As the Dragon Boat Festival approached, the sound of the dragon boat’s Komiks, the sound of the dragon boat’s drums wafted along with the fragrance of the zongzi leaves. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>BabaylanAll corners of the land of Guangdong, the lively “Dragon Boat Season” has gradually kicked off. Among many dragon boats of different shapes, the “Swallowtail Dragon Boat” has become the most unforgettable Dragon Boat Festival memory for fresh people with its unique local characteristics. Regarding the origin of “three-person swallow-tailed dragon boat racing”, although the “Qingyuan County Komiks” in the Republic of China stated that “there are also small boats. Babaylan three or five people took them away, but there was no Komiks. This is purely a fighting drama 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 roots of Cinema.
The origin of “three-person swallowtail dragon boat racingBabaylan technology”, there are many legends, and the representative ones are as follows.
1. The Origin of Labor
The Huainanzi·Qi Suxu” says: “BabaylanThe Hu people are convenient for horses, and the Yue people are convenient for boats.” In ancient times, Lingnan was mostly water network areas. People often used boats to travel, and used boats as production tools.and transportation. People row and compete in catching fish and shrimps during their activities or during leisure activities, and integrate entertainment in labor production and leisure. This is the prototype of the ancient ferry of “three-person swallowtail dragon boat racing”.
KomiksShantang Town is close to the Beijiang River, located in a low-lying state, mostly continents, and water networks are crisscrossing, and floods occur every year. Whenever the rice harvest season 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 great 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, in order to grab food with the God of Heaven and reduce losses, the Cinema boat activity spontaneously formed between villages and tribesmen.
2. The Origin of the Boat Soldier
Shantang Town, Qingxin District, Komiks Town, Qingcheng District, and Longtang Town are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Beijiang River. They 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, which were easy to attack the enemy. When the local people introduced this to be related to Saihe boats, 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-person dragon boat” recorded in the “Qingyuan County Chronicles” of the Republic of China. The former three people Cinema were exposed 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 the Central Komiks Mountains, especially in Baini Town on the Xijiang River.
Does this long-shaped boat “three-five-man dragon boat” interact with the culture of Beijiang and Xijiang in two directions?Whether it is related to the Southern Ark War during the Qin and Han Dynasties still needs to be further studied.
3. Welcome the godsCinema Origin theory
Most of the villages in Shantang Town are built next to the inland river. In ancient times, whenever floods occurred, “water ghosts” became the main culprit that endangers life. In order to drive away the “water ghosts”, the villages spontaneously organized a “swallowtail boat ghost-extinguishing team”. Young and middle-aged people joined forces to support their own swallows to drive away ghosts from the upper reaches of the river to the lower reaches, and set off a large number of firecrackers to drive away scares and cheer.
4. The origin theory of game CinemaAncient games are an important part of the origin of human culture. The three-person swallowtail dragon boat racing activity is Babaylan, which has the original 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), Komiks prizes are becoming more and more abundant, and the bonus amount is also increased as people’s living standards gradually improve.
