As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, dragon boat racing activities are in full swing in many places. However, the recent administrative detention of two villagers in Wenzhou, Zhejiang for organizing dragon boat rowing without authorization has attracted widespread attention. What is the basis for punishment? How is the local dragon boat activity being carried out? Next, how can we better guide the healthy and orderly development of traditional folk customs? The reporter conducted on-site investigations and visits.

Strictly abide by the safety bottom line of folk activities

The local police reported that on June 9th and 10th, two villagers in Tangxia Town, Rui'an City, Wenzhou, organized personnel to row dragon boats in the village's river channel without reporting permission. During the activities on June 9th, the dragon boat sank. In a video recording the sinking process of the dragon boat on the 9th, the reporter saw that a wooden dragon boat sank into the water in a very short time, and all participants fell into the water without wearing life jackets. Fortunately, after on-site rescue, there were no casualties.

"Carrying out folk activities must prioritize safety," said Jia Yingwu, the captain of the Law Enforcement Supervision Brigade of Rui'an Public Security Bureau. After investigation, several people who fell into the water did not know how to swim, and the consequences of an accident were unimaginable. Therefore, from the perspective of affecting public safety, the public security organs, in accordance with Article 38 of the Public Security Management Punishment Law, imposed administrative detention on the organizers.

In view of the phenomenon of apportionment, vulgarity, superstition, and disorder in local folk dragon boat activities, the Ruian Municipal Government requires that dragon boat teams be guided to carry out related activities in an orderly manner according to the principle of "specified time, designated area, and limited number of teams", and it is prohibited to organize and hold dragon boat activities without authorization.

Chi Xiaohai, President of the Ruian Dragon Boat Sports Association, believes that "Dragon boat racing requires corresponding equipment, personnel physical fitness, and operating methods, while also preventing unexpected situations such as extreme weather. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out related activities in a safe and orderly manner with professional guidance and protection."

Newly established base has become a popular destination for dragon boat racing

According to historical records, "Dragon boat racing originated from King Goujian of Yue. It was used in the water town of Yongjia to pray for races." According to folklore scholars, nearly 80% of counties in Wenzhou carry out dragon boat racing activities every Dragon Boat Festival. Wenzhou dragon boat racing has a long history, profound cultural heritage, wide participation, and great influence.

On the morning of June 17th, the reporter saw at the Zhongtang River Greenway in Tangxia Town, northeast of Rui'an, multiple civilian dragon boat team members dressed in various costumes, under the command of resounding drums, working together to paddle. The dragon boats were chopping waves in the Zhongtang River, and the audience on the shore cheered loudly.

"In order to provide a better practice and competition environment for dragon boat enthusiasts, in addition to the original dragon boat base located in Nanbin Street, Ruian has opened a new Zhongtanghe Dragon Boat Base this year, with a total length of over 5 kilometers." Ruian Deputy Mayor Ma Suting said that to ensure safety, the dragon boat team has rescue forces on standby in the water during training and competition, and corresponding plans have been made for maintaining order on the shore. The dragon boat team convener can book a time and venue at the corresponding town on the track.

From June 19th to 22nd this year, Ruian will organize dragon boat activities in Zhongtang River. Li Xuekai, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Tangxia Town, introduced that in order to ensure orderly on-site activities, there are a total of 8 time periods. The total number of dragon boats in the activity water area during the same time period is controlled to be no more than 70. Participants are required to be between the ages of 18 and 65, and have the ability to swim more than 200 meters without assistance. Dragon boat equipment must also undergo safety audits before being launched.

In addition, on June 30th, the local area will also hold the 9th Ruian City Competitive Dragon Boat Competition, which will make specific regulations on equipment, personnel, procedures, etc. "According to statistics, 16 teams will sign up for the competition this year, and the enthusiasm of the public for the competition is very high," said Chi Xiaohai.

Standardize management and strengthen guidance

As a folk activity, dragon boat racing originated from the folk. Fan Bainai, Vice Dean of the Institute of Public Policy at Zhejiang University, believes that the management of related folk activities should fully consider the feelings of the masses, and should be sparse rather than blocked. We should find a balance between the needs of the masses and standardized management, and guide their healthy and orderly development.

"The convener of the dragon boat and other relevant parties should fulfill their main responsibilities, such as ensuring that participants wear basic life saving facilities such as life jackets, purchasing insurance for participants, etc., to minimize safety risks, while government departments should strengthen guarantees in terms of venue supply, safety emergency rescue, etc., and encourage and support the development of traditional folk customs," said Li Jian, Secretary of the Rui'an Municipal Party Committee.

Many local public security organs have also stated that they will continue to increase their inspection efforts and handle illegal activities in accordance with the law, such as forced allocation and disguised wealth collection during dragon boat activities. Zheng Xiaoyun, a villager from Haidong Village in Tangxia Town who has been engaged in dragon boat activities for 36 years, believes that compared to earlier years, the people's legal awareness and safety awareness have greatly improved. At this time, timely guidance from government departments will achieve better results.

Chi Xiaohai noticed that in recent years, more and more young people have been attracted to dragon boat activities and have participated in them. He suggested promoting the popularization of dragon boat sports among young people through special cultural lectures and other forms.

After the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games and the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, dragon boat racing has once again become a competition event at the Hangzhou Asian Games this year, and the venue for dragon boat racing is Wenzhou. "Next, we will consider holding dragon boat markets and other activities on the Zhongtang River Greenway, while strengthening the training of inheritors of intangible cultural heritage skills, so that more people can understand this folk custom and promote its healthy and orderly development," said Ma Suting.

New comment: Donkey like "morale" limit pulls US debt "bomb" fuse hard to dismantle US | debt | morale

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. 【
