赛龙舟 赛龙舟的习俗起源于中国南方。 The custom of Dragon Boat Race began from the Southern China. 他们选择五月初五进行图腾庆典。 They selected the 5th lunar day of the 5th lunar month as the totem ceremony. 图腾上最主要的象征是龙，因为中国人认为自己是龙的传人，因此他们还做了龙舟。 The dragon was the main symbol in the totem, because Chinese people thought they were the descendants of dragon, they also made dragon-like canoe. 后来中国人将这一习俗与端午节联系起来。 Later, the Chinese connected this custom with the Dragon Boat Festival. 这是唯一 一个源自中国南方的活动，这也许就是为什么今天龙舟比赛并不是在全中国都盛行的原因。 This was the only event originating from the Southern China, which might be the reason why Dragon Boat Race doesn’t prevail in the entire China today. 现在，龙舟比赛已经成为一项国际运动，这项运动在美国，加拿大，澳大利亚和新加坡等地都很流行。 Now, the Dragon Boat Race becomes an international event, which is popular in the USA, Canada, Australia, Singapore etc. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/9683271a8762caaedd33d4ad.html
