成千上萬的運動員和狂歡者參加了香港端午節慶典和各區的龍舟競賽。逾3萬人參加了最大型的赤柱國際賽。賽事亦在沙田、大埔、西貢及愉景灣等地舉行。
一年一度的節日哀悼愛國詩人屈原逝世,他在戰國時期(公元前475-221)投江自盡,以抗議政治腐敗。
支持者把他們的糭子和船隻帶到河邊,拼命地試圖拯救他。為了使魚和邪靈遠離他的身體,他們敲打鼓,用槳划水,並將粽子扔進水裏。
參賽者來自全球各地,包括巴西、杜拜和墨西哥等。龍舟賽現在遍布世界各地。是一個很好機會,再認識詩人屈原的政治抗議(具有當代意義)。
Tens of thousands of paddlers and revelers joined the dragon boat races to celebrate Tuen Ng (aka Dragon Boat) Festival celebrations across Hong Kong. Over 30,000 descended on Stanley where the largest international race was held. Races were also held in Sha Tin, Tai Po, Sai Kung and Discovery Bay.
The annual festival mourns the death of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan, who drowned himself to protest against political corruption during the Warring States period (c 475-221 BC).
Supporters took their dumplings and boats to the river and desperately tried to save him. To keep fish and evil spirits away from his body, they beat drums, splashed the water with their paddles and threw rice dumplings into the water.
Contestants came from across the globe including Brazil, Dubai, and Mexico, etc. Dragon Boat racing is now held all over the world. It is a great opportunity to create awareness and honour the poet Qu Yuan’s protest on political corruption (with contemporary relevance).
