Phoenix boat races have existed since ancient times.
"Guangdong Capsule" contains: the dragon boat hangs the doctor, and the phoenix boat worships the sky, all of which win in five days.
According to historical records, this project has never discriminated against women.
Foshan Dragon Boat Club also has a female phoenix boat. So Foshan people do not discriminate against women.
Two women's dragon boat teams from Jiujiang Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City won the 200m and 500m open races in Fuzhou International Dragon Boat Race. There is no discrimination against women in Jiujiang Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City.
It's dark in the region. You can rest!
The real problem is that the woman boarded a traditional Jiujiang dragon boat.
Traditional dragon boats are used for sacrifice. So there are many taboos: all women are not allowed to get on the dragon boat; Women are not allowed to watch the dragon boat on the bridge where it passes; In those years, men with pregnant wives and funerals at home could not participate in the dragon boat race; Dragon boat climbers are not allowed to wear shoes, slippers or umbrellas.
Why can't women board the dragon boat?
This is not discrimination against women, but protection of women.
When building a dragon boat, carpenters must fast and bathe and burn incense to worship the gods until the dragon boat race begins. There are many ceremonies, so I won't go into details.
This process actually endows the dragon boat with considerable divinity.
Even some dragon boats have shrines or temples.
Women are not allowed to board the dragon boat. In fact, it is a truth that women during pregnancy or physiological period do not enter the temple, do not incense the god of wealth, and do not touch the sacred objects enshrined at home.
A woman's body will offend the gods. Not good for yourself, not good for your family.
It is impossible for the shipowner to know who is pregnant and who will come to the moon. Therefore, all women are forbidden to board the dragon boat.
Of course, you can be an atheist and don't care. However, you can't ask others not to care. Just like shaving your head in the first month and not believing in feudal superstition, should your uncle?
After all, the dragon boat belongs to others. It's also somebody else who takes part in the competition. You can't joke about other people's lives.
Dragon boat race itself is a competitive sport with certain risks.
20 17 Two dragon boats capsized in Guilin, causing 57 people to fall into the water and 17 people were killed.
On June 3, 2022, a dragon boat was struck by lightning in Shishi River, Xiangxiang City, Xiangtan, Hunan Province.
It is understandable that people have taboos and seek peace of mind.
Jiujiang traditional dragon boat is an intangible cultural heritage project in Guangdong Province. At present, the national intangible cultural heritage project is being declared.
Intangible cultural heritage refers to all kinds of traditional cultural expressions handed down from generation to generation by people of all ethnic groups and regarded as part of their cultural heritage, as well as physical objects and places related to traditional cultural expressions.
