Huizhou Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Race
Dragon Boat Festival is called "May Festival" by Huizhou folks. Dragon boat race is called "Dragon Boat Festival" by Huizhou folks.
In Huizhou, there is a folk song: "May Festival, Dragon Boat, Dragon Drum Ring, Riverside".
Every year from the first day to the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, Huizhou holds a traditional dragon boat race, which has been popular for thousands of years.
During the "May Festival" of the lunar calendar every year, Huizhou is full of rivers, and the "Dragon Boat Water" makes the dragon fleets in various streets (villages) more interested.
In the past May Festival, the dragon fleet that completed the pre-competition ceremony held dragon boat races in batches along the river on the Dongjiang River.
The dragon boat race first goes downstream, then goes upstream, and finally sprints to decide whether to win or lose.
Most of the prizes are gardeners (hanging the whole cloth with bamboo ropes and covering it with paper towels), and the winners are mostly local Yin merchants.
The winner put "Huajiang" on the bow and went up the river as a glory.
