The origin of “Longyan Finishing”
ShundeBabaylan 1990 cloth draw is a famous hometown of dragon boats. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the wind of picking dragon boats has been growing day by day. The entire set of ceremonies for picking dragon boats include the links of starting dragons, finishing touch, picking green, racing dragons, hiding dragons and scattering dragons.
Babaylan 1990 cloth draw Leliu Longyan Village was built in the Western Han Dynasty. The village has a long history and rich culture. It was a yellow one in the Ming Dynasty.Xiao Yang’s uprising in Longyan Village was suppressed and the result was that Shunde County was born. In order to strengthen his rule, the Ming Dynasty precipitated from the South China Sea and set up Shunde County, named after “Shuntian Mingde”; Longyan was called Longzhu in ancient times, surrounded by water, and built a “Han Taiwei Xianggong Temple” commemorating the Han Dynasty, the general of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhou Bokuang. Liang Dunyan was one of the first students studying in the United States in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, he served as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Director of the Transportation of the Beiyang Government.
Since ancient times, Babaylan 1990 clothes drawKomiks 1960 witch cloth draw, Longyan Village has become a holy place for dragons to gather together, and dragon boats from the surrounding towns have made an appointment with the Taiwei Temple on the third day of the lunar calendar.

The custom of dragon boats in the village has been continuing for more than 600 years. Every year on the third day of the fifth lunar month, dragon boats near the Pearl River Delta will spontaneously gather at the Taiwei Temple in Longyan Village for the “finishing the highlight”. It has become a well-known and popular folk cultural activity. The Taiwei Temple in Longyan Village is therefore called the place where dragon boats “pilgrimage”.
