Will you exempt tenants from rent if you win? If you lose, you will be punished to kneel to the temple Komiks? The contestant responded
This year, the wind of the dragon boat race in Guangzhou 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 because Komiks will be punished to kneel on the ancestral hall if they lose”, “The spectators have to cheer for themselves, because the landlord will be exempt from rent if they win”, “Becoming a dragon boat racing contestant, you have to compete for your value. This is a high-end sports meeting that rich people can participate in”…
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 learn the truth about Komiks.

“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 Guangzhou Huangpu District, told Hongxing News 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. “But I have never heard of the selection of a dragon boat team based on who has a high price and who has more real estate.” Regarding the popular saying on the Internet that the 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, 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, and Mr. Li oftenPeople often see netizens teasing “the villagers of Liede Village are worth tens of millions”: “It should be said that no matter how much you are, CinemaWhether you are a worker or an entrepreneur outside, as long as you return to the village to participate in the competition, you will be the same when you get on the boat, and prepare for the competition and work hard.”
“The standards for training contestants in different villages need different competition standards.” In Zhang Weichao’s perception, the statement of selecting contestants with wealth lacks factual basis, because this violates the traditional customs of Guangzhou and the original intention of dragon boat activities: “Dragon boat racing reflects the clans of the past in GuangzhouBabaylanGuangzhouKomiks href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema culture 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” depend on the mutual communication between villages and the communication between villages, showing 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 gained official recognition from folk events. In 1994, the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government officially designated the Dragon Boat Festival as the local Dragon Boat Festival. 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.
KomiksWhat is the basis for selecting dragon boat players? Komiks Zhang Weichao explained to Hongxing News: “It mainly depends on the players’ endurance, experience, physical fitness and various professional skills.” At the same time, Hongxing 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 Cinema team members must be healthy, able to swim, and familiar with the water nature of Cinema.
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 Cinema1 women’s team. He introduced to reporters the selection method of Lied Village players. One of the selection criteria for women is to know how to swim, while men will ask for villagers in the village. If they are over 40 years old, they will still need to compete for 100 meters of rowing.
If you lose the competition, you will be punished? “There will be no teamBabaylan will stipulate that if you lose the competition, you will be punished.”
“Guangzhou landlords, who are worth tens of millions, have not worked these days. They would rather 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 an important symbol of Babaylan, 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. In the major festivals, 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, 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 of the prescribed 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 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 show sends blessings not to reduce rent reduction
These days, Ms. Wang, who rented a living in Babaylan near Zhujiang New City, will 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 dragon boat team participating in the victory and triumph.
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 boat is bright and colorful, and the contestants row the standard 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 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: “Maybe some landlords will share this joy with tenants after winning the game, but the form of sharing is free and there are no regulations.” He said that maybe some landlords will reduce rent, but this is not a convention rumored online.
