The origin of “Longyan Finishing”
Shunde 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 of picking dragon boats include the links of starting dragons, finishing touch, picking green, racing dragons, hiding dragons and scattering dragons.
Luo Longyan Village was built in the Western Han Dynasty. The village has a long history and is full of cultural heritage. Huang Xiaoyang of the Ming Dynasty revolted in the Longyan Village area. The result of being suppressed was the birth of Shunde County. In order to strengthen its 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 support of the Han Dynasty by Zhou Bokuang, a general of the Western Han Dynasty. 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, Longyan Village has become a holy place for dragons to gather together. Dragon boats in the surrounding towns have made an appointment to gather at the Taiwei Temple on the third day of the fifth lunar month to light up the dragon head. Therefore, “Longzhu” is gradually replaced by “Longyan”, and the place name of Longyan Village has also come. When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, the dragon boats from all over the Pearl River Delta come to Longyan Village to focus on the finishing touch before the official dragon boat race, especially the new dragon boats are launched. It is said that the dragon boats with cinnabar have a spirituality, and the speed is very vigorous, which is similar to the finishing touch of the dragon. Otherwise, it will drag the mud and even have the risk of turning over.

The elders who presided over the ceremony waited in the temple early in the morning to gather together to celebrate the finishing touch of the dragons from all directions. On that day, the village also invited opera troupes to entertain themselves. Relatives and friends from all over the world came back to visit relatives and friends, and had a banquet and a happy drink. The “finishing eyes” was more lively than any traditional festival.
