The origin of “Longyan Finishing”
Shunde is a famous hometown of dragon boats. Komiks 1960 witch cloth drawSince the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the wind of picking dragon boats is growing day by day. The entire set of ceremonies for picking dragon boats include the links of starting dragons, finishing touch, picking green, racing dragons, hiding dragons and scattering dragons.
Luo Longyan Village was built in the Western Han Dynasty. The village has a long history and rich culture. Huang Xiaoyang of the Ming Dynasty revolted in the Longyan Village area. The result of the suppression was that Shun was born.Babaylan 1990 cloth drawKomiks 1960 witch cloth draw De County. In order to strengthen its rule, the Ming Dynasty precipitated from the South China Sea and set up Shunde County, named after “Shuntian Mingde”; Longyan was called Longzhu in ancient times, surrounded by water, and built a “Han Taiwei Xianggong Temple” commemorating the support of the Han Dynasty by Zhou Bokuang, a general of the Western Han Dynasty. Liang Dunyan was one of the first students studying in the United States in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, he served as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Director of the Transportation of the Beiyang Government.
Since ancient times, Longyan Village has become a holy place for dragons to gather together. The dragon boats in the surrounding four villages were arranged to meet in the fifth month of the lunar calendar. The Taiwei Temple in the third year of the lunar calendar gathered at the Taiwei Temple to light up the sun. Therefore, “Longzhu” was gradually replaced by “Longyan”, and the place name of Longyan Village came. When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, the dragon boats from all over the Pearl River Delta come to Longyan Village to make a pilgrimage before the official dragon boat race, especially the new dragon boats are launched. It is said that the dragon boats that use cinnabar are spiritual, and the speed is very vigorous, which is similar to the finishing touch. Otherwise, the Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw will drag the mud and even have the risk of turning over.
The “finishing” custom of dragon boats in the village has been extended for more than 600 years. Every year on the third day of the fifth lunar month, dragon boats near the Pearl River Delta will spontaneously gather at the Taiwei Temple in Longan for the “finishing” and have developed to this day and have become a well-known and popular folk cultural activity. The Taiwei Temple in Longyan Village is therefore called the place where dragon boats “pilgrimage”.
