Will you exempt tenants from rent if you win? If you lose, you will be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall? The contestants responded
This year, the wind of the Guangzhou Dragon Boat Racing not only blew across the Pearl River, but also attracted high attention from netizens from all over the country. On the Internet, various statements about dragon boat racing competitions have been hotly discussed – “Guangzhou landlords practice dragon boat racing in the middle of the night, because they lose the dragon boat competition, they will be punished to kneel on the ancestral hall.” “The spectators have to cheer, because the landlord won the meeting, and they have to be exempted from rent.” “Becoming a dragon boat racing contestant, you have to compete for your value. This is a high-end sports meeting that rich people can participate in”… Are these popular statements on the Internet true? Will the team that wins the game really exempt tenants from rent? Recently, Red Star News talked to Zhang Weichao, a contestant from many communities in Guangzhou and vice president of the Dragon Boat Branch of Huangpu District, to understand the truth.
Are they all landlords worth tens of millions? “I have never heard of selecting teams based on my value”
“Dragon Boat Festival and celebrating Dragon Boat Festival is as important as celebrating the Spring Festival for the people in Guangzhou and even the entire Lingnan region.” Zhang Komiks, vice president of the Dragon Boat Branch of Guangzhou Huangpu District, told Hongxing News that since he had memories, on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, the family has been busy preparing for dragon boat racing for many years. “But I have never heard of the selection of a dragon boat team based on who has a higher value and who has more real estate properties.” Zhang Weichao believes that the saying that dragon boat players need to “test capital” to be selected is just a joke from netizens.
Mr. Li, a villager from Liede Village, Guangzhou, also gave the same answer to Red Star News. As one of the dragon boaters who have been representing Liede Village, Tianhe District, Guangzhou for many years, Mr. Li said: “I have never had a year of competition. The organizer will see who has more deposits, whether it is a folk event or an official event.It will not become a criterion of judgment. ”
Liede Village once became a well-known urban village in China due to demolition. Mr. Li often saw netizens teasing “The villagers of Liede Village are worth tens of millions”: “It should be said that no matter how much you are, no matter how much you are a worker or an entrepreneur outside, as long as you return to the village to participate in the competition, it will be the same when you get on the boat, and you will prepare for the battle and work hard. ”
“The criteria for training contestants that different villages need are different in competitions. In Zhang Weichao’s perception, the statement of selecting contestants by wealth lacks factual basis, because this violates the Guangzhou Monopoly Customs and the original intention of dragon boat activities: “Dragon boat racing reflects Guangzhou’s past clan culture, symbolizing the strength of a ethnic group and a village as a whole, and there will be no such discrimination. ”
Zhang Weichao told reporters that dragon boat racing is just a link in dragon boat culture. In the past, the exchanges between villages and the protection of the village from being “invaded” were carried out by Komiks is the mutual communication between the dragon boats between villages, showing the strength and abundance of the men in the village.
In fact, the dragon boat race has been passed down in Guangzhou for a hundred years and has gradually been officially recognized from folk events. In 1994, the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government officially designated the Dragon Boat Festival as the local Dragon Boat Festival, and the Guangzhou Dragon Boat International Invitational Tournament, co-organized by the General Administration of Sports, the China Dragon Boat Association, and the Guangzhou Municipal Government, has also become a five-star event in traditional Chinese sports, and will set sail on the Pearl River on June 17 this year.
What is the basis for selecting dragon boat players? Zhang Weichao explained to Hongxing News: “It mainly depends on the endurance, experience, physical fitness and href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks various professional skills. “At the same time, Red Star News saw on the official website of the General Administration of Sports that the “Introduction to the Dragon Boat Rules” released by the bureau in March 2013 also requires the team members to be healthy, able to swim, and familiar with the water nature. Mr. Li from Liede Village told reporters that there will be 4 soldiers in Liede Village this year. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan team participated in the Guangzhou International Dragon Boat Invitational, including 3 men’s teams and 1 women’s team. He introduced to reporters the selection method of Liede Village players. One of the women’s selection criteria is to know how to swim, while the men will ask for villagers in the village. If they are over 40 years old, each person will need to compete 100 meters.
If you lose the competition, you will be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall? “No, there will be noThe team will stipulate that the Guangzhou landlords who lost the competition will be punished” “Babaylan, who are worth tens of millions, have stopped working these days. They would rather lose money than lose the dragon boat race. “On the Internet, some netizens made similar jokes and Babaylan said that if the player loses the game, he may be punished to kneel on the ancestral hall.
“In the clan culture inheritance of Guangzhou, the ancestral hall is indeed a very important symbol, and many villages and communities are still retained. “Zhang Weichao explained to Hongxing News that the ancestral hall is a connection between people with the same village and surname. It is often a big festival. People outside will also worship the ancestral hall when they return to their hometown: “If you lose the dragon boat competition, you will be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall. This is not a regulation. If there is one, it is also a spontaneous behavior and should not be taken seriously. ”
Zhang Weichao told Red Star News that there are many non-governmental organizations in Guangzhou, and they are often organized and organized by village collectives or communities. Therefore, the selection and reward are formulated separately, but the gap is not big, and there is basically no content that stipulates punishment. Mr. Wang, a villager in Lied, said: “The results of the competition in the past symbolized the location and face of the entire clan, but now the competition is more about the inheritance of culture and the festive atmosphere than the Babaylan, so winning or losing is actually not important. ”
Spectator cheered for rent reduction? Tenant: Watching the game sends blessings not to reduce the priceBabaylanRent-free
These days, Ms. Wang, who rents a living near Zhujiang New City, will also go to the Pearl River to watch the dragon boaters perform various training for the competition when she has time. She also plans to send a blessing message to the landlord through WeChat before the start of the race, wishing the landlord the victory and triumph of the dragon boat team that the landlord participated in.
Ms. Wang told reporters that she went to watch the competition and wished the landlord a happy victory. Cinema is not for rent reduction. She joked: “The rent is written on the contract and paid on a quarterly basis, how can it be waived for a month?” Ms. Wang, who has lived in Guangzhou for many years, described the grand occasion of the dragon boat competition to reporters: “The boats are beautifully shaped and colorful, and the contestants row the same standard. The shouts of Komiks are shocking, it’s really spectacular.” Ms. Wang told reporters that the closer the Dragon Boat Festival, the more people watching on the river bank. In Ms. Wang’s opinion, as an outsider, she was very pleased to feel the folk culture of Guangzhou in this dragon boat feast, and to feel the lively Komiks during this festival.
Zhang Weichao said: “Maybe some landlords will share this joy with tenants after winning the game, but the form of sharing is free and there are no regulations.” He said that maybe some landlords will reduce rent, Babaylan, but this is not a convention rumored online.
