Will you exempt tenants from rent if you win? If you lose, you will be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall? This year, the wind of the Guangzhou Dragon Boat Race not only blew the Pearl River, but also attracted high attention from netizens everywhere. 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, they will be punished to kneel on the ancestral hall.” “The spectators have to cheer, because the landlord will be exempted from rent if they win.” “Becoming a dragon boat racing contestant has to compete for their value. This is a high-end sports meeting that rich people can participate in”…
Are these popular statements on the InternetKomiks true? Will the team that wins the game really exempt tenants from rent? Recently, Red Star News talked to Zhang Weichao, a dragon boat contestant from multiple communities in Guangzhou and vice president of the Guangzhou Huangpu District Dragon Boat Branch to learn the truth.
Are they all landlords worth tens of millions? “I have never heard of selecting teams based on my value”
Babaylan “Taking dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival and celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival is as important as celebrating the Spring Festival for the people in Guangzhou and even the entire Lingnan region.” Zhang Weichao, 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, his ancestors were busy preparing for dragon boat racing for the Dragon Boat Festival for generations. “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.” Regarding the statement that the dragon boat players need to “test capital” to be selected on the Internet, Zhang Weichao believes that this 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 represented Liede Village, Tianhe District, Guangzhou for many years, Mr. Li said: “There has never been a competition in any year. The organizer will see who has more savings, whether it is a private event or an official.Even this will not become a criterion for the evaluation of the square competition. ”
Liede Village once became a well-known urban village in China due to its 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 whether you are a worker or an entrepreneur outside, as long as you return to the village to represent the collective Komiks 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 Komiks standards are different for the competition training players required by different villages.” In Zhang Weichao’s perception, the saying of selecting contestants based on wealth lacks practical basis, because this violates the traditional customs of Guangzhou and the original intention of dragon boat activities: “Dragon boat racing reflects the clan culture of Guangzhou in the past, 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 the dragon boat ferry is just a link in the dragon boat culture. In the past, the exchanges between villages and the protection of the village from being “invaded” are based on the mutual communication between villages, and the demonstration of the strength and sufficientness of the men in the village.
In fact, the dragon boat ferry has been passed down in Guangzhou for a hundred years and has gradually been obtained from folk events. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan officially recognized. In 1994, the Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government officially designated the Dragon Boat Festival as the local Dragon Boat Festival. 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 the Dragon Boat Selection? Zhang WeiCinemaTourist explained to Hongxing News: “It mainly depends on the players’ endurance, experience, physical fitness and various professional skills. “At the same time, Red Star News saw the Cinema on the official website of the General Administration of Sports of China. The “Introduction to the Dragon Boat Rules” released by the bureau in March 2013, also requires the team members to be healthy, know how to swim, and be familiar with water.
Mr. Li from Liede Village told reporters that Liede Village will have 4 teams participating in the Guangzhou International Dragon Boat Invitational this year, including 3 men’s teams and 1 women’s team. He introduced to reporters how to select players in Liede Village. One of the selection criteria for women is to know how to swim, while the man will ask for villagers in the village. If he is over 40 years old, each person will still need to compete in a 100-meter rowing competition.
If you lose the game, you will be punished to kneel to the ancestral hall? “There will not be a team that will stipulate that if you lose the competition, you will be punished.” “Guangzhou landlords, 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, saying that if the contestant loses the competition, they may be punished to kneel on the ancestral hall.
“In the clan culture heritage of Guangzhou, the ancestral hall is indeed a very important symbol. To this day, 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 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 a spontaneous behavior, you should not take it seriously.” Zhang Weichao told Hongxing News that there are many non-governmental organizations in Guangzhou, and they are often organized and organized by the village collective or community. Therefore, the selection and reward are formulated separately, but the gap is not big, and basically Cinema cannot see the content of the prescribed punishment. Mr. Wang, a villager from Lied, said: “The results of the competition in the past symbolized the status and face of the entire clan, but now the competition is more about the inheritance of the culture of Komiks and the festive atmosphere, so winning or losing is actually not important.”
Spectators cheered and cheered to reduce rent exemption? Tenant: Watching the game and sending blessings is not to reduce rent
KomiksSome days, Ms. Wang, who rents a living near Zhujiang New City, will also go to the Pearl River to watch the dragon boaters do it for the competition when she has time.With various training, she also plans to send a blessing message to the landlord through WeChat before the start of the race, wishing the landlord the dragon boat team that the landlord participated to win and win.
Ms. Wang told reporters that her visit to the game and blessings to the landlord were not to reduce rent. She joked: “The rent is written on the contract and paid on a quarterly basis, how can it be waived for a month?” The princess 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. The contestants rowed and unified the standards, and shouted loudly, which was really spectacular.” Ms. Wang told reporters that the closer the Dragon Boat Festival, the more people watched 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 feel the heat of this festival on the spot. Zhang Weichao said: “Maybe a landlord will share this joy with the tenant after winning the game, but the form of sharing is free and there is no regulation.” He said that perhaps there is a house where there is a house that does reduce rent, but this is not a convention rumored online.
