About the Chinese tradition of Dragon Boat Racing
CWC live dealer Jenny, 23 says: "Every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month of the Chinese calendar the Chinese and Chinese at heart celebrate in over 40 countries the dragon boat races. This famous race is based on the legend of Qu Yuan, the poet/philosopher and his political protest against a corrupt regime."
"In the fourth century B.C., China was under political and military strife. This era is also known as the Warring States period. Qu Yuan, disgruntled with the ruler and the state of affairs, protested against the regime by jumping into the Mei Lo River. According to the legend, upon seeing their beloved poet's act of courage, local fishermen raced out with their boats in an attempt to save him. To their dismay, they arrived too late. To prevent his body from being eaten by the fish, they beat the waters furiously with their paddles and threw rice dumplings wrapped in silk into the river to distract the fish."
"The re-enactment of the villagers racing out to save Qu Yuan has become today s dragon boat race festival."
"In honour of this celebration we are going to be dressed in chinese stylised clothing. As the newest team member at CasinoWebcam I just wanted to explain to you the story and the history behind Dragon Boat Racing." - says Jenny.
