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,” “At a dragon boat racing player, they will be exempted from rent.” “As a dragon boat racing contestant, they have to compete for their value. This is a high-end sports meeting that only rich people can participate in”…
Komiks are these popular statements on the Internet true? Will the team that wins the game really exempt tenants from rent? Recently, Red Star News talked to Zhang Weichao, a dragon boat contestant from many 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, told Hongxingxin that since he had memories, on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, his ancestors at home were 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 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.” Liede Village once became a well-known urban village in China due to its demolition. Liede Village often sees netizens teasing “the villagers of Liede Village are worth tens of millions”: “It should be said that no matter how much you are, no matter how much you are a working person, you are a working person outside.It’s still an entrepreneur. As long as you return to the village, you will be the same when you get on the boat, you will be prepared and contribute as much as you work. “The standards for training contestants in different villages need different competitions.” In Zhang Weichao’s belief in the Cinema Cinema, the statement of selecting contestants based on the wealth of Babaylan 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 texts of Guangzhou’s past href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylanization symbolizes 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 the men in the village.
In fact, dragon boat racing has been passed down in Guangzhou for a hundred years and has gradually been officially recognized from folk events Babaylan. 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, also became China. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>CinemaThe five-star event of traditional sports 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: “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 National Sports General Administration that the “Introduction to the Dragon Boat Rules” issued by the bureau in March 2013 also required the team members to be required to bemiksBe healthy, know how to swim, and be 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 women’s team. He introduced to reporters how to select players in Liede Village. One of the selection criteria for women is to know how to swim, while the man will ask for villagers in the village. If he is over 40 years old, each person will still need to compete in a 100-meter rowing competition.
If you lose the game, you will be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall? “There will not be a team that will stipulate that if you lose the game, you will be punished.” “The landlords in Guangzhou 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 posted a joke like Cinema, saying that if the player Komiks‘s player loses the game, he may be punished to kneel on the ancestral hall.
“In the clan culture heritage of Guangzhou, the ancestral hall is indeed a very important symbol, and many villages and communities are still retained to this day. Komiks” 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: “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, you should not take it seriously.” Zhang Weichao told Hongxing News that there are many non-governmental organizations in Guangzhou, and they are often organized and organized by the village collective Komiks or the community. 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 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.”

These days, Ms. Wang, who rents a living near Zhujiang New City, will also go to the Pearl River to watch the dragon boaters 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 start of the race, wishing the landlord the victory and triumphant victory.
Ms. Wang told reporters that her visit to the game and blessings to the landlord were not to reduce 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 and unified the standards, and shouted loudly. It 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 heat during this festival on the spot. 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 perhaps some landlords will reduce rent, but this is not a convention rumored online.
