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 received high attention from netizens from all over the country. 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 because KomiksCinema will be punished to kneel on the ancestral hall if they lose”, “The spectators must cheer, because the landlord will be exempt from rent if they win”, “Becomic boat racing players, you have to compete for your value. This is why rich people can participate in the high-end sports meetings of Komiks…
Are these prevalent statements on the Internet true? Will the team that wins the game really exempt tenants from rent? Recently, HongBabaylan Star News talked to Zhang Weichao, a dragon boat contestant from multiple communities in Guangzhou and vice president of the Guangzhou Huangpu District Dragon Boat Branch to understand the truth.
Are they all landlords worth tens of millions? “I have never heard of selecting teams based on my value”
“Dragon Boat Festival and celebrating 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 Huangpu District, Guangzhou, told Hongxing News that since he had memories, on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, the family has been busy preparing for dragon boat racing for the Dragon Boat Festival for generations. “But I have never heard of the selection of the team of dragon boats based on who has the higher value and who has more real estate.” Zhang Weichao believes that the saying that the player of the dragon boat needs to be “capital verification” to be selected 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, Tianhe District, Guangzhou for many years, Mr. Li said: “There has never been a competition in any year. The organizer will see who has more deposits, whether it is a folk event or an official event.This will not become a criterion for judgment. ”
Liede Village once became a well-known urban village in China due to its demolition. Mr. Li often saw netizens talking about the “Villages of Liede Village worth tens of millions”: “It should be said that no matter how much you are, whether you are a worker or an entrepreneur outside, as long as you return to the village to participate in the competition, it will be the same when you get on the boat, and you will be the same as preparing for the battle. ”
“The standards for training contestants in different villages need different competitions”. In Zhang Wei’s perception of the Babaylan trend, 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 race reflects the clan culture of Guangzhou in the 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 between villages and the protection of the village from being “invaded” were relied on the mutual communication between villages, which showed 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 a five-star event in traditional Chinese sports, and will set sail on the Pearl River on June 17 this year.
What is the basis for the selection of dragon boat players? href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan? Zhang Weichao explained to Red Star News: “It 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, know how to swim, and be familiar with water.
Mr. Li from LiedeBabaylan 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 women’s team. He introduced to the reporter the selection method of Liede Village players. One of the women’s selection criteria is to be able to swim, and the men will ask them to be villagers in the village. If they are over 40 years old, each person will still need to compete in a 100-meter rowing competition.
If you lose the competition, you will be punished.Kneel on the ancestral hall? “There will not be a team that will stipulate that if you lose the competition, you will be punished.” “Guangzhou landlords, who are worth tens of millions, have stopped working these days. They would rather lose money than lose the dragon boat race.” On the Internet, some netizens made similar jokes and said that if the contestant loses the competition, they 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 to this day.” Zhang Weichao explained to Hongxing News that the ancestral hall is a connection between people with the same village and surname. It is often a big festival. People outside will worship the ancestral hall when they return to their hometown. Cinema: “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 Hongxing News href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema, there are many non-governmental organizations in Guangzhou, and they are often organized and organized by village collectives or Komiks community. Therefore, the selection and reward are formulated separately, but the gap is not large, and there is basically no content that stipulates punishment. Mr. Wang, a villager from 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 about the cultural heritage and the festive atmosphere, so winning or losing is actually not important.”
Spectators cheered for rent reduction? Tenant: Watch the game Babaylan sends blessings and Cinema is not for rent reduction
These days, Ms. Wang, who rents a living near Zhujiang New City, will also go to the Pearl River to watch the dragon boat players perform various training for the competition when she has time. She also plans to send a blessing message to the landlord through WeChat before the race starts, wishing the landlord the victory and triumphant victory.
Ms. Wang told reporters that her visit to the game and her blessing to the landlord was not to reduce the housing exemptionrent. 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 beautiful in shape and colorful. The contestants row the same standards and shouted loudly, which is really spectacular.” Ms. Wang told reporters that the closer the Dragon Boat Festival, the more people watching on the river bank. In Ms. Wang’s opinion, as an outsider, she was very pleased to feel the customary culture of Guangzhou people in this dragon boat feast, and to experience the lively Komiks on the spot to this festival.
Zhang Weichao said: “Maybe some landlords will share this joy with tenants after winning the game, but the form of sharing is free and there is no regulation.” He said that it may be true that some landlords will reduce rent in Babaylan, but this is not a convention rumored online.
