    Default Vietnam boat racing


    In some places there are only two boats in competition (in ÐÃ*o Xá, Phú Tho), a male boat with the figure of a bird at its head and a female one decorating with a figure of a fish. These two figures symbolize the yin-yang harmony (bird: in the sky – yang, fish: in the water – yin). The movements of the ores waken up the Water God. This kind of boat racing only takes place at night and ends at the crack of dawn. For fishermen boat racing conveys their wishes for bumper fish catches. In other places, boat racing is held to honour general who were good at navy operation.

    At present boat racing constitutes an important part in the program of many festivals from the North to the South, especially the localities with rivers and lakes or near the sea. It has gone beyond a belief activity to become a fascinating sport event, which attracts a large number of participants. As such, boat racing has become an event to compete and display collective strength.

Since people in the temple completed the production advantages, no crop disaster, life becomes warm, rich. Thus, in the folk consciousness Lady is Rating crop gods, bless agriculture.

    Many people said that due to the sacred temple starting February the cross should also dare to drop by for fear of little if any decoration ceremony will be punished. But also the idea that the temple in the remote neighborhood, how to mountains and rivers, traffic is not convenient or less frequented. Whether explaining how it seems native proverb "Yes, Ms. Danh pagoda" is still

    It is not just competition, but also a ritual in honor of the premium rate due to people praying in the water-intensive agriculture. As such, the race has become an event to compete and show the collective power.

    The older campers loved making the boats and the younger campers loved watching the older ones race their models. Thanks for sharing info.
