Because Kundian wood is not weathered by the wind and the sun, dry boats generally need to be buried in the mud at the bottom of the river, which takes time to fish up; The dragon head and dragon tail are carved with camphor wood, which needs oiling, painting and coloring, and are generally stored in village ancestral halls or ethnic temples; The dragon connecting the head and tail of the trunk and the sluice board inserted above the big side are mostly made of Chinese fir to prevent the river from flowing backwards from the head, tail and side, only when the dragon boat is launched; The spoke of the ship is made of wood, which is not easy to break.
