Will you exempt tenants from rent if you win? If you lose, you will be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall? The contestants responded
This year, the wind of the Guangzhou Dragon Boat Racing 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 are hotly discussed – “Guangzhou landlords practice dragon boat racing in the middle of the night, and they will be fined for losing. “The spectators have to cheer for themselves, because the landlords will be exempted from rent if they win.” “Becoming a dragon boat racing contestant, Cinema has to compete for their 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, and explained the truth with Cinema.
All are landlords worth thousands of dollars? “I have never heard of selecting teams based on my value”
“Digging dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival and celebrating the 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 have been busy preparing for dragon boat racing for the Dragon Boat Festival for generations. “But I have never heard of the selection of a dragon boat team based on who has a higher value and who has more real estate.” Regarding the popular statement on the Internet that 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 represented Liede Village in Tianhe District, Guangzhou for many years, Mr. Li said: “There has never been a competition in any year. The organizer would 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 demolition. Mr. Li often saw netizens teasing “The villagers of Liede Village are worth tens of millions”: “It should be said that no matter how much you are, no matter how much you are, whether you are a worker or an entrepreneur, 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 you will prepare and work as well.”
“The standards for training contestants in different villages need different competitions.” 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 clan culture of Guangzhou in the past, symbolizing the overall strength of a ethnic group and a village, and there will be no such discrimination.” Zhang Weichao told reporters that dragon boat racing is only a link in dragon boat culture. In the past, the exchange between villages and villages is protected from “invasion”, which relies on the mutual communication between the dragon boats between villages. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks shows the strength and abundance of the men in this village.

In fact, the dragon boat race 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, also became a five-star event in traditional Chinese sports and will set sail on the Pearl River on June 17 this year.

Zhang Weichao explained to Hongxing News: “Babaylan 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 team members to be healthy, know how to swim, and be familiar with water. 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 1 women’s team. He introduced to reporters the selection method of Liede Village contestants. One of the selection criteria for women is to know how to swim, while the man would ask him to be a villager in the village. If he is over 40 years old, each person will still need to compete in a 100-meter rowing competition.
If you lose the game, you will be punished to kneel down in the templeHall? “There will not be a team that will stipulate that if you lose the competition, you will be punished.” “The landlords in Guangzhou who are worth tens of millions have stopped working 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 contestant loses the competition, they may be punished to kneel on the ancestral hall.
“In the clan culture inheritance of Guangzhou, the ancestral hall is indeed a very important symbol, and many villages and communities are still retained to this day.” Zhang Weichao explained to Hongxing News that the ancestral hall is a connection between people with the same village and surname. Komiks is often a big festival, and 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 Hongxing 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 way to see href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema stipulates the content of 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 cultural heritage and the festive atmosphere, so winning or losing is actually not important.”
Spectators cheered for rent reduction? Tenant: Watching the competition sends blessings not to reduce rent exemption from Babaylan these days, Ms. Wang, who rents a living near Zhujiang New City, will also go to the Pearl River to watch dragon boat selection when she has time. Cinema players are doing various training for the Cinema competition. She also plans to send a blessing message to the room through WeChat before the start of the competition, wishing the landlord to participate. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks‘s Dragon Boat Team addedWin and return triumphantly. Ms. Wang told reporters that she went to watch the Babaylan competition and her blessings to the landlord were not for rent reduction. 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 boats are beautifully shaped and colorful. The contestants rowed and unified the standards, and shouted loudly, which was really spectacular.” Ms. Wang told reporters that the closer the Dragon Boat Festival, the more people watched 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: “Or Babaylan Maybe some landlords will share this joy with the tenant after winning the game, but the form of sharing is free and there is no regulation.” He said that perhaps some landlords will reduce rent, but this is not a convention rumored online.
