A cultural symbol that consolidates the hearts of the people and praises China's Dragon Boat Race for its cultural heritage and traditions

As an ancient folk activity, the Dragon Boat Race originated in the pre Qin period and has a history of over two thousand years. There are different interpretations of its origin, such as the worship of Qu Yuan, the water god, the dragon god, etc., but later generations generally believe that it was to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. It is said that after Qu Yuan died, people rowed boats to salvage his body, and threw Zongzi and other food into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from eating him. Since then, the Dragon Boat Race has spread in all corners of China, becoming one of the important symbols of Chinese civilization.

In the development of Chinese social history, the Dragon Boat Festival competition also has special value. The Dragon Boat Festival falls at the turn of spring and summer, and is a season prone to outbreaks of diseases. In order to drive away mosquitoes and prevent diseases in the river, people use dragon boats to perform "river god worship". In addition, dragon boat racing is also a form of entertainment that allows people to relax and unwind during their busy lives. Therefore, dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival not only inherits historical and cultural heritage, but also serves as a way of social life.

Today, with the development of the Chinese economy and the rise of tourism, the cultural and commercial values of the Dragon Boat Festival race are actively integrated, shining with a new era of brilliance. Governments and enterprises across the country have invested funds and manpower to hold dragon boat races, vigorously promoting the inheritance of traditional culture and the development of modern tourism, becoming an important cultural stage for rallying people's hearts in the new era.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
