Red Star News talked to Zhang Weichao, a contestant from many communities in Guangzhou and vice president of the Dragon Boat Branch of Huangpu District, to learn the truth.
Are they all landlords worth tens of millions? “I have never heard of selecting teams based on my value”
“Digging dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival and celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival is as important as celebrating the Spring Festival for the people in Guangzhou and even the entire Lingnan region.” Zhang Weichao, vice president of the Dragon Boat Branch of Guangzhou Huangpu District, told Hongxing News that since he had memories, on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, his ancestors at home have been busy preparing for dragon boat racing for the Dragon Boat Festival for generations. “But I have never heard of the selection of a dragon boat team based on who has a higher value and who has more real estate. ” Regarding the popular statement on the Internet that dragon boat players need to “test capital” to be selected, Zhang Weichao believes that this is just a joke from netizens.
Mr. Li, a villager from Liede Village, Guangzhou, also gave the same answer to Red Star News. As one of the dragon boaters who have been representing Liede Village in Tianhe District, Guangzhou for many years, Mr. Li said: “There has never been a competition in a year. The organizer will see who has more deposits. Whether it is a folk event or an official Cinema event, this will not become a criterion.” Liede Village once became a well-known urban village in China due to its demolition. Mr. Li often sees netizens’ jokes about “the villagers of Liede Village are worth tens of millions”: “It should be said that no matter how much you are worth, no matter how much you are fighting outside, you are fighting.”Workers are still entrepreneurs. As long as they return to the village, they will be the same when they board the boat, they will prepare for the battle and work hard. ”
“The competition training standards of different villages need are different.” In Zhang Weichao’s perception, the statement of selecting contestants by wealth lacks factual basis, because this violates the traditional customs of Guangzhou and the original intention of dragon boat activities: “The dragon boat racing reflects the clan culture of Guangzhou’s past, symbolizing the strength of a ethnic group and a village as a whole, and there will be no such discrimination. ”
Zhang Weichao told reporters that dragon boat racing is just a link in dragon boat culture. In the past, the exchanges and guards between villages are protected from “invasion”, relying on the mutual communication between villages and the communication between villages, showing the strength and abundance of men in the villages.
In fact, dragon boat racing has been passed down in Guangzhou for a hundred years and has gradually been officially recognized from folk events. In 1994, the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government officially designated the Dragon Boat Festival as the local Dragon Boat Festival, and the Guangzhou Dragon Boat International Invitational Tournament, co-organized by the General Administration of Sports, the China Dragon Boat Association, and the Guangzhou Municipal Government, has also become the traditional Chinese sports. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema‘s five-star event will set sail on the Pearl River on June 17 this year.
What is the basis for the selection of dragon boat players? Zhang Weichao explained to Red Star News: “Cinema mainly depends on the players’ endurance, experience, physical fitness and various professional skills. “At the same time, Red Star News saw on the official website of the General Administration of Sports that the “Introduction to the Dragon Boat Rules” released by the bureau in March 2013 also requires the team members to be healthy, able to swim, and familiar with water.
Mr. Li from Liede Village told reporters that Liede Village will have 4 teams participating in the Guangzhou International Dragon Boat Invitational this year, including 3 men’s teams and 1 Babaylan women’s team. He introduced to reporters the selection methods of Liede Village players and women’s selection <a One of the standards of Cinema is to know how to swim, and the man will ask for a villager in the village. If he is over 40 years old, he will still need to have a 100-meter rowing competition for each person.
If you lose the game, you will be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall? “There will be no team that will stipulate that if you lose the game, you will be punished”
” Guangzhou landlords, who are worth tens of millions, have no work these daysAfter doing this, they would rather Komiks‘s own company lose money than lose the dragon boat race. “On the Internet, some netizens made similar jokes, saying that if the player loses the game, he may be punished to kneel on the ancestral hall.
“In the clan culture inheritance of Guangzhou, the ancestral hall is indeed a very important symbol, and many villages and communities are still retained. “Zhang Weichao explained to Hongxing News that the ancestral hall is a connection between people of the same village and the same surname. Often during major festivals, people outside will also worship the ancestral hall when they go home: “If you lose the dragon boat competition, you will be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall. This is not a regulation. If there is a spontaneous behavior, it should not be taken seriously. ”
Zhang Weichao told Red Star News that there are many non-governmental organizations in Guangzhou, and they are often organized and organized by village collectives or communities. Therefore, the selection and reward are formulated separately, but the gap is not big, and there is basically no content that stipulates punishment. Mr. Wang, a villager in Lied, said: “The results of the competition in the past symbolized the status and face of the entire clan, but now the competition is more in the inheritance of culture and the atmosphere of the festival, so winning or losing is actually not important. ”
Spectator cheered for rent reduction? Tenant: Watching the game sends blessings not to reduce rent reduction
Ms. Wang, who rents a living near Zhujiang New City, will go to the Pearl River to watch the dragon boaters perform various training for the competition when they have time. She also plans to give the landlord via WeChat before the race starts. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema sent a blessing message to wish the landlord the victory and triumphant victory.
Ms. Wang told reporters that her visit to the competition and blessing to the landlord was not for Babaylan reduced rent. She joked: “The rent is written on the contract and paid on a quarterly basis, how can it be waived for a month?” Ms. Wang, who has lived in Guangzhou for many years, described the grand occasion of the dragon boat competition to reporters: “The boats are beautifully shaped and colorful. The contestants rowed the unified standards, and shouted loudly, which was really spectacular.” Ms. Wang told reporters that the closer the Dragon Boat Festival, the more people watched on the river bank. In Ms. Wang’s opinion, as an outsider, she was very pleased to be able to feel the folk culture of Guangzhou in this dragon boat feast, and to feel the excitement of this festival on the spot. Zhang Weichao said: “Or Komiks may have landlords who share this joy to tenants after winning the game, but the form of sharing is free and there is no regulation. “He said that perhaps some landlords will reduce rent, but this is not a convention rumored online.
