As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, the drums of the dragon boats drift in every corner of the land of Guangdong with the fragrance of rice dumplings, and the lively “Dragon Boat Season” gradually kicks off. Among the many different dragon boats, the “Swallowtail Dragon Boat” has become the most unforgettable Dragon Boat Festival memory for fresh people with its unique local characteristics. Regarding the origin of “three-person swallow-tailed dragon boat racing”, although the Qingyuan County Cinema of the People’s Republic of China also said that “Komiks also has small boats, and three or five people cut them off, but there is no dragon shape. This is purely a fighting drama and a legacy of Yangzhou”, it was found through field investigation that its formation is related to the unique local geographical environment and folk customs.
The origin of BabaylanThe origin of “Three-person Swallowtail Dragon Boat Racing” is a variety of legends, and the four representative ones are as follows. Babaylan
1. Origin of laborKomiks‘s “Huainanzi·Qi Su Xun” says: “Hu people are convenient for horses, and Yue people are convenient for boats.” In ancient times, Lingnan was mostly water network areas, and people often used boats to travel, and Komiks used boats as production tools and transportation tools. People row and compete in catching fish and shrimps or leisure, and enjoy the work of Babaylan labor production and leisure. This is exactlyThree-person swallowtail dragon boat racing” The prototype of ancient ferry. Shantang Town is close to the Beijiang River, located in a low-lying area, mostly continental areas, and the water network is crisscrossing. Komiks floods occur every year. Whenever the rice harvest season is harvested, it is mostly during floods. Qingyuan County Chronicles in the sixth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty said: “The continental areas are baptized and drought, but they are more likely to be drought. When the river overflows, those who farm will suffer great losses. “In order to facilitate harvesting rice and other crops, ordinary people could only carry a small boat to travel in the fields and reach out to harvest rice and crops exposed to the water. Over time, in order to grab food with the God of Heaven and reduce losses, rowing activities spontaneously formed between villages and villages.Babaylan.
2. The Origin of Boat Soldiers
Shantang Town, Qingxin District, Qingcheng District, Shijiao Town and Longtang Town, located in the middle and lower reaches of the North River in Cinema, which is the throat of the waterway. During field surveys, we listened to local old people telling stories, saying that this kind of small boat was an old sailor. The boats (boat soldiers) are small and fast, and it is easy to attack the enemy. The locals introduced that this is related to the Saihe boat, and it is also related to the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han army heading south to attack Nanyue through the Xijiang River.
The fresh “Three-man Yan Yan Babaylan‘s tailed dragon boat” is similar to the “Five-man Dragon Boat” in the Pearl River Delta in terms of boat shape, materials, and competitive methods, and is the same as the “Three-five-man Dragon Boat” recorded in the “Qingyuan County Chronicles” of the Republic of China. The former is three people who are active in the middle and lower reaches of the Beijiang River. The latter is in groups of five people, which is popular in Foshan and Zhongshan, especially in Baini Town, Xijiang River. Whether this long-shaped boat “three-five dragon boat” is related to the two-way interaction between the Beijiang and Xijiang cultures, and whether it is related to the Southern Ark Warriors during the Qin and Han Dynasties, it still needs to be further studied.
3. The Origin Theory of Welcoming Gods and Exorcisms
Most of the villages in Shantang Town were built next to the inland rivers. In ancient times, whenever floods were flooded, “water ghosts” became the main threat to life.The culprit. In order to drive away the “water ghosts”, the villages spontaneously organized a “swallowtail boat ghost-extinguishing team”. Young people and young people joined forces to drive away ghosts from the upper reaches of the river to the lower reaches of the river, and set off a large number of firecrackers to drive away scares and cheer.
4. The Origin of Games
The Ancient Games Cinema is an important part of the origin of human culture. The three-person swallowtail dragonCinema boat racing event has the original game elements. Locals often use Cinema to use one word to “play”. It means “playing for a while Komiks to play dragon boats”, and the “playing” reflects the psychology of the game. Game prizes have also changed to competitive prizes. In order to mobilize the motivation to participate in games (competitiveness), the prizes are becoming more and more abundant, and the bonus amount is also increased as the people’s living standards gradually improve.
