Basic situation of dragon boat race:

Dragon boat race is an ancient folk activity in China, and it is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional festival of the Han nationality. It originated in Zhejiang, and was originally a festival for China people to get rid of diseases and prevent epidemic. Before the Spring and Autumn Period in Wuyue, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

After the poet Qu Yuan died on this day, it became a traditional festival custom for the Han people in China to commemorate Qu Yuan, and it was also one of the representatives of the Han dragon totem culture. The habit of competition prevailed in wuyue and Chu.

Folk dragon boat race is an important activity of Dragon Boat Festival, which is very popular and valued in the south of China (with few rivers in the north). According to experts' research, it originated from the dragon totem sacrifice of wuyue tribes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

Dragon boat race is a traditional folk water sports and entertainment project in China, which has spread for more than two thousand years and is popular in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, Shaanxi, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Fujian, Guangdong, Hong Kong and other places. Most of them are held on festive festivals, and it is a multi-person collective rowing competition.

According to historical records, the dragon boat race started in memory of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. It can be seen that dragon boat racing is not only a kind of sports and entertainment, but also reflects the patriotism and collectivism in people's hearts. The size of dragon boats varies from place to place.
