If anyone is wondering why there are only men in the boats, this form of dragon boat racing is for men only according to ancient tradition, which believes that women represent wind and wind cannot be on top of a dragon. Many modern forms of dragon boat racing (such as the Asian Games) are open to all genders, but the dragon boat race I watched in this video still follows the ancient traditions down to the last detail, hence, men only. What do you think? Is it more important to stick to the traditions or update to fit the values of modern society? 🐲
I think sticking to tradition is more important
被中国的女权运动感召了?
谁想去就去吧,不分男女。但安全措施要做好啊,我看他们都没有穿救生衣。
中国古代智慧不追求男女平等,而是男女有别,依据天然的性别划分和各自的性别优势,个人干自己该干的事,发挥各自的特长与优势,盲目追求男女平等不符合自然规律
stick to the tradition, why not.
After 17 years in China, I finally got to be in a race! Great experience as a drummer in Shekou, Shenzhen.
你来自哪里😂
😂能担任鼓手那也很厉害了,鼓手是指挥呀
awesome
@@bellJake I'm from the States, but I'm feeling better! 😜
Drummer is the most important memember of the dragon boat race. he needs to control the rhythem and momentum. he is the soul of the team..
You got to see the dragon boat races in GUANGDONG province. It's another level.
When they say Guang Dong drift, it's not about cars, they drift dragon boats there...
ProjectD(Dragon)😂
Different Dragon Boat Festival tradition. We don't like GuangDong dragon boat because all GuangDong Dragon boat is only care about speed. Hangzhou Dragon boat cares different things, like music, water coming through the dragon mouth and lots of traditions since Ming Dynasty.
As a cantonese person, what is this dragon boat racing that I'm watching. haha.
Guangdong dragon boat rovers are bumped, powerful and in sync!!!
Wow, all the dragon boat races I watched before are all about speed, some variations like the drift boat race in Foshan but still all about speed. But this is the first time I see this as a beauty race! Thanks!
Hi Katherine...looks like fun was had by all !!!! Thanks.
Thank you for the interesting dragon boat race...err...performance, Katherine!
There are very similar races conducted annually in the southern parts of the state of Kerala in India. It is called "Vallam Kali" in the regional language, Malayalam. Likely migrated from China via trade connections in the medieval times via South East Asia.
每个省的龙舟赛都可能有不同的规则。😂各种类型都有。
在我老家(江西)是红龙船和黑龙船赛,沿河比赛划到河边的几个村接受村民的红布挂船头,然后需要祈福的村民会放鞭炮迎接,还会送烟酒及赏钱。
🎵Row row row a boat,
Katherine is our Queen!🎵 :D
You meant Katherine the Great!
Very exciting event. Hope you like sticky rice as well. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much Katherine for this spectacular video. Dragon boat race is really fantastic and unique and above all a great moment of joy for all people of all ages. 💕🌷⚘️🪻
We hold dragon boat races here in Kota Kinabalu city every year. For this competition it is about speed, and yes there are international teams from Asia, south east Asia and Australia. It was held the same time you saw yours.
Funny, hilarious and joyful
Thank you Katherine.
Beautiful scenery and a very informative video.
Looks pink to me 😅 Thanks for sharing all these spots you visit 🤩
I'm still yet to see Dragonboat racing in China, one day!
It's clearly red!
@@Hystericall my mistake 😅
我們廣東的龍船比較大,長,參與的人也比較多,所有人都坐著扒的,比賽氣氛相對大型和熱鬧,誠意邀請Katherine 明年端午來香港赤柱一起嘉年華
What a very different race. I haven't actually seen a dragon boat race since I was in one back long before you were born. (1972/3) On that occasion, a lot of alcohol was imbibed and I actually rowed myself right out of the boat. Needless to say, we didn't win. I like dhit race (performance) though, it looked really good.
😀😀😀 first time know there is a different kind of boat racing rules. thank you for sharing.
不是粉色,但就是粉紅色 無誤
這是趣味龍舟賽! 廣東,福建才是龍舟賽吧!?
吴楚大地都有,江苏,江西,浙江,福建,广州,湖南,湖北,。
苏州端午节纪念的是吴国的伍子胥。陕西不纪念屈原,不划龙舟,是庆祝屈原跳江,因为陕西是秦国
❤❤❤Amazing
Thank you so much for sharing 💕💕💕
Hope you has a great time 🥰
Love the spectacle. Thanks again.
Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Festival is the largest with competitors from around the world taking part. If you have the time that is the one to go to. In my younger days I competed two years in a row in Toronto Canada to try and win a spot to go to Hong Kong's competition. One of the best times ever!
Fantastic 🚢 shows. The participants and audiences young and old have so much excitement written all over their face and Kat.😂
Penang(Malaysia) hold similar events annually.
Water jet performer was epic.
Fabulous video, also love your Chinese and how you interact with these Wonderful people
I live in Canada and we got this too. It is more athletic and less party, quite popular with the cancer survivors who like to take it up as a sport, but the waters are much more calm and the crowds not so big. Many times the team members are from the Chinese diaspora, but it is open to all and gaining popularity as a water sport. I think the modern versions are good and appealing to the younger, sporting demographic, but I do like that these boats have more prominent dragon faces.
Thanks for sharing this nice video clip. Take care brave gal. Best regards 🍻🙏
Thanks Katharine.
Quite unigue style of Dragon Boats!👌🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Great to see more chill dragon boat performance, compared to pure strenght rowing competition elsewhere.
If you like to see people falling from the boat, you should watch Joutes Provençales in southern France 😂
My son was on a dragon boat team for so long, and now that he is going to college, he says he may join up again. it's a nice way to meet other asian students. (he is a hybrid filipino/american) I was surprised that there is a dragon boat team in just about every state in the US.
we are in Arizona
They even used to have dragon boat races in my neck of the woods, in a lake on the Dutch German border.
Those races were very much about who was the fastest though ....
杭州蒋村龙舟有赤膊龙舟、半天装龙舟、满天装龙舟等。前一种参与比赛,后两种主要是迅游增加仪式感。赤膊龙舟比的不是快,主要比谁动作整齐有力,比谁的龙头压出更大的水花并从龙头的口中吐出。所以与其说是赛龙舟还不如说是闹龙舟更贴切,这一天也是各村居民一年中最重要的聚会聚餐的日子。
China always seemed to have a holiday or festival when I lived there 🎉 Roll on next year 💪
Interesting. Their dragon boat is different from the others. It shorter and wider than the ones I'm used to seeing.
The weather is so good and I wish I was there as where I am is so cold right now 🥶
Next Tuesday, there will be another dragon boat festival ceremony in Xianlin town Yuhang district. You can come then if you interested. And we call that small Dragon boat festival. The scale of that is same as it is in your video footage. Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important festival in hangzhou especially in YuHang, no matter how busy you are or how rich you are, or how far you are, at that time you have to return home for that day and performance in Dragon Boat race to honor the clan. And only Yuhang District has the Dragon Boat performance competition. By the way, I went to participate in that performance when I was only 10 years old. And I played going at that time.
I have only seen the racing before. Thanks for introducing me to the performance art side of things.
A dragon boat performance! Nice 😁
原来是五常龙舟,我就在西溪湿地这边哈哈,看到河里有这边房东们再滑
南方房东最爱的有氧运动😂
Yes, I've seen my first dragon boat race last August.
陽離子 晚上好🌠🤗
晚上好😄
好吧,关注你很久了。西溪湿地,蒋村这边划船一直就没有断过。非常热闹。你总是可以拍到真正的风俗,走的也是真正的好路线。
Kathleen , the dragon boat race is not to honour the dragon but to honour Qu Yuan😊
this comment needs a community note.
duanwu festival existed way before Quyuan, yes people at state of Chu honored quyuan on Duanwu by throwing Zongzi (a type of food) into the Yangzi river, thus both events kind merged together into one over time. but the origin of Duanwu, and Dragon boat racing festivals has nothing to do with Quyuan
It’s to honor the god of the sun, hence “duan wu”, this festival exists before Qu Yuan
The dragon boat is definitely associated with Quyuan. Now, there are some who want to deny it because they don't like certain festivals of Chinese origin, just like wanting to change Chinese New Year to Lunar New Year.
@@Xind0898 That's not how I heard it. I was told Duanwu came about because of Quyuan's suicide and Zhongzi was invented because of this festival.
Some people here said the dragon boat race is to honour Qu Yuan, some people here dispute that. To find common ground I think everybody here can settle that the dragon boat race from now on is to honour Karl Marx and Joseph Stalin. After all Mao said Joseph Stalin is the benevolent father of the Chinese people and when Stalin died some people in Beijing were made to kneel before the portrait of Stalin. This is because the current regime traces its origin as a Soviet puppet state in the 1930s called the 'Republic of Soviet China' (中華蘇唯埃共和國). This is why the five star flag closely resembles the Soviet Union flag. To remember this history it is only appropriate to dedicate the dragon boat racing to Marx and Stalin.
You’re awesome! I can’t wait to see China myself
Interesting!! Here in Vancouver Canada the dragon boat race is actually a speed race. It's a fun event for sure..
太棒了!通过您的视频我们能看到这么棒的龙舟活动。也感谢您拍出这么棒的片子,同时也感谢您,通过您的视频,我正在学习您的美式英语。我们会一直关注您的視频,学习您的美式英语。
Another kind of boatwright.
A few centimetres of freeboard, heavy bow.
Fair weather showboat
👍
so much fun, love it🤗🤗. love from canada.
I guess you can call it pink, but also reddish purple if you like. we often like the word "红的发紫".
👍 tq sharing 😀
Rowed on a dragon boat for 25 years at Flushing Meadows lake in Queens N.Y.
Cheers from Edmonton Alberta Canada.
2024 Edmonton Dragon Boat Festival will be held on August 17 and 18 at Telford Lake, Leduc, Alberta. Please come and help celebrate the occasion!
you really got me there with the tactful bleep at the pink vs. red comment ... lol 😂
So much fun. Wish I was.
中國每個省份的龍舟比賽都不盡相同,有機會可以多探索看看
looks like really fun event
Spitting Dragon, Hidden Mantis
Wonderful!
哈哈,阳离子你好呀❤
A very good video indeed; thank you Katherine. Just wondering - any "all-girl" rowing teams in these races? It's about time, right?
There are womens teams for many speed races like Asian games, not in this particular type though
Very interesting, they are having so much fun, in China there are so many interesting festivals, including the Mid Autumn, I love it the most ❤🥰
Fun!
一直以为龙舟都是竞速的,没想到还有花式的,太阳底下充满新鲜事😊
apparently, that headgear is in pink color
Thanks, it is very interesting. No, I have never seen one, but on TV. BTW, you are very beautiful.
Yes I've seen one here in Australia.
You should watch the Liaoning team+races in Liaoning! The funny fails from (probably) the worst team in China🤣🤣
重在参与!
It seems to me that dragon boat races are spreading to everywhere.
we need to organize that in Paris ! It looks fun :)
great video. thanks
We Taiwan also have the dragon boat races.
Where there are Chinese there are bot race.
那人说不是粉色的意思可能是姹紫嫣红里的嫣红色?
@nickey477 准确!
Next year, go to the ones in Guangdong where the teams can do corners in the canals by drifting ... speed is more exciting.
Also, where is the realgar?
What’s a realgar? And hope to be able to see a guangdong dragon boat race another year 😁
雄黃酒,端午節白蛇娘娘喝下後現出原形( 白蛇傳)
I think I speak for all of your viewers when I say that we hope to see you on one of those boats next year!
🙂🙂🙂
就是粉色的! 然后还有就是 果然沉了~ 哈哈
🤩
Thanks Katherine.
Perfect lunchtime entertainment out here in Ohio! Love it!
Its surprising the is your first Dragon Boat Festival! Now you know, you know!
They have zhongzi during this festival , have you tried it? It's a rice dumpling with meat filling, for those who don't know. Thanks for sharing the vid.
There isn't a concerted effort to exclude women from taking part in dragon boats race, but due to the physical level required, it's not easy to assemble an all female team to compete with men, or enough women to race among themselves, that said, you do see some women taking part albeit very rare.
Interesting video, and topical, so thanks for posting.👍👏
Brilliant
Exhilarating to watch your video today. Thank you.
Dragon boat race is a form of reenactment of local people searching river for great Chinese poet Qu Yuan. Upon learning Qin army breached his home state Chu's capital, in exiled Lord Qu Yuan committed suicide by sinking himself into Mi Luo river. This happened during the seven states' struggle to unite China. 57 years after Qu Yuan's death, Qin came out on top and united China in 221BC.
建议你到江西乡村走走,哪里的景色更美,特别是江西吉安渼陂古村。I suggest you go to MeiBei village Ji'An JiangXing province, I think you will enjoy it.
Pretty in pink, resplendent in red. Are they little pinks?
5:36 This is a video of dragon boat racing in Guangdong, China, not in Vietnam!!!
不算粉色 哈哈哈哈哈哈 笑出了声
广东那种拐弯带漂移的龙舟好看😅🤣😂
Witnessed my first dragon boat race on Lamma Island off HK ..that one was based on speed
Those googly eyes!
赛龙舟要大家一起竞争才精彩
during my childhood i run to river to watch the racing before the racing all teams' members got hot buns which always made me mouth watery i think you are the first foreign girl to make living stream on chinese dragon boat racing
