Description of Dragon Boat Race Scene

The scene of the dragon boat race is described as follows:

There is a dragon boat race today, and some sections have been blocked by the traffic police uncle. My friends and I gathered in Gong Zhenqiao. I saw some dragon boats parked near the ticket office. We walked to the canal and came to the referee's desk. This is the starting point of the competition.

There was a sea of people near the canal, so we managed to squeeze in. Standing on the fence, I can see the whole game clearly. We came late, and all the other races were over, leaving only the 200-meter preliminaries.

I saw the dragon boat slowly passing under the bridge. Every dragon boat has a different color, and the athletes' clothes are different. Four staff members stood on the platform and caught Long Wei. The dragon boat in the province floated away. An athlete sits by the tap and plays drums. He beat the time and instructed the rowers to paddle according to the rhythm of his drums.

There are 22 athletes sitting on the belly of the dragon, holding boxes in their hands, like shovels for cooking. There is a man in the dragon's tail with a stick in his hand. He is at the helm and the direction of the dragon boat is controlled by him.

With 3 minutes left in the race, the referee gave an order: all dragon boats enter the channel. There are two minutes left in the game and the referee will call the roll. The dragon boat teams come from all corners of the country, and the referee calls the roll. Athletes shout, drummers beat drums, and winners raise prizes. At the last minute, the referee said: "Beach" team stepped forward to hold steady, and Team 2 went back to hold steady. "

The referee asked the teams to be neat, otherwise it would be unfair for them to stand in front of each other, and then the referee said, "Get ready." The athlete bowed and raised the paddle, and the bottom of the prize touched the water.

At the beginning, with the command, the drummer in front beat the drums, and the gong sounded in the middle. The winners paddled rhythmically and neatly with the drums, and the teams paddled forward desperately. At the finish line, the first team won and everyone applauded happily. I like dragon boat races, and I will come again next year.

Development history:

Since the Song Dynasty, every year from the eighth day of April to the 30th day of May in the lunar calendar, Dongguan people row and wash dragon boats, enjoy the dragon boat scenery, eat dragon boat cakes, eat dragon boat meals and sing dragon boat songs, hence the name Dragon Boat Month.

Every year, on the first day of the fifth lunar month, John Wan will hold a large-scale dragon boat championship, which is known as "the first dragon boat scene in Dongguan" and has the poem "Dragon Boat Race on the first day of May, Sailing the Wanjiang River". ?

After the first dragon boat scene in Dongguan, all localities agreed to set their own dragon boat scene days, such as Fenxi scene on May 4th, Xincheng scene on May 10th and Xincun scene on May 14th. Dragon boat races were held in villages in Wanjiang District, each with its own characteristics and the whole people participated. Until the end of the month, John Wan people were proud of being the "No.1 Dragon Boat in Dongguan", and this day has always been a traditional festival.
