People in Guangzhou also attach great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival. The old custom is to send the festival from the second day to the fourth day of the fifth lunar month. Young "new hugs" (daughters-in-law) use a "full box" of 64, which contains zongzi, pork, raw chicken, eggs, fruit, wine and so on. Go back to your parents' house to congratulate your elders. On the Dragon Boat Festival, girls and children will hang sachets. Sachet bags are mostly woven with five-color silk threads, and can also be sewn with embroidered silk threads or woven with wool. Generally, they are given by new wives, which embodies the virtue of new wives on the one hand and their skills on the other, commonly known as "new skills". The sachet contains sandalwood powder, pepper, star anise, eggplant powder, sulfur and so on. After lunch on the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone posted "noon symbol". The operator uses a piece of yellow paper about an inch wide and nearly a foot long. With vermilion, the words "at noon on May 5, the official disease is not oral disease, and snakes, insects, rats and ants are eliminated" are written on it. There are also ready-made symbols for sale in the shop stalls. At noon, offering sacrifices to the gods with fruits and zongzi and burning wormwood to smoke the corner of the house are called "repelling mosquitoes and evil spirits". Mix cinnabar with realgar wine and put a red dot on the child's forehead, chest and palm to ward off evil spirits. ...

The custom of Guangzhou Dragon Boat Festival moves from tradition to modern dragon boat race, emphasizing the atmosphere.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhucun, which has a history of more than 800 years, welcomed more than 60 dragon boats from Brother Village to "visit relatives". This traditional festival handed down from generation to generation has now added a strong modern color: dragon boat rowing is no longer just a patent for men, but also a patent for women.

In zhu cun, Guangzhou, the Dragon Boat Festival was once called "Men's Day" because only men were allowed to take part in the dragon boat race. Even if you eat "dragon boat rice", women are not allowed to serve. Now, this taboo has been broken. Women naturally sit around the table with men, and with their gentle laughter, "Dragon Boat Rice" is more interesting.

"Let women participate in the Dragon Boat Festival, which is an improvement for the Dragon Boat Festival custom to adapt to modern society." Pan Jianming, vice chairman of Guangzhou Folk Writers and Artists Association, said that with the evolution of the times, some traditional festivals and customs have gradually abandoned elements that are not suitable for the times.

Pan Jianming said that in the past, when the dragon boat passed the bottom of the bridge, people on the dragon boat would throw firecrackers at the bridge, fearing that someone would stand on the bridge and watch the dragon boat "crush the dragon head", which often caused injuries and disputes. The practice now is much more civilized and harmonious. The villagers laid woven fabrics on both sides of the bridge in advance, and the citizens enjoyed sightseeing on both sides of the river.

Guangzhou folk dragon boat races are usually held between villages. In the past, every village had to strive for the first place, in order to honor its ancestors and make a name for itself. However, due to the lack of strict rules and rulings in rural folk competitions, there have been disputes. Now, the dragon boat race has evolved into a friendship race, aiming at participation. No matter who wins, the organizer will send a "first place" banner to each participating village, and the dragon boat race will become a folk carnival.

Dragon boat race is no longer about success or failure, but its competitive significance has not disappeared. Every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, the Guangzhou Municipal Government organizes the International Dragon Boat Invitational Tournament, which attracts many dragon boat teams from home and abroad, and Guangzhou folk dragon boat teams also show their talents in the Invitational Tournament.

Yang Jing, the stationmaster of Zhuji Street Cultural Station in zhu cun, Guangzhou, said that the folk dragon boat race values the festive atmosphere, while the government-sponsored dragon boat race is a regular event. The two complement each other and bring out the best in each other, so that the traditional custom of dragon boat rowing can be better integrated into modern society and passed down.
