Anonymous users2024-02-131. The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race.
There are various theories about the origin of dragon boat racing, and there are sacrificial activities such as sacrificing Cao E, worshipping Qu Yuan, and sacrificing to the god of water or the god of dragons, and its origin can be traced back to the Warring States period. Dragon boat racing has been introduced to neighboring countries such as Japan, Vietnam and the United Kingdom, and was an official event of the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou.
"Dragon boat racing" is a custom that has existed since the Warring States period. During the Warring States Period, people rowed canoes in the shape of dragons in the sound of drums, and did a game of ferry racing to entertain the gods and people, and the dragon boat racing at this time was a semi-religious and semi-entertaining program in the ritual. In the area of the two lakes, the sacrifice of Qu Yuan is closely related to dragon boat racing.
It may be that after Qu Yuan, Cao E, Wu Zixu and others passed away, the local people also used soul boats to send their souls to be buried, so there is this custom. However, in addition to commemorating Qu Yuan, dragon boat racing has also given different meanings to people in various places.
Before the dragon boat race, you must first invite the dragon and worship the gods. For example, the Guangdong dragon boat should be taken out of the water before the Dragon Boat Festival, and after worshipping the South China Sea god in the South China Sea Temple, the dragon head and dragon tail should be installed, and then prepare for the race. And buy a pair of paper roosters and put them on the dragon boat, thinking that they can bless the safety of the boat.
Fujian and Taiwan went to the Mazu Temple to worship. Some worship the dragon head directly by the river, killing chickens and dripping blood on the dragon head, such as Sichuan, Guizhou and other individual areas.
Before the dragon boat race, various sacrifices and commemorative ceremonies will be held, generally lighting incense and candles, burning paper money, offering chickens, rice, meat, fruits, zongzi, etc. Nowadays, these superstitious ceremonies are rare, but in the past, people worshiped the dragon temple in a very serious atmosphere, praying for a good agricultural harvest, good weather, evil spirits, disasters, good luck, and blessing the safety of rowing. In people's words, "a good picture" expresses people's good wishes.
Long before Qu Yuan, there were dragon boats in Yuanling. The Yuanling dragon boat originated in ancient times, and the object of worship is the common ancestor of the various ethnic groups in Wuxi. Pan Gu once settled in the Yuanling Banxi Stone Cave, gave birth to six sons and six daughters, and the children married each other, and multiplied into six ethnic groups: Miao, Yao, Dong, Tu, She, and Li.
After Pan Gu's death, the people of the six tribes feasted the witch and invited the gods to summon his spirit. Because of the dense water in Yuanling Mountain, the sorcerer did not know where his soul fell, so he asked all ethnic groups to build a dragon boat, and searched for shouts from stream to stream, river to river, so that it evolved into the later witch worship activity of rowing to summon spirits. The Yuanling dragon boat originated 5,000 years ago, more than 3,000 years earlier than the commemoration of Qu Yuan.

Anonymous users2024-02-12The custom of dragon boat racing and eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival has long been associated with Qu Yuan.
Book Notes, Volume 137, Introduction. Ge Hong's "Hugging Puzi" Yi Wenyun: On the day Qu Yuan threw himself into Luo, people ordered the boat to welcome him.
So far, I think that the race, or the navy for the state generals, all come to watch.
Huanyu Ji" volume 145 "Huanzhou Customs" quotes "Huanyang Customs Record" cloud: Qu Yuan threw himself into the Luojiang River on May 5, and his wife sacrificed him every time he threw food.
The original dream told his wife, and all the food sacrificed was taken by Jiaolong.
The dragon is afraid of five-color silk and bamboo, so his wife takes bamboo as a dumpling and wraps it with five-color silk.
Today, they all lift five-colored silk, eat zongzi, and avoid the trouble of dragons.
The original five days sank first, and came out on the tenth day, and the Chu people rushed to save the drowning in the water, and the noise shook the Sichuan land.
The customs migrated, and then there was a race to cross.
The custom has been passed down to this day and has become a popular entertainment activity for the people.
On the first day of April every year, the dragon boat shrine ceremony is held.
Because after the boat race every year, these dragon boats always have to be erected in the ancestral halls of various ethnic groups, and now the dragon boats should be invited down to repair and paint, and then go into the water to start practicing.
So within a month, the drums were beating and could be heard everywhere.
