Description
Dragon boat racing is a Chinese cultural tradition that goes back 2,400 years. It began on the riverbanks in the valleys of southern China as a fertility rite performed to produce abundant crops. The first participants held this celebration on the fifth day of the lunar month of the Chinese calendar. The race was held to prevent misfortune and encourage rain that was needed for prosperity. The dragon was the object of their worship.
