On June 13th, Shibing County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou, held a wooden dragon boat exhibition. 200 Miao girls held paddles and carried 120 people in costumes of various ethnic groups on the 98.8-meter wooden dragon boat upstream of the river, leading more than 30 Only dragon boat teams and canoe dragon boats cruise along the Wuyang River.
The canoe dragon boat originated at the junction of Shibing and Taijiang, Qiandongnan Prefecture in the upper reaches of the Qingshui River, where a group of Miao people called "hebian" lived there. This group of Miao people "eats water by the water". You need a "boat" on the water.
They collected materials on the spot, cut down the huge fir, cut out the middle of the tree, put it on the water, stood on it or sat in it, and swam to fish.
The Miao nationality "dragon boat" was born from this.
