The word dragon boat was first seen in which work?

the word "dragon boat" was first seen in the pre-Qin ancient book "The Legend of Mu Tianzi".

"Dragon boat" is a dragon-shaped or dragon-engraved vessel. In ancient times, emperors who were known as the "real dragons" usually took dragon boats when walking on waterways. For example, "The Son of Heaven floats in the marsh with a bird boat and a dragon boat" (Biography of Mu Tianzi), and "Climbing the Dragon Boat is Lucky for Jiangdu" (Sui Shu Yangdi Ji). The dragon boat on which the emperor rides is tall, spacious, magnificent and luxurious, with lofty pavilions, finely carved and painted gold ornaments, and extraordinary weather. The "Dragon Boat" painted by Li Song in the Southern Song Dynasty Painting Academy is an example. The folk dragon boat used for racing is not comparable to the royal dragon boat, and it is generally made narrow and narrow to facilitate the race. The shape of the dragon boat used as a race boat changes with the times and different regions. According to reports, in the old days, the dragon boat on the West Lake was about forty or fifty feet long, with its head and tail high and painted in dragon shape. There are two floors up and down in the middle cabin, and the bow has a leading prince and a swing, all dressed up as children. The prince stands still and the swing goes up and down. Next to the bow, crossbow, sword, halberd and other "eighteen martial arts" and various flags. There is a centipede flag at the end, the lower deck of the middle cabin beats gongs and drums, and sailors row beside it. Dragon boats in Suzhou are divided into various colors, with flags inserted at the four corners, advocating that the hands are crouched in the middle cabin, and there are 16 rowers on both sides. The pole master's hook stands at the bow, which is called the head pole. On the bow pavilion, children with good looks were chosen to dress up as taige stories, and they were called the leading prince. The stern is high and tied with colored ropes, and children who are good at paddling perform programs such as "topping the list", "The boy worships Guanyin", "Pointing to the rising sun" and "Yang Feichun sleeps". The dragon boat used for racing in contemporary times is much simpler than in the old days. Ships are divided into red dragon, green dragon, yellow dragon, white dragon and black dragon by color. The decoration of the hull, the umbrellas and flags on the ship, and the costumes of the rowers and even the paddles all require the same color. Dragon boats in Hubei, Hunan and other places are as short as 7 feet, and as long as 11 feet, they paddle like Youlong. Fujian's dragon boat, the bow carving faucet, the mouth can be opened and closed, the tongue can be turned. The dragon boat in Guizhou is a combination of three canoes. The longer one in the middle is called the "mother boat", and there is a drummer on the boat. The two hulls on both sides are slightly shorter and called the "child boat". There are dragon boats in every township in Wenzhou, and there are incense officials and gods in every temple, who specialize in rowing dragon boats. During the Duanyang Festival, new dragon boats will be built in some places. On the first day of April, drums will be drummed to open the doors of the temple, offering sacrifices to officials and gods, and shipbuilding will begin. Generally, the doors of the temple are not opened until the first day of May, and they are rowed immediately after offering sacrifices to the gods, which is commonly called "Sheung Shui", and the dragon boat is called "receiving incense" when it returns, and the dragon boat is called "dispersing the river" or "washing the lane" when it ends, and the dragon boat is turned over, then it is rectified the next day and carried to the temple for preservation. It is also necessary to offer sacrifices to the official god. According to legend, the official god of incense is a child god who likes to play with people, so it is said that young people. In the dragon boat rowing area, people who row dragon boats are required to pay dragon boat fees, treat them to wine, set off firecrackers and set up sacrifices to welcome them, which is called "putting incense cases". (Now these customs are gone) The dragon bow is similar everywhere. Some painted Long Lin on the hull, and the dragon tail, the leader of the activity, was placed at the head and tail, which was smaller in shape. Some painted a few Long Lin on the hull, and it was headless and tailless, but it was larger in shape. Dragon boats in each township have their own flags with fixed colors. If there are several dragon boats in a township, the flags should also be used to distinguish the signs. Take the ancient custom of Nantang River in the southern suburb of Wenzhou as an example. Some flags are blue, and the dragon head, dragon tail and hull are all blue, which is called "Qinglong". According to legend, in the four directions, only seven houses in the East black dragon are called dragons, so green is a positive color. This Nantang River is dominated by Shencheng, so the dragon boat in Dongtang Temple in Shencheng is particularly large, with 16 stalls and 44 people on board, named Daqing, which is considered as a dragon mother. Other dragon boats must first appear before Dongtang Temple, and the temple steward will reward Ayabeni and Daqing, but the dragons dare not compete with them. The other small ones are called Qinglong, and the other yellow ones are called Huanglong. The flag is white, and the color of the ship is also white, commonly known as "Bailonger". If it is a red flag, the hull is also dyed red, which is called "red neon ridge" and so on. Because the southern dialect is red, it is a water dragon, and its temperament is impatient, so it changed its name, which means taboo. There is no black dragon in the dragon boat. It is said that oolong is fierce, and some people say that Xuanwu in the north is a turtle, which climbs slowly and can't fight for life. Therefore, there is no black dragon boat in Wenzhou. In the two-boat race, the water flies by the waves, and the two dragons fight for the championship. The rivers in each township are divided into sections, and the fighting dragons do not interfere with each other. Therefore, there are the names of Dalongdi and Xiaolong. The number of dragon boats, rated at 36, is called a trough, which is commonly known as the "36 incense officials." If it's a little dragon, there are thirteen gears on the hull, twenty-six people rowing, one flag on the hull, two tips on the back, one god singer, two drums, two gongs, and two incense buckets, which is exactly the number of thirty-six. There are eighteen stalls in the Dragon. Thirty-six people rowing on both sides, plus twelve deacons of drums, tips, gongs, flags, singing gods and holding incense fights, need 48 people. Rowers dress according to the flag color. In Cangnan and other places, it is defined as white clothes and white hats to mourn Qu Yuan. At present, the dragon boat is rated as 42 people, rowers are thirteen or sixteen, one at the front and one at the rear, one at the palm of the flag, one at the drum, one at the gong and one at the singing of the gods. All four of them are standing in the middle of the dragon boat. The dragon boat has nineteen gears. Take eighteen gears, and one gear is empty in the front direction. The dragon boat does not turn around during the race, but people turn around and sit in the opposite direction. The drums of the dragon boat are very rhythmic, and the drums that turn around are dense drums. ) On the ship's surface, the drum is in the middle, and people rowing on both sides should listen to it. At both ends, the oars are tips, which is the rudder. Therefore, as the saying goes, "The drum is the command, and the tip is the life." Gong is to listen to drums, but also has the role of encouraging. The flag is a clear boat color, so that the audience on the shore can identify it. Only those who hold the staff to sing the gods and hold the incense bucket are for the purpose of offering incense to the officials and gods, which has no effect in the race. Among the dragon boats in Wenzhou, the dragon boats in Shangtang and Xiatang of Yongjia are the most famous. The dragon fight is carried out in the fast-flowing nanxi river, with a distance of ten miles and a round trip of twenty miles. If you go down with the tide and the tide rises in the middle, or go up with the tide and fall in the middle, you must fight to the end and never stop. In addition, there is no change of direction, and it is necessary to row to the end. Its tail end is equipped with a tip paddle, and there are two people at the tip and two at the bow, so as to keep the balance between the fore and aft of the ship. At the head of the dragon, these two men held the dragon's head and acted together with 36 oars, which greatly enhanced the speed. The road was long and the water was against the wind, the wind was tight and the waves were urgent, and the gongs and drums were loud and the shouts were loud. It was really heroic. The residents who participate in water dragon rowing in Yueqing are called "Shuilonghu", a collective of Shuilonghu is called "Shuilongzhong", and the location of Shuilongzhong is called "Shuilongdi". Some natural villages even take this division as an independent unit to hold some public welfare undertakings or undertake some social obligations. Every year, there is a leader in water dragon rowing, commonly known as "the first thing" or "the first family", who is elected by the water dragon households by rotation or by lot. Hose households pay by the amount or by household. Those who take part in rowing have subsidies, such as one catty of pork per person per day in Cheng Zhen. In the name of waterspout, all waterspouts are congratulated on their wedding, the birth of their first-born boy, the building of houses and the promotion of officials, and the graduation of universities and middle schools after the abolition of the imperial examination. To be congratulated, there should be a dragon boat red silk or red cloth tied to the "dragon neck", which is commonly called "hanging red", as well as "fragrant gold" and food gifts. In the old days, some hoses often illegally cut down camphor trees or steal the longest Chinese fir in the "tree temple" (wood line), resulting in litigation disputes. In the west of Yueqing County, there are several dragon boats in the big natural villages, which are called "ten dragons in the land group" or "seven dragons in the south house". (The biggest dragon boat race in Yueqing is in the North White Elephant, with hundreds of dragon boats taking part every time-spontaneous) For example, there are more than 1 dragon boats in the small hidden lake in Baishi Town, Yueqing. On that day every year, there are more than 1 dragon boats in the whole region, and there are banners offering rewards for winning the prize. Men, women, children and spectators are crowded. Some areas, such as Mayu in Ruian, don't make their own dragon boats. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, they detained the transport boats on the river, twisted them with cables and used them as dragon boats. They gave silver rice to the boaters on a daily basis and released them three days later. If they won the first prize, they would not only give preferential treatment to the boaters, but also enjoy rich wine and meat. However, in Wenzhou, which is located in mountainous and semi-mountainous areas, there are many dry lands, few paddy fields and no river ports, there is no custom of rowing dragon boats during the Dragon Boat Festival.
